£1 footballer.

In the current cm series you can buy players for £1 and in the hundreds, say £500. But why on fm is it in thousands?

Probably because you will never buy a footballer for 1 quid?

whats the point of having lower denominations?

The figure shown on FM is actually just rounded. If you look in your finances, you'll notice that you'll receive fees such as £500 when it says they offer £1k.

So they lie to us, only buying players for half the price we've accepted!!!!

Pretty much.

Damn them!

Why pay £1 when you could get them free

Well, I see what you mean. You wouldn't want to break the bank with 1 quid!

if you want to buy a player for one pound, then maybe simply give player's team a bottle of wine or smth

My friend IRL was bought for $5 (about 2 quid) from one local team to go play for another, the $5 was to make up for the extra cost of driving across town.

then i can also add that an amateur team loaned me for their floorball trainings as a keeper (i'm normally outfield player) for 10 pounds per training

Gary Hart was bought for a thousand and set of tracksuits:D Not sure if it was a thousand though.

John barnes was bought for a set of weights fomr one of his clubs. gutted :-)

I have heard of a player in a strang country, perhaps it was Scotland, being bought for around 10 kilos in pig meat

omfg (limit)

Sometimes this bugs me, for example when playing in the smallest clubs. I've had a transfer budget of £560, and been

a.) Unable to initiate a deal for £500, and

b.) Unable to tell if I can accept other teams' counter-offers due to the rounding problem.

Its particularly noticeable if playing with British pounds in a country which doesn't use the pound.

The other thing that gets me is the default values in the drop-down. Even when I'm at the smallest club, the "Set Asking Price" drop-down, for example, has as its minimum increment something like £100,000 or £250,000 .. I'd really like it to "scale" according to the reputation of the club, so that when I'm a tiny team maybe the highest asking price is £250,000, and there are plenty of entries like £10,000, £25,000, £50,000, etc.

Oh, that's one other funny thing - we can't make an offer of £25,000! Its always annoyed me, and I know that's almost ludicrous. I just like making aesthetically pretty offers like £25,000 or £75,000.

if i want to make a bid of a.e. 798k, i use these monthly thingies

I think it should scale depending upon your transfer budget...

maybe, to solve this, we should be able to type in the transfer figure (if we wanted) or use the drop down list. gives a bit more of an option

Yeah, why can't you buy a player for 999,999k?

Sorry to be a smartass, but you can buy a player for £1 in real life.

Haidong was signed by Neil Warnock in early 2005 for a recorded transfer fee of one pound, due to a loop-hole in the transfer system Haidong could not join on a free transfer despite being released by Dalian but was able to sign for a cash transfer.

And Lee Hughes was signed by Coventry (I think) for £6,000,001 due to a clause in his contract about being able to speak to clubs who offered more than £6m

Dimitar Berbatov left his youth club "Pirin Blagoevgrad" to join CSKA Sofia. Sofia payed for him by giving Pirin 20 pairs of football boots

I used to by players for a pound, just for the pure novelty of it

Maybe Ferguson would accept that for Ronaldo....

(In scottish accent) "Ee din't went 60miiileeon, Ee went a bug af haggis!":D

You can change the in-game currency and offer a bid that way.

10k RON (Romanian leu) lets you offer ~£181 as a minimum bid.

Chinese Yuan lets you do the same for ~£6.

IS the Zimbabwean dollar in the game?

You appear to be wrong

Barnes was signed on the 14 July 1981 for the fee of a set of kit

It would be pointless with the current rate of inflation.

If Ken Bates bought Chelsea football club for a fiver, then you can most definitely buy players for less

Bill Archer bought Brighton for £1.49, I think.

Wolves cost £10
