SurferJames Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I am intrigue to know what are your bargain buys, my best one is Robert lewandowski in January 2014 for just 5.5 million, so tell me what top players have you got on the cheap?

tommysingh Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 James Rodriguez. Went in for him January 2015, Monaco wanted £35-£45m. So i signed Ozil instead for £40m. Come Summer 2015, Rodriguez was available for £6m. #Bargain ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.panda Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 a Bosman transfer for a fully developed Stanciu in 2021, given the money involved I would consider it a bargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommysingh Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Also got a bargain with Ángel Correa. If you haven't heard of him i suggest you find him in your game. He was 20, and unused by barca, available for £2.4m. My scouts had him at 4.5 star potential, 2 star current ability. With some good coaching he became 4 star quality at the age of 22/23, sold him for £20m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eple Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Any good player with less then one year on his contract is usually available for less then his value, even if he's a key player for his team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuban2 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I love bringing in old players who still have some residual quality from their prime. A bargain in transfer fees, but it doesn't do the wage budget any good. Cabaye for 200k was the last one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Daehli for 500k was quite good, Rafinha from Barca for 250k. Pavlovski for 125k, off a Bosman was cream of the crop though, fellow grew into a ridiculous beast CM for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Hacker Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Playing as Boavista I sold a player to Feyenoord for £7million. Two seasons later I noticed that his contract was coming to an end and being able to offer better wages than I ever could before meant that I could get him back for free, but for a little bit of a cost in the terms of wages. He's an outrageous talent, with full international honours at the age of 19 and is now a fixture in Portugal's midfield at the age of 21. So hopefully I can keep him happy and healthy and he can lead me to success in Europe as well as domestically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended the season with the Premier League's top scorer Nouha Dicko signed from Wigan two season's ago for just £450K. He's bagged 23 goals in the Premier (28 in all).

Things Could Get Messi Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Loads of good bargains in this game. Don't want to say too much about the ways to find them but you can often pick up players for below value even when they are not listed if you are willing to look hard enough. Picked up some good PL players for below £2m throughout the game. Alberto Cerri is my favourite free signing so far as he played well for me and I sold him for £24m after 18 months at my club.

ozzyoscy Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 In CM 01/02 some crazy players would end up free. Man Utd signed Henry on a free transfer after one season, so their front line was Van Nistelrooy and Henry. Naturally, being CM 01/02, such a stellar strike force had trouble scoring.

Unknown Hacker Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 hmmm will look at him which is he in first season? Nope, was a regen generated in my 3rd season, when I was in the Second Division. Got promoted that year, after coming 3rd in the Portuguese Premier League the year after I sold him on. He stagnated a bit in his development abroad but two years worth of starting experience in the Dutch league and Europa League don't do many players much harm. The free transfer came along and he was worth every penny as after he came back we won 4 straight league titles (came second the two years he was away), 4 domestic cups in 5 seasons, 4 League Cups in 5 seasons, 1 Europa League and European Super Cup. Unfortunately I had to sell much of that team after a defeat to Barcelona in the Champion's League Semi-finals when my guy was just getting into his prime. I had to quit the save soon afterwards.

sporadicsmiles Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Corchia, for 4million in the beginning of the 2nd season. At the end of the season he was valued at 20million xD I did exactly this for my PSV side. 2 years later he moves to Barcelona for £20 million. That save I did so well in the transfer market; I made profit on almost every player I bought, and used it to strengthen the side. Eventually got to UCL semi finals (via some extremely lucky games, I must admit) before leaving for Leverkusen. At Leverkusen I signed a regen 'keeper on a free who has 5 star potential; is currently 3 stars and 20 years old. He promised to be a monster. In my current save I signed Vidic for a free transfer at the end of the first season for Arsenal, and he was then the rock in a defense that only conceded 15 goals in the league all season and were one game away from going unbeaten (bloody Hull of all teams stopped me!).

TabuKuroshi Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Not really a Soccer fan, but I am a simulator fan. A friend bought me this game recently. I mention this because I do not know much about who is good and which young guys are actually promising in real life. I bought a player named Alberto Cerri from Parma for 930k. All I was really looking at was scouting reports and I noticed he was 1 star with a 4.5 potential. Anyway, at the moment he has 34 goals 12 assists, 11 POM, and a 9.10 rating in 27 appearances for my under 19 team. This is the first season, he is 17yo. I expected to leave him or loan him for the next season to begin with, but with that even on that team I almost have to try him on my primary team right?

Hootieleece Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 As a League 2 player at start I find Lyle Dellaverde to be a good signing.

Kenco Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I got ter Stegen on a free after one season. Surely one of the top keepers in the game and young enough to be my first-choice for the next 12 years. Also picked up a Danish 16 year old defender for 400k, now he's 19 and worth £20m.
