cathair Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I need international slots to bring a few designated players. However, absolutely no one has any (or so it appears). I have offered player after player to mls clubs, and when offers come in they never consist of an I.S. Furthermore, I don't have an option to include an I.S in the deal? I really dont know why this is? Also, when I go into a team, say for example, Philadelphia Union, I see they have a Columbian and a Honduran starting. However, when I go into 'Squad Registration' it says: "Maximum of 0 internationals-0" . I get this at every single team in the MLS. Can someone help please?

AcidBurn Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Did you add the mls mid game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathair Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yep I did, doing the Pentagon challenge you see. Why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 On the last patch if you added the mls mid game it would mess up the international player slots and there was no fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manworker Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I could be wrong but for the 2012 season of the MLS clubs cant trade international slots. So what you get is what you get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manworker Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 actually im wrong you should be able to trade international slots if there isnt a bug or something. I just looked at the official roster rules. If you dont care about having a few bad season down the road look to trade some of your better rotation or young drafted players for better domestic players, players with American second nationality. You could also trade your superdraft picks for players. Also if you could keep the best international players until they gain citizenship then once the international slot frees up fill it with another. It is going to take a lot of roster balancing and juggling to be super good. It might cost you a couple seasons down the road though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 In reality, teams trade draft picks for international slots, or buy them using allocation money; they do similar things when trading draft picks for other draft picks. FM doesn't really have a way to do this (I think you need a player involved, which often defeats the purpose), so my personal strategy has been to avoid getting into a situation where I need to find an extra slot. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I once traded Steve Zakuani for a 5 year International Slot. Would be nice if FM13 only had a 'trade' option with the other clubs in MLS (like similar to the EHM07 trade screen?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manworker Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 you can trade players. There is a players part in the transfer offer but there are restrictions on what players you can ask for which I cant think of at the moment. Also when offering players you could offer them to MLS teams only and see what offers you get. In my experience I have only gotten draft pick from that.

Would be nice if FM13 only had a 'trade' option with the other clubs in MLS (like similar to the EHM07 trade screen?). In my experience "Offer to Other MLS Clubs" works like that; you only ever seem to get trade offers, either for players or for draft picks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
looknohands Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just note that there's a minor issue with traded international slots- some of them are expiring after the regular season, but before the playoffs. Be sure to check your transfer clauses to determine when the international slot will expire, or else you might go into the playoffs short-handed.

manworker Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I once offered my one of my rotation right back to MLS clubs and the only thing clubs wanted to give me were their third round supplemental draft picks. The players had a value of about $90k and the trade offers were worth a massive $15. That does not seem like a good deal to me since the supplemental draft is all of the players that dont get picked in the super draft, so I wouldnt get anyone that was near as good as the player I was trying to get rid of. It is kind of funny to me how FM puts a dollar value on draft picks and international slots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangepup Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am managing the Galaxy and have been able to acquire 4 additional International slots through trades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You can trade international player slots as long as you start with the MLS but if you add it mid game then it messes up teams international slots. This can mean no teams have any international slots to trade and they cannot register any foreign players. On the squad registration screen it will simply say a maximum of 0 international players. I got 500k in allocated funds for my midfielder off LA Galaxy and they bid 400k for one of my defenders. I traded my striker for 220k allocated funds, an international slot for 2 years and a first round super draft pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
