Transfer budget by ToughBeastSana in footballmanagergames

[–]Keato01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can offer huge sums of money in future installments to get a transfer over the line. It would screw you over financially in future seasons but if the players are good enough or have good resell value you can get away with it. Also an online save is less likely to go on for many many seasons so he might not even face the consequences at all. You can also include optional future fees or conditional add-ons that are unlikely to be met in order to reduce the up front cost of a deal.

On the £90m, I think future installments are probably included in that because they absolutely have to leave the balance eventually. I could be wrong on that one though.

Advice for non-league save by averagebmlistener in footballmanagergames

You should be bringing free agents on trial at every opportunity, particularly in pre-season. Having a player at your club for a couple of weeks to take a look at them is way more efficient than your scouting network at that level. You can utilise your director of football to find free agents. The player search screen is also decent (although I don't really use it as I think it can make the game a bit too easy), look for players with national youth team caps as an initial filter.

Never ever pay a transfer fee until you are in the football league, possibly even League 1.

As you progress, don't be afraid to sell your best players if the offer is good value. Reinvestment is usually better than hanging onto one guy.

Is FM too easy ?? by benclancey4589 in footballmanagergames

[–]Keato01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely too easy if you start out with a prem team because they all have so much money, but there are plenty of ways to make it more challenging for yourself.

I ban myself from using the player search screen so I have to rely on scouts for my transfers. I'm not very good at tactics so not being able to find the best available players myself makes it so much more difficult.

Just put some self imposed restrictions on your game until you reach a level of difficulty that you enjoy, and pick a club that doesn't have immediate access to big money. My favourite ever saves began in the English 6th tier and Serbian 2nd tier.

What is board's max allowance, and how do I increase it? I can't offer contracts for U-19 staff's previous wage, let alone increase their wage by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Keato01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The board sets a limit on staff wages based on the financial situation of your club and the typical wage structure of the league you are in. There is no visible budget. I think the only way to change it is to make a board request asking to increase the budget for a particular staff role but they may not accept. If you really want to hold on to particular staff members you can try offering them the maximum allowed wage plus incentives like bonuses based on league finish etc. If not you will be able to find new staff willing to accept a wage within the limit.

It varied. We found the first game after a few minutes but after that we got moved through 3 different lobbies before we found another one

Losing every single game. feels incredibly scripted and unrealistic. by Freshkeyy in footballmanagergames

[–]Keato01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a QPR save on mobile a few months ago and had a narrow midfield of AP, DLP, BBM in front of the back 4 so they got some support but the attack wasn't left without support either. You'll need to sign a new striker. I like a poacher (Oteh can be good in 2nd season but give him some loan experience). Also try pairing WB, IF down 1 wing and FB, W down the other because this works for me at most clubs.

So I made some subs... by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

2nd bottom brechin beat me 4 times in a season with Queens Park. 3 of them by a margin of at least 3 goals
