as the season is almost over and it looks like we are set for 3rd i've done a few attempts and finally managed to holiday an unemployeed save to get a first season table close enough to reflect where we would be at the end of Klopp's reign. going to start a save from this point. just looking opinions now. do we think we would sell Salah & VVD this summer if we got good bids in or are we keeping them? in my save the youth intake has given me 1 top quality midfielder so i can try for a more experienced DM option but i will need a bit of a clear out. i reckon to reduce some numbers as i'm going to change my own tactical outlook from a 433 to a 4231. not sure whether to cash in on MO and buy big (Wirtz/Musiala) or go for a bit more of a project player in Gular

i've stopped trying to get IWB to work for me. wingback or CWB only

finished season 2 - Won the PL and Fa Cup but lost early in the LC to Brighton and then Spurs knocked me out of the CL in the quarters. i was 3-1 in the first leg and had made all my subs and Alison got injured. down to 10 men with no keeper spurs got it back level. then went onto lose the 2nd leg to 2 late goals after being 1 up. we only lost 1 game in the PL as well. so only 3 loses for the whole season and it still felt a bit meh. going into season 3 i'm going to have to make some drastic squad changes if i can. both VVD and MO want to move to saudi teams. have agreed to let them go for 38.5m and 160m. due to selling Robbo for 110m last summer and Gakpo for 70m in jan i had a massive budget of 226m for this summer. ive sold Gravenberch for 60m to Real and with that i've broken my transfer record and bought Bellingham for 273m. its ridiculous money but hes only 22. current squad is GK - Alisson, Kellher, Siemen RB - Trent, Bradley LB - Kerkez, Tsimikas, Chambers CB - VVD, Konate, Gomez, Cubarsi, Yoro & Quansah Mid - Bellingham, Dom, A Mac, bajcetic, Jones, Elliott, endo, Clark Forwards - Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Ferguson, Doak, Danns, Darvich, Martinez I'm planning on selling Tsimikas, endo, clark plus a few reserves (ramsay, Morton) to raise some funds. i dont need to replace VVD as i'm good on numbers but i will have to replace MO. but if i get the full fee for him that should be easy enough. have gotten a couple of promising Regens through in the 2 seasons (AML and a DM) and i've picked up a striker from sunderland who looks a beast for 20m. i would like to move Diaz on but he got annoyed when i offered him out, ive set 120m price on him in the hope of getting a bid and him wanting a move. would like to get Wirtz and Musiala in to replace both

started a new save on the update. finished season 1. won the League, Europa and league cup and lost the fa cup final to Chelsea. trying to keep the squad together as much as possible. and not over do it on the signings. put a couple of the young lads to the higher side of their PA to give me the chance to develop them. have used Qunsah, bradley, Danns & Clark a bit over the season and will bring Doak and Chambers into the first team for the second season. players out in Jan - Jota 75m and Thiago 15m. couldnt turn down the money on offer for both. tried to sell Matip as well but he agreed a free transfer to saudi. Players in - Archie Gray 20m, Siemen 12m, Yoro 5m & David Martinez 1.4m, all done in jan to sign in the summer sales in the summer window so far, Carvalho, VDB, Beck and Andy Robertson (had no plans to sell Robbo but he wouldnt sign a new deal and requested to leave when i refused the first saudi offer. have let him go for 110m which cannot be turned down) Also have agreed with Mo if saudi bid 160m i will agree to a sale. hoping to avoid that as want both him and Virgil for 2-3 seasons if i can

i'll have the window off at the start so with both Matip and Thiago i'll let them run down the contracts to go on free's. will promote Quansah to his plac and push to keep Gomez as 3rd choice CB. i'g put Quansah to his max PA for my start and adjusted Danns a little and give him a PA boost in my new start

i think initially i was selling him on the first few saves after season 1 to bring in younger high PA players but once the update comes in i'll be keeping him for first 2-3 seasons anyway and let Bajcetic develop

really need this update releaased to get my interest back into the game. want to see who gets a boost in the squad. reckon obvious Quansah and Bradley CA+PA boosts and maybe clark with a more settled starting stats instead of so many random ones

have a look at who has Parfundi of Baldanzi and start there.

exactly. like if in 2 years he's turned into an important player i'm happy to pay 300k a week but not if i use him for 4 starts and 16 sub appearances in season 1

yeah its so annoying. so many players wont accept contract unless they are getting big increase after 10games and the another after 20. its unreal. and when you remove that from the contract the wage demand goes up 30-40k

he doesnt play much for them in season 1 or 2 so he can be gotten for under 60m regardless of his PA. he normally will sign for 100k a week but wants increases up to 300k after 15 games

Hato is a definite favourite of mine in this game. really good LB and good CB.

when i start a regular save i can get him to sign a new deal in March 24 and it settles him down but i've set up a save now where klopp leaves on 31/05/24 and i take over then. even tho VVD signed a new deal to 2026 he wants to leave as Saudi's will give him over 1m a week. if i thought i could ignore it and just carry on without issue i would and let him leave on a free after 2 years. but the best i can do is get him to agree that i will let him leave if a bid of 71m is received.

i want Silva to replace VVD and i think i'll look for Musiala to replace mo and probably bring in Gular and David Martinez as well so they can replace Gakpo and Jota in a season. Gular is a sheat code if he hits the high end of his PA but he demands a lot of wages

i've set up a save to have klopp and the coaching team leave on 31/05/2024 and holidayed season 1. liverppol finished 2nd and won the EL. what do people think is fair amounts to look for VVD and Mo in this window. both have saudi club interest and wont sign new deals right now. VVD is definitely going as he has said he wants a new challenge and will only sign for 1.3m a week. his value is 58m but i want 75m with it all upfront and for Mo i've set a 180m price tag but as yet no bids in we got 160m to spend at the start of the window and i also sold Kostas for 48m. so far i've brought in Archie Gray 60m, Ferguson 100m and Callum Doyle for 70m (all with 20-50m of the total feee spread over 3 payments) i want to push a bit more homegrown players into the squad. we also got 1 gem through the youth intake of season 1 for midfield

i dont think i can wait until march to settle on a new save. think bradley needs a bit of a CA bump up as his technicals could be a little better. Quansah maybe a boost to the next PA range

think with the Klopp news i'll get back into a save. will do a brazil start from Feb 2024 and have it set that Jurgen retires after season 1 and take over from him there

hoping that on the next update FM tweak the way the promises work. i've a pain in my **** with Virgil. i start with the first window off so january is the first option for buying selling. every save a saudi club bids and i reject it as its always only around 80m. he moans about waiting to leave (which i dont think would happen IRL) so i agree a set price with him which the club never bids to so no sale happens. then in March i get him to agree a new contract fo stay until 2027 but the promise to sell him remains, WHY?? by signing a new deal you would expect him to be staying and his value to rise, so why would i still agree to a sale after that?

i think with the inverted wingback role now tweaked you can get more out of him in that than by moving him to a 6 or 8 role. with the players in the dquad now you would be overloaded with 8's on FM if you put him there.

think i'll start again. i'll let Thiago, Matip, jota and Kostas go in Jan while their stock is high and i can get good fee's. this should clear up the issue i have trying to trim the squad before season 2.

yeah i know to look for that. i'm not putting players up for more than the low end of the value as i want to clear out the squad but still nothing.

why is it in every save you cannot sell anyone before the second season. cannot get any offers in for players to clear out some of the reserves. even players who has interest in them all the way to the window opening now cannot get any club to make an offer

started a new save over Christmas. just at the end of the first season and i really hate FM when it FM's you. from the start of the season i had tweaked my 433 tactic and it looked brilliant. we went unbeaten in everything and i got to the start of may (LC was won) we had beaten Ajax 5-1 in the first leg of the EL semi's. i should have logged off then as it was late (2am last night) but as the season looked like it could be special i had to keep going. we had the second leg to play and then 3 league games left Chelsea (a), City (h) & Arsenal (a). second leg of the EL shouldve told me what was going to happen. we lost 4-1 to Ajax, while it was enough to get us to the final it was the first red dot on our schedule. we then went to chelsea and won 2-1 with a late winner and then City came to anfield and we hammered then 5-0. so we go to arsenal unbeaten in the league 37 games, 33 wins 4 draws. invincible season loading. we score first and then it all goes to ****, martinelli who i will now hate forever for no reason other than a hattrick to stop me having an unbeaten season. we lose 3-1 and i officially hate FM still have to play Leverkusen in the EL final and then Spurs in the FA Cup but had to turn it off before i played those.

make sure you have affiliate clubs. other option is the cheat option. save the game constantly in march and wait for the intake. do a reload until you get a top intake

at the start of season 2, just beat unit in the CS and about to play Barca in the Super Cup. after getting both Mo and Virg to sign deals to 2027 near the end of season 1 i thought i'd have a clear summer from the saudi clubs bt they have targeted Robbo now. he wants to move and wont stay for less than 800k a week!! so i've agreed a fee with Robbo for 131m but none of the club will bid over 80m so i'm not accepting. i've brought in Colwill 101m, Jorell Hato 50m and Ferguson 59m to add to the deals i had set up for the summer. squad is quite big again but have a good few going on loan and think i will be able to do the same next season while i ease a few out of the squad.
