Thebaker Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 In IRL teams have often get work permits for players not meeting the work permit rules Its often given if a player is deemed to increase the level of the league (i.e are very talented). What sort of ability is required for this in FM08, or does outstanding ability not ever count. i ask as i'm manager of eastleigh (in L2) and nepal. had a 19yo for nepal who had higher stats than any of my team (heading and marking 15, tackling 17) and i tried to sign him for eastleigh. The wp was refused (nepal are ranked 150 but he had played in every match for the last 2 years), since i couldn't sign him i had a look at fmm to see what ability he was, he had a CA of 93 and a PA of 196! Only a previous game i signed a chilean for a championship side who became a leading prem player(chile where ranked about 40), who had no full caps but about 15 u21 caps. Any ideas how the wp rules are applied in FM08? Should it always be possible to get a WP for really talented players as i imagine you would in IRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think this is implemented in the game. If they fail to meet the rules they will not be accepted at first but if you appeal they should be if they are considered to be talented enough.

AB-forever Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, if he's 19 and only good enough to be a star in League 2, how would anybody know that he has potential to be one of the best players ever in the world? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebaker Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 jod123: the appeal failed as well so that doesn't work. AB-forever: The AI would know which decides on the WP, how do people in IRL know how talented a player is? Also i don't think his age is a factor, southampton sighed marian pahars years ago when he was still a teenager and had'nt played for latvia who were ranked really low at the time.

Reputation probably plays a part as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Did you set him as a key player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
