It's Phil Jones, I sign him on free transfer in January while he had 6months left of his contract and he join me after the season and now is in my club for like 6 months so he doesn't have big influence and played maybe like less than 5 games I am signing players like that with good value to sell them quickly or loan them, not sure why I accept so high salary it's first player that I have problem with salary while moving to another club so now I will know, I am still learning since I didn't play since like 2012 and even then I was more like Fifa Manager player

Now with option to offer to clubs will be easier probably have more incoming offers than before, because before probably I was targeting clubs that are interested...

 

 

Is there a way to speed up negotiations (like I want the answer right away- take it or leave it) ? and players to talk about contract with club that want to buy him ?

Usually the better the offer the less time they spend deliberating.

True that but you can also offer a 12 hour deadline when you offer or they offer. But you gotta remember that issuing deadlines the interested team might either choose to neglect it or might not even have the money till that time to make an offer sufficient enough to acquire the player.

 

EDIT: So you gotta be lenient and allow some flexibility

I meant when I put him to reserve team I was hoping his morale will decrease a lot but it's still good but he is worried about future so I wonder if he will go to another club and agree to earn less there just to leave my club ?

You don't know that for sure, he could decide to see out his contract and make you pay him even if he doesn't play. There are players like that unprofessional and outspoken enough to destroy the team mentality as well. So try not to do that in the future. Your first step should always be to threaten and then and only then depending on his answer, can you decide to punish him. Maybe he will cooperate at the beginning without you having to place him on the reserves, but also act like i said at the beginning and you don't want that trust me...

I think it will work, got some clubs interested...almost loaned 1 player but he refused to move permanently and they changed future fee to optional from mandatory so I canceled it... but other ones are talking about contract, and I think now I will manage loan players too, easier than before.. one of them have high salary like 465k euro /month so I moved him to reserve team to lower morale and get him to leave I wonder if it will work, any ideas how to make player move without affecting 1st team?

Threaten him from the start that you will put him on a transfer/loan list if his wage demands/attitude/performance doesn't change. Putting him immediately without informing him with him getting mad in the process was the only thing that was gonna happen.

Thanks for the clarification... however it doesn't really work very well then, since Mbappe has insane attributes across the board, especially as a winger, yet he has like a 60% colour marker for his Winger role. He's a Natural in both RW and ST, and yet no role in the RW position is suitable... despite training specifically for the Winger role for the last 3-4 years, he's made no progress at all.

 

Edit: To clarify what I mean...
You can find a Natural RWer with the Winger role listed as 100% effectiveness, yet their attributes can be far inferior than Mbappe's attributes, so how is that the other player is considered 100% effective, and Mbappe isn't?

What wing do you retrain mbappe on? If you trying to retrain him on a wing opposite to his preferred foot ofcourse he is not gonna gain anything. Wingers need to be on their preferred foots flank not the opposite. Also is he versatile enough to be retrained there?

If you've an example of this working in what you consider to be an unrealistic fashion please do open up a post in a our bug forum and I'll take a look 

I do have a player right now that im retraining to mc(he is an amc natural) but he is at the process of becoming natural. So not there yet. I had 3 instances in fm18 where players were losing proficiency of the position(not in 2 weeks like in the persons case above but in like a month) even though i was playing them sparingly in that position(25%~ of games). And this mention sparked fear of the same happening with this version. I will let you know.

 

EDIT: Adding the player is 18 years old, versatile, star player and the difference between the 2 positions would probably be that his natural position(amc) is closer to goal than mc is. I have also played him in 25 games across 2 seasons in the position i currently retrain him at. So all in all there shouldn't be a problem.

Learned positions can be lost over time if not trained/played.

Yes but not in a matter of weeks like the other fella above supports. It should be months to year cuz it actually takes months to retrain a player. It doesn't feel rewarding this way. Do note though i'm not saying to stop playing the player in that position after he becomes natural to it, cuz then what would be the point.

What i'm saying is, we shouldn't have to play him more than what's needed(sparingly or even often) just enough to maintain it. Let's not forget the whole point of retraining him is to have more options, not just to have a player than can play in a different position.

 

Can you look into it and get back to us? If it is so, maybe you guys should consider what i said about the duration.

I know thanks

 

I will try this evening when I get home to offer than to clubs that I will choose I wonder if someone will pick up an interest

Good. Let me know how this goes. Im sure there are other options as well. But i don't know the details of your case so i can't speculate.

Yea but sometimes it's better to have less money than to have more but pays salary for like 3 years left etc I always calculate how much I will have pay until the end of the contract and if it's worth it

Do what you want. We don't dictate how you play so that's irrelevant to me. You asked how to sell players and we answered.

I've had little success retraining players to new positions, but I frequently play a central midfielder as a fullback.  His attributes are perfect for a fullback and he routinely gets 7s and above so I don't really know why I should bother.

You should bother, cuz any time he wants he might become unhappy by being played out of position especially if he is not professional enough. But the ratings and form and the happiness that comes with help your case.

So on that screenshot you were able to offer player to club that is not even interested because there is like 0 bids made and 0 clubs interested

You can target any club you want even if its not interested. Btw @gossy7 excellent advice dude. That's how i usually sell most of the unwanted players. @LukasZ_VCF follow that advice above by offering to participate in a percentage of the players wage demands. Some players even demand you to do that in order to leave your club and go somewhere else. If that doesn't work then think this through well, and try to decide which of the options you have will entice not only him to leave but also another club to bid for him.
