gazzae Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've joined a team in the French lower leagues. I had 13 players, 3 of which are injured. I signed one player and then the club was taken over. I had a transfer embargo so couldn't sign anyone. Week before the season starts the embargo is lifted new chairman in place but I can't sign anyone as I'm over my wage budget. The option isn't available for me to ask the board to increase my wage budget so I'm having to play the fake grey players in my first team. Do the board not realise I don't have enough players to fill a team or am I resigned to using fake players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmious7 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Aren't there any players in the youth team? (funny situation though I've to admit ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzae Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 There was one player in the Reserves who was a goalkeeper. Apart from him the whole reserve and youth team are solely fake grey players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmious7 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I remember in an older FM that you could actually sign contracts with grey players that are in your team! Can you try that maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb1986 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Why not try some loans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzae Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Even with no wage budget? I might try that - big downside is how bad they are. Will they improve if I sign them rather than leaving them grey? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmious7 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I remember that from that point on they would count as normal players. I'm telling you though, I'm not sure if it works in FM15! Don't get angry at me if it doesn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzae Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Why not try some loans? Finding it hard to find players who will join me and when I do they clubs want a contribution to wages which I'm unable to do. Even a slight increase to the wage budget would help but I can't even ask for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
av3ry Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sounds like a French Blackpool Do you have a parent club? Try taking some of their players on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Grey players bypass the usual wage budget issues as far as I remember. They'll probably be signed on the lowest possible contracts, as you need them to field a team usually when they're generated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
