jcp1417 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 As a semi pro team, if I have a player that only gets paid for appearances, does u23 or u18 count? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorks Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I don't believe so. Could be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcp1417 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 because i also wonder if the unused sub fee also only applies to those players selected on the match squad. since I can only sub 3 times, i could save some money by only carrying 3 or 4 subs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of that myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkeay Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Top tip - to reduce the cost of Appearance Fees/Unused Substitute Fees, just set them both to £1. I do it for everyone and no player has ever rejected a contract based on this. Whenever I've tried to remove these bonuses completely, they always reject.

In effect, I could have players out there playing for free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkeay Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yeah, give it a go. It's always worked in my experience. It seems like the game is tricked into thinking the fee is higher than £1. As in, the bonus needs to be there in the contract, but it doesn't actually matter what the amount it. Also, make sure you lock the bonus otherwise the agent or player will just keep asking for more.

raymondafc Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I always remove the unused sub clause plus any yearly pay increases with no issues. Will have to try the appearance fee one as well though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcp1417 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 So I don’t think this works anymore. Those fees became a sticking point in a lot of negotiations, especially for non-contract players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
