-Jef- Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 So...I got this message and was surprised a bit to see this kind of criminal activity in FM. #EverythingLegal right Sega? So I sold Karlo Lulic to Bayer for 8 mil € and 20% from next transfer fee. Since he didn't get playing time and my team grew financially and by reputation I was able to sign few big names(Micah Richards being the most famous one) and as soon as I saw the best player for my team in my first 5 season of managament I decided to sign him...to a hefty contract(1.5 mil€/annum). Naturally I forgot about this clause about 20% because I've been playing this save game since November. So basically I paid myself 800k€ and...had my money laundared? Nice one SI.

Cougar2010 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yep thats the way the clause works. If you buy a player back that you sold you get the benefit of the clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Jef- Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I know, I just thought it was funny and interesting. Biggest team in Croatia Dinamo has a boss that is known for having criminal activities such as this one(he actually bought one player from NK Lokomotiva TWICE while being all the time on loan at Lokomotiva from Dinamo) so I thought SI wanted to make me look like him.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That is not criminal. It is an agreed clause being activated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jWaSiMhE Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 There is nothing happening here. Because the 20% is taken out of the fee you paid to Leverkusen. It just basically means you get a small discount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negatrev Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 As stated by others, this is a perfectly normal clause. There was a problem a few years back (which was swiftly fixed!) where you could assign a player with a 50% sell-on and a buy-back price low enough that if you bought them back straight away, you'd actually make a profit! (CPU automatically rejects these since it was fixed). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymondafc Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I remember loads of people doing this with Arsenal and Fabregas. He had a buy back clause, I forget what it was, I think perhaps £30m with a 50% owed to Arsenal clause, so if you could get him to agree a contract you would buy him for £30m and get £15m back haha. There is/was a similar one with Vela too but only for about £3m, keep him for a season and you could sell him for about £20m. Arsenal might have been a selling club but it seems they know how to work the market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
