Sounds good SMV, I’ll give it a try. I must admit I tend to offer a player out without suggesting how much, and don’t transfer list. But then I just tend to accept the highest bid that comes in. It’s just engrained in me to click continue as quickly as possible, thus missing a few tricks like you suggest.

Thanks all, much of that is common sense but I’m always on the look out for handy tips that can improve my save.

How do you play transfers? In my mind the best way to get a large fee for one of my players is not to transfer list them, and wait for a bid which you can hopefully negotiate upwards. The problem with this is that nobody may bid for him in a couple of years. Another approach would be to not play the player, which will then hopefully make him unhappy, and ask for a transfer. In my opinion you should be able to get nearer the players value this way, compared to transfer listing the player yourself. But my problem is that I don’t like to wait, and want my transfer business done asap, meaning I normally snap the clubs hands off, accepting most first bids, or negotiate add on’s that don’t come to more than 10% of the transfer fee incase I scare the club off. So how do you do it? Maybe reject one or two bids from the same club without hinting at how much you want? Or negotiate a big fee in the hope the buying club comes back with a monster offer? I recall having a peak 28 year old GK who a team in League 1 repeatedly bid 40k for pretty much every week when I was in League 2. Is this a glitch? Why were they not increasing the offer each time? How do you perform the other way around, when you are the buying club? I’ve tried unsettling players by showing an interest, but rarely get the asking price down. I’ve checked with agents to see transfer fee and wage estimates, but still want to do more. Maybe I could set up a note reminder to bid for the player every couple of weeks, rather than every time a bid is rejected? And when a bid is accepted, I walk away due to high wages on quite a few players and agent fees to keep my club ticking over. Either way, I feel I can improve on transfers and would love to hear others ways of doing this.

I had a Google and found one on Amazon to buy. Not online though.

It’s amazing to think back as to how technology has advanced since these games in the 90’s. I recall playing Kevin Keegan and a console, maybe a sega mega drive or Nintendo, saved and reloaded a lot in that tbf.

Class!

Yeah Kallstrom was the guy, cheers! Lots of FM podcasts seem to ask where your FM journey began so I thought I’d try and work out mine. when did everyone else start start FM?

I’m just curious about a particular edition where it gave examples of players bought and how they got on as Leicester City? I think I can remember them signing a Swedish winger called Karlsson? Does anyone recall what edition of CM this was? I’m just trying to work out how long I’ve been playing this game for.

This save idea goes against what the majority of FM players do, which is forward planning, but I’d be fascinated to read/ listen to how people would get on if they were only allowed to sign players on Transfer Day! Could you pick up loads of bargains that have been shunned by desperate clubs trying to get them off the wage bill? or will you get stung by clubs really not keen on selling, and therefore charging a much higher fee? I’d assume quality free transfers for instance would be much harder to come by, as pretty much all of the good ones will be gone. You could make it easier/ harder by deciding if you make this just for incoming transfers, or you could make it even harder by only being able to sell on deadline day aswell! If something like this already exists, I’d appreciate a link to follow previous attempts, especially with English teams, at any level. A positive for this would be given you’re youngsters some precious game time before signing up some senior positions, but the negative could be possibly getting the season off to a very slow start. I’m currently engrossed in a different save, but really want to take on this save as my next attempt.

Decent thread which gives me some ideas with my Wrexham FM22 save. Cheers

As I started a FM22 save with Wrexham last month.

Nice thread, what happened next?

Hey Jonny, I’ve just tried to load it for the first time in a few days and all of the downloads are ready to load! So I assume I had to turn it on and turn it off before it would work.

That’s great thanks. I’ll copy that in the morning.

Okay I feel like I’m getting close, but nothing was there when I dbl clicked my name. so I then double clicked the other option which was public and Documents, Sports interactive but no tactics, just editor data, games and skins. then I started again and this time lord of options came up when clicking into my name but documents is empty. cheers for your patience, I’ve lost the will to live several times so it must be just as frustrating from the other side of the fence.
