Sith Lord Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 At the start of my save I have a player who is a new signing and is earning more than x10 the average wage of the rest of the squad and similar for appearance fees. Having played with this team before I know they hemorrhage money through the wage bill and bonus' but i just can't get rid of him! Most players are on £1k - £1.5k per week while he's taking £17k plus £3.2k per appearance (which he is not going to get, obviously) I can even make him at peace with leaving but no one will is even interested let alone bidding either on loan or permanently. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Subsidising wages is often the only way if you're not getting any immediate interest. Otherwise you need to play them and get them in the shop window and hope someone else will become interested. It's incredibly likely that for the exact same reasons he's not worth that 20k a week package to you, he wouldn't be worth it to anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not even that good so I think I am going just put him in the reserves to save the appearance fees but take the hit on the wages. He has almost single handedly wiped the club's bank balance in two months so I am not sure what they/the manager were thinking when they signed him!

2feet Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Best thing is to work out how best to use him in your system. These expensive players can play better than expected because they have hidden skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then get on his nerves as much as possible so that he actually agrees to a mutual termination. Criticise conduct and training every week (pick alll the worst options) and ask him to play out of position and fine him 2 weeks worth of wages ih he underperforms. He'll be likely to agree to a mutual termination in a couple of months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen he also has a 25% increase for winning promotion so I want him out before then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
