RunningCloud Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 It's the start of the 2016-17 season for Billericay in the Blue Square South. As usual, there's lots of red ink on the balance sheet. The most the club can earn from a friendly is $35,000. Most clubs that can produce this gate, if they will even accept a friendly, want a big piece of the action. But I have found a continental second-division club that will visit for $0, leaving me with the full take. They will also accept endless friendlies. I have them booked for six matches this preseason. I'm not going to name these patsies -- at least right now. Has anybody found similar suckers? I've tried about a dozen other Euro clubs but have found no other $0 takers. My suckers are on page one of the "all" screen in the arrange-friendly setup. If others have found similar goldmines, perhaps we can trade club names. Or have I lucked onto a glitch in FM2009?

dafuge Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I think it is a bit of a glitch. It might be harsh to call it a cheat but it is certainly exploiting an area of the game that doesn't work very well. Personally I always leave the arranging of friendlies to my assistant, he usually does a decent job and occasionally gets a money spinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningCloud Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've rationalized this by thinking that if a club wants to accept an invitation to play a friendly for free, I'll make the offer -- and feel a bit sheepish. I've never left friendlies to my assistant. greenwhitearmy: go to the "all" screen and start inviting teams, starting with the first one listed. You won't have to go very far down the list to find the team -- if the "glitch" exists in your game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieshaun Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I found that hosting a friendly league competition with three championship teams brought me £150,000 which dragged me out of debt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningCloud Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 found them 1860 munich if anyoen wants to know beat them 2-1 with a bss side lol Yes, 1860 are not only bankable but they are beatable. They couldn't be easier to find. I haven't done an extensive search, but I haven't found any other clubs that will visit for free and produce a maximum gate. Perhaps the game developers made them a gift for lower league managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
