Yup, £200m to spend with a mid table Prem team.
Going with a 343 - need some advice on a left sided BPD with pace, got Kounde from Seville, Weigl as Libero, so need the 3rd to round it off. A few deals about to go through, but some help filling the gaps:
Pope
Kounde Wiegl ???
???WBR Digne
Ruben Neves Willock
Zivkovic Saint Maximin
Calvert-Lewin
That right winger is bugging me too - ideally want someone more central as a goal threat, but Isco says no, Coutinho says no and my scouts aren’t finding anything.
Would be really interested to see your transfer ins and outs if you don’t mind sharing?
Were many of the ins spread over instalments or just up front?
Thank you!

Sao Paulo and Santos might be worth looking at. Vitoria in the 2nd tier if you want a harder challenge.
Thank you!

Is it not because you now can't sign non-UK players under the age of 18 in the UK?

I am thinking about going on a Brazilian adventure. Can anyone recommend a team in Brazil with the most exciting bunch of youngsters?
Thank you!

These are fantastic. Thank you for sending them through.
I would be really interested to know the method of how you discovered if you wouldn't mind sharing?
Thank you.

No idea, Palace came in for him. Asked for £10m, they came back with £7.5m. I think he has decent potential to be honest.
Wowzer. I could get £400k + 30% future fee. Did you give him a new contract and a few run outs?

How long is the Chelsea ban till? Is it the full season?
Can't seem to even sign anybody for the future just now.
Will it be lifted in January or will I have to wait till summer time to buy players (or buy in advance for the summer)
My understanding is that it gets lifted on 1st Feb so you can arrange transfers for the summer after this date. Before that date, you can't bid on anyone.

How did you sell Lamptey for £7.5m?

When can you offer extensions to the over 30 players? I started a save on the beta and was looking to extend Willian but could only give him a wage increase with no extension around November time.
I sold Pedro for £30m to United which, when i start the game in the full release, I am not sure if I will try to do or not. It was decent money (as opposed to letting him go for free at the end of the season) but left us short. I didn't have any injuries and Mount/Barkley can cover there in an emergency. Thinking something similar for Giroud as well.

Arvin Appiah - exciting pacy youngster from Forest who seems to have some good potential. Has anyone else managed him? He scored on his cup debut as well.
I bought Appiah on my Norwich save in January of the first season. I had him training with the first team immediately when he joined. When i had tied up promotion, i gave him 3 sub appearance and a start on the final day. Scored 4 goals (2 from the bench, 2 in his start) in 4 appearance which i wasn't expecting.

Speaking to all of the people in here who have done long term saves with Ajax is it possible to do a long term save and just youth players, so when a player goes have you got players decent enough to fill their positions or is investment needed.
I was thinking about doing something similar and starting a save predominately developing youth players but less restrictive so that I could sign:
- Dutch players
- Anyone who has previously played for Ajax

How highly do you rate Jan Oblak, looking for a quality replacement for the retiring Buffon in my PSG save, think he has a 110m buyout clause is he worth it?
Highly recommend. He is obscene. 110m is of course a lot of money but PSG have the finances.
This is a personal preference and has no relevance but I quite like having a world class player from a smaller footballing nation. I have thoughts of millions of Slovenians tuning in to watching Atleti play.

Ok I am at home right now and I checked how is it in 2024 but I started the game in November so it might be different after winter update of attributes etc
Milan Skriniar from Inter he is playing at Real Madrid on my save now
Thank you! Skriniar is at Barcelona now as they sold Umiti to Chelsea. It has been a bit of a Merry go round for CBs this transfer window!

Will check him out when i get home!

Dayot Upamecano?
Thanks. He has a £70m release clause but might just be out of range at the moment. I'll have a look as i might be able to unsettle.
I am also looking at Leo Santos from COR in Brazil. I can get him for about £25m and looks like he has great potential. Have anyone used him before?

Sociedad ended up 1 place above the relegation zone on my save and I was looking to buy Oyarazbal if they went down!
Can anyone recommend an elite level young CD for Atletico? De Ligt choose United over me, Maresic did the same for Arsenal. PSG have unfortunately met Godin's release clause and he has left and he will be very hard to replace. I also only got 50% of the fee as 50% was owed to someone else. I then only got 30% of the 50% so not much!

Lemar is fantastic. 2nd best average rating behind Godin. 31(4) appearances, 7 goals, 18 assists. He toppped the assist chart for the league.
The defence is fantastic. Godin and Gimenez are just superb and if you do get through Oblak is different class. Conceded 23 which was the best in the league, missed out on the most clean sheets by 1 which went to Barcelona.
I think they are a bad financial state due to the move to the new stadium which should sort itself out eventually!

Started a game recently with Atletico. I wanted something fun that wasn't particularly challenging. I started prior to the January update patch so i have the original squads. Disabled first transfer window so no signings.
I played a flat 4-4-2 with a slightly adapted Gegen-press. Main team was:
SK-D: Oblak
FB-S - Juanfran
CD-D - Godin
BPD-Cover - Gimenez
WB-A - Luis
LW - Lemar
DLP-D - Koke
Mezalla-S - Saul
RIW - Martins
PF-A - Costa
AF - Griezmann
Lucas/Arias/Savic/Rodrigo/Vitolo/Correa also got plenty of games. I signed Luis Fabiano on a free during December and he came in on wages of £500 a week. An odd signing but it was to keep Luis happy as he wanted a fellow compatriot around. He did get a few goals in the cup and is retiring now.
PSG came knocking for Partey in January and the met his release clause of £28.5m. I was unable to offer him a new contract earlier to raise the release clause as PSG were interested and he wouldn't let me start negotiations. He was replaced by Bentacur form Juventus who joined for £22m. Had to spread some of the payments in installments to get the transfer through but he was definitely needed.
I had a very productive season winning the league against Real Madrid at the Wanda with 3 games to go. My season stats were W:32, D:3, L:3. Not in front of the game now but i think I won my first 18 league games until a 0-0 draw at the Bernabeu.
I was slightly disappointing in the CLs as i lost on penalties to Man Utd in the quarters.
Atletico are in a pretty dire financial state and i ended the season with -£78m as my bank balance. I have been given a very sultry £300k transfer budget for the next season. I also only get 30% of my sales. I have just shifted Correa to Barcelona for £60m (£50m up front, £10m in 1 additional 12 month payment). That added £13m to my budget after San Lorenzo got their cut.
I will probably look to sell on Savic and Vitolo if I can get the right price and then I really need to invest in some depth. I have given extensions at a lower wage to Juanfran & Luis who are old but key members of the squad. It will be an interesting summer as I think I will need to do a lot of wheeling and dealing.
It has been a very enjoyable save though!

Playing as Fiorentina and hoping for some advice on a transfer bid received at the end of season 1 / just before pre-season season 2.
Chelsea originally bid £100m (80 up front, 20 over the next 3 years) for Chiesa. I re-negotiated and they pulled out. I managed to keep Chiesa happy by telling him he was an important influence in the dressing room.
Chelsea have now bid again which is £106m up front and £39m over 3 years so a total of £145m. Would you accept? He is homegrown and my vice-captain so really in two minds. The money would be really useful for the whole squad as i lost some important players when their loans ended (Pjaca, Fernandes).

I've only played about 4 league games so far but won them all. That does include United away and Arsenal at home. I am using this tactic:
Tactic
Main team is:
GK: Mendy
DR: James
DC: Koulibaly
DC: Tiago/Fofana
DL: Chilwell
MC: Enzo
MC: Kovacic
AMC: Mount
AML: Felix
AMR: Pulisic
FC: Kai
It focuses down the left so utilises Felix. My only issue with that is James doesn't get involved as much. Kante, Sterling, Mudryk also played a fair bit. Enzo is a bit wasted as DLP (D) but still does well.
In terms of transfers I only signed Zakharyan, mainly as he usually signs a new deal and the release clause goes up. Loaned out RLC, Badiashile, Broja, Chukwuemeka. I would have kept the last 3 around but the squad is really bloated and the players that I would probably get rid of: Ziyech, Auba etc are unsellable for any value. Hoping to give them bit parts and sell in the summer.
