Luke1988 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have noticed that AI teams are signing players on contracts with unrealistically low wages and most of the time it seems to be for £160 p/w. This is only happening on free transfers for players that do not have a club. So I have noticed this mainly with league one clubs and below. I know there is the whole 'Covid financial impact' being taken into account with the first season but we currently have established league 1 players signing for league 1 clubs for £160 p/w? This is well below what any professional footballer would be accepting. I can upload my save if necessary but a quick soak test of the free transfers from the first transfer window should pick this up easily enough.

SI Staff Ben Kenney Posted November 26, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks for raising the issue. This is with the development team who are looking into the problem. Cheers, Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke1988 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Any chance of an update on how the development team are getting on with "looking into the problem"? It really is frustrating and an immersion killer to continually see the AI teams signing players on contracts for £160 per week.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ben Kenney Posted January 18, 2021 SI Staff Share Posted January 18, 2021 A fix was included in the 21.2 update for this issue. From our internal tests it looked to improve the issue with established players tending not to sign contracts on wages as low as £160 p/w. Some established players, especially free agents, will be willing to take lower wages than in previous versions, this will be due to a combination of FL salary caps and COVID factors. If you are still seeing players sign for low wages then please let us know the names of the players and how far into the game you are seeing this.

After going through the 2021 summer transfer window, it does appear that this issue has significantly improved. I only noticed two established players signing contracts on £160pw during the window (Duncan Watmore to Tranmere was one of them off the top of my head). Credit to the team for looking into this and correcting. Cheers Luke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
