    He was still on his Youth Conract at Bham when he moved to Dortmund I think, which would have been about 150/w. Unless he went non league somewhere he was always going to be earning more when he left. United offered 30M for him, Dortmund 25M. He's made his desires to play for Liverpool known, so if Liverpool were to offer him a deal and a contract, even if the transfer fee from another club would be higher, he'd most likely go to Liverpool. It's not just a matter of putting numbers into columns and choosing the greater sum.

    Looks like the Crash Davis "Flood the Field so we can get a game day off" maneuver failed....

    If I Spent the time an energy to do that you would turn around and ask for 250 examples....post some numbers and examples on the bug forum. Please.

    One of the previous iterations (FM20?) had a bug where players wouldn't die, they'd reach 99 and keep going. GoldenFM did a save with a bunch of 250 year old English Players (No Physicals, killer technicals and Mentals) in the National team, actually beat a couple of teams. Granted one of them Was San Marino IIRC, but still... My first 1000 year experiment the head coach at brighton remained for the entire save, but if you clicked on him to see his record the game crashed...

    He was just one example, I am positive there are other players out there who Attribute wise look like Tarzan but play like Jane...

    Paper doesn't take into account a Rng number being generated and the resulting decision making tree that happens with all 22 players on the pitch as a result of that result, does it? Then again, on paper, Harry Maguire is a capable defender, isn't he?
  7. Jellico73
    If SI ever wanted to screw with 99% of the FM managers out there it would randomize where the responses were placed....

    The CIES work is interesting, but limiting it to the big 5 leagues skews things. IMO A team like Arsenal paying 30M for a player when other clubs are offering 10M doesn't mean that player is worth 30M, just that they are willing and able to pay 20M more than the others to land him because they really like him. I don't follow baseball all that match but it would be interesting to look at what player moves were like pre/post the 2007 era when statistics really started being used.

    It's the 1 reporters chance to make a name for himself. That or the other reporters are just DM'ing him questions to ask you.

    I submitted a bug report with about ~35 examples of loans that didn't pass the Blink test across a couple of saves I am doing, and SI said "Our QA team are looking into this and we are aware of some issues with loans which we are looking to improve upon". So, hopefully a fix/improvement next patch.

    It's economics and sports, nothing has to make sense. If it did, Ollie Palmer never would have left League One for the Vanarama National for about the same money. I mean, who drops down two leagues? Every player ever offered a higher wage has taken that higher wage? Players haven't taken less money to start at a lower league club rather than sit on the bench at a higher league club? Players haven't taken less money to stay at a club they like? Players haven't taken less money to move to a club they want to move to?

    I paid for the game too. And when I saw something was up with the loan market numbers I didn't tell the people at SI about it on multiple posts and then not believe them when they said I was wrong. Rather I opened a bug report, put in about 40 lines of player data I researched from two different saves, and two days later was told that yes, there looks like there is a problem, and we're looking into and and could have a fix for the next patch. But you keep doing you, I'm sure it will all turn out right in the end... Jellico

    On Transfermarket right now he's valued at 4M. In my 'all countries all players Test save' he's currently rated at 5-15M, in my 2025 save he's at 7.6 to 12.5M at Middlesbrough, who have yo yo'd the last 3 seasons. Last season he played 43, allowed 33, had 19 Shutouts and a 6.93 ratinf It looks like his CA/PA range is around the 125/150 mark. It's quite possible his reputation, both Home and World, haven't gone up. Take a look at similar keepers from a PA/CA point of view in your save, Pontus Dahlberg, Diego Altube, Iker Alvarez, Matvey Safonev, are their values similar or higher than Muric's? Jellico

    I'm conflicted on the empty space at the 2560x1440, I think there are things you can put in but at the same time the potential to overdo it is there as well. At the moment, it looks too empty to me, if that makes sense? There's a difference between cluttered and organized, and I think there is plenty of space to work with to add a few things and keep it clean and organized looking. I'm pretty its a byproduct of the work I do, when I see empty space I wonder what data is missing...and when I see to much data I wonder what got added that shouldn't have been (That or I need to zoom out, or turn some layers of info off...or all them...) I still love the aesthetic, I've rarely used and of the previously available light skins and like this one very much. Jellico

    The dark blue you are using, whats it's RGB code?
  16. Jellico73
    I think the boxes look better, they provide the contrast to see the numbers better.

    I am pretty sure the 'id="psty" is the code in the skin for Personality, there is probably another file (Person Properties.xml) that has a list/entries of all the codes. I am not sure what the translation ID is, as I am still new to skinning myself. FWIW I downloaded and use a program called Astrogrep, you can type in a search string and it will search all the files in the directory you have chosen, it's been handy to figure out where things are. Not that it helps me make sense of such things, but still...

    I like the horizontal layout as well, and the icons are a nice effect.

    The loan side of the transfer market is a bit messed up at the moment. They are working on it. Maybe try again later in the transfer window, if he's not loaned out to another club, a lot of time the prices will come down to something within the realm of plausibility. Jellico

    Hi Michael, Appreciate the answer. I agree that the system is a complex one, and to be honest that's one of the reasons some of the examples I gave stood out. More than happy to help, and thanks for the update. Jellico
  22. Jellico73
    Previous numbers maybe? Or maybe if you get more games televised that will go up? It's been a minute since I played in Spain...
  23. Jellico73
    Transfer wise I think that's correct, they aren't looking to sell them unless they get a very good offer, and even with a very good offer it might not go through because the player doesn't want to leave.

    This came about as an issue with one save, but I have noticed it in my others as well. The following is from a previous thread. I am playing Santa Clara in Portugal. Promoted from the 2nd Division, I haver the smallest transfer budget in the League, and the smallest payroll budget. My Finances are shaky, I get 10% of my transfers, and my transfer budget is 203K. Of my 78K payroll allowance, I am spending 73K. Scouting wise I am spending 1.7K a month scouting Portugal, I have a Chief Scout and a Scout. I can't form a B Team or a U19 team because I do not have the payroll available to hire coaches. I have 1.9 million in the bank, This is Giorgi Abuashvili. A Georgian International listed by Porto for loan, he is currently on the B squad. Last season he spent 10 months in le Havre at 1.2K a month. And their finances are a lot better than ours. On my squad, which is not the strongest by a long shot, he is a 4 star player. I can buy him outright for 8 million if I had it, 5.5 up front, 3.1 in payments and another 1.1 after 10 international appearances. This is what they want for him loan wise: How is this a legitimate offer? My Balance right now is 1.9 mil. Getting him would cost me (135*10) x (2400*40) is 1.35M + 96K is 1.446M, which is 75% of my available money. I don't know what sort of accountants Porto has, but if they are looking at my finances and are assuming I can absorb this cost, I don't want them anywhere near my income tax returns. Now, I am currently playing Saint Etienne, it is January of 2024, and there's strange things afoot with the loan Market. It's not broken per se, but some of the decision making by the AI seems to be....questionable. I have uploaded a save, it is ASSE - Start Of Transfer 2024 Window - Jellico.fm All of the following players are at least 2 star current, 4 star potential players. I apologize for the wall of text. Almost All of these players have been listed since the start of the season, and these are the minimums each team is willing to accept. Hampus Findell No Games played. 59K a month, 100% salary and 3.6M optional? Hugo Ekitike. Was a part time starter last season. Initial offer is 175K/350K a month, 70%/100% of salary (25.5K), and 42M Optional fee, for a player they bought last season for 28.5M? Simone Ghidotti. Opposite end of the spectrum maybe. 2.9K a month, full salary (11K) and a 130K future option. Rodrigo Riquelme. Middle of Road. 47.5K A month, 100% of 6.7K salary, 2.8 Optional future fee for a starter. Bright Arrey Mbi. 69K a month/ only asking 20% salary, 5.75 M Optional. Pape Sarr. 175K/350K Month, 80/100 salary split, 34M Optional Fee. Luca Moro. 155K/300K month. 100 salary, 9.25M optional Fee. Eric Dina Ebibme. 105/210K Month, 100% salary, 9.75M Optional fee, 2 bench appearences this season. Doron Leidner 88/175K Monthly, 80/100 salary split, 5.25 Optional Fee Mounir Chouiar. 52K Monthly, 100% salary, 4.1M Mandatory fee, 15 starts, 3 goals, 1 assist, 1 POM this season. Or they want 8.25M for a txfr. Awad Al-Nishiri. 24.5K/49K Monthly, 20/50 salary split, 10.75M optional fee. 8 Starts 2 goals Lucas Munoz, the striker. 34/68 Monthly, 70/100 salary. 2.8 Optional fee, never played a game for the team he is on at the moment.... Elias Britez. 10.5K/21k monthly., 100% salary, 625K Optional fee, Has never played a league game in 7 years, is currently on the 16th ranked team in 2nd Division Argentina? Marquinhos 175K/350K, 60/90 salary, 22M optional Sala Oulad M'Hand 175K/250K, 80/100 monthly, 16.75M Optional. Jake Batty 175K/350K Monthly, 80/100 salary, 21.5 M optional, part time starter for relegation Zone Blackburn Rob Apter 53K/100K Monthly. 80/100 salary, 3.2 M Optional. A mediocre starter for the 20th place team in the Championship? Erik Shurvanov 95/190K Monthly, 100% salary, 2.7 Mandatory fee for a Bundeliga 2 player. Junior Bita 34/68K, 100% salary, 2M optional fee, 12 career games Giuliano Simeone, 66/130K Monthly, 100% salaray (20K), 4M optional Fee, Mads Bistrup 300K/600K Monthly, 100% of 20.5K salary, no starts this season, contract expiring in 6 months. Txfr would be 5.25 up, going to 10. Amidou Diop 33/66K, 100% of salary, 2M optional fee, career 7 games. El Bilal Toure. 300/575K Monthly, 100% salary (5k), 8.25 Mandatory fee. 1 Goal in last 34 games... Adam Idah. 350K/700K, 100% of 22K salary, 9.75M Mandatory fee. 11 goals in 75 games on a Championship Club... Wahid Fahgir. 950K/1.9M MONTHLY, 100% of 21.5K salary, 27M Mandatory fee. I had him in a previous save, he topped out at 150PA. Is 150 PA worth 950K monthly? Would these num,ber come down If I had fully scouted him? Aziz Ouattara 375/7650K Monthly, 1005 of 4.2K salary, 14.25 optional fee, 38 first team starts in 3 years. He's 4 years older and maybe a little better than Junior Bita, but 300K a month better? Ayman Aiki 125K/250K Monthly, 80/100 salary of 8250, 7.5M Optional fee. 4 Career starts I just sold him to Brentford for 1.3 Mil...if I had kept him and tried loaning him out for those numbers would anyone have signed him? Nicolo Amadori 43.5/87K monthly, 100% of 2500 Weekly, Mandatory 4.5M fee. Rob Apter 53K/100K Monthly. 80/100 salary, 3.2 M Optional. A mediocre starter for the 20th place team in the Championship? Now, maybe it's the size of my database causing such discrepancies, (All the leagues and ~450K+ Players) I am sure there are players out there I probably haven't scouted that are just as good as the players I have listed and I can get the in for much less. Like I said in the thread title though, some of these numbers just do not pass the 'Blink' Test in my opinion. I understand paying more for a Premium player, but Fahgir and VFB Stuttgart are currently in 17th place. Meanwhile Salzburg wants 215K/425K monthly, 2K weekly and an optional 12.75 future fee for Karim Konate, and City want 175k/350K Monthly, an 80/100 weekly salary split from 11,500 and an optional 33M fee for McAtee. And I remember from that same previous save Faghir, Konate and McAtee are pretty similar in terms of CA/PA. So why is Faghir going for 4x the asking price of the others? Apter for that much money? Bilal Toure? Jake Batty? From what I can tell it's not player reputation, or team, or league, but I will also admit my knowledge of how the loan market works is a best a powerpoint slide deep. If these were all 17-20 year old 2 star current 5 star potential players, I can see some of the numbers being within the realm of reason. Or maybe the loan market isn't supposed to make sense and it's working as intended. I have a hard time believing that when a player who was loaned out for 1.2K a month last season is now going for 135/275K a month...but stranger things have happened in Finance and economics. Thanks for looking, Jellico

    Can always try the in contract negotiation, set a transfer fee pretty high, and if they balk lower it?
