Deltaroad Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That is the stupidest thing ever. Paying someone 50k a week plus an extra 5k for making an appearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez33 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yes they do, in real life you will often here commentators mention them when john o'shea comes on for last 3 minuts of a match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Franchise 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It works in certain situations though. Someone who might not be worthy of a regular first team place might get offered £3k a week, but £15k for a first team appearance. I do agree that someone earning MORE a week than the appearance fee itself doesn't make sense though. The best example I can think of as being important was a few years ago when Derby were in deep financial trouble and we always had Giorgie Kinkladze sitting on our bench, despite being the best player we had by a mile. He'd only come in in big games when we truly needed him, otherwise we'd keep our money and not play him. Appearance fee also helps out if you have an injury prone player, why pay someone the big bucks if you aren't going to play them because they're injured? In a way, it's like a pay as you play contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tithedaddy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 ive always used them as a way to make them want to play if your giving someone an extra 10k for making an appearance they will do everything possible to stay in the eam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 In the game it will never do it tho. I like the incentive that someone has an appearance fee instead of a weekly fee. I can't believe players get so much yet even more when they play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4L Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 @ Deltarod I agree that players are grossly overpaid, but I think you are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Instead of paying everyone a higher fixed salary you shift a percentage to an appearence bonus in every contract. The aim is to lower the total wage cost for the club as you don't play all your players every game. Offcourse it's quite possible to set up a scenario where the club is actually paying more, but that is the main idea I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Can appearance fee be negotiated down in the game? Has anyone tried it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kritik Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I wish I could get paid just for coming to work on top of the salary/wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I wish I could get paid just for coming to work on top of the salary/wage. A player's work is to train and be available for selection. If it wasn't, you wouldn't have to pay non-starters at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Can appearance fee be negotiated down in the game? Has anyone tried it? Yes, appearance fee can be negotiated down. Some players agreed to a 'hometown' appearance fee discount with me before. (most cases I've negotiated down about 10-20% of their previous appearance fee) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
