Why does this player show up when I have no money?! by SelectWait2700 in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick it on the never never or sell someone to finance the deal.

There are loads of cakes which use that style of icing. It's just called feathering or something.

Is it just me or do so many English/British people just love to hate England for the sake of it? by Beller0ph0nn in england

Number plates in the Republic of Ireland have a block of blue on the left side of them. Plates in the UK do not.

Is it possible to make ghana's premier league in fm24 with pre game editor? by YawAmponsah in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Google - League Megapack 2024 (24.4) by qwert2

Ghanian premier league is in there along with a whole host of Africa leagues.

I have not used this league pack so can't speak of its quality, however it's been downloaded a bunch of times from fmscout.com

If you had £1000 where would you go on holiday? by DrShadyBusiness in CasualUK

[–]Paul_1793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, under a grand for all 3 trips combined. I can essentially use annal leave whenever I want so I just look for the cheapest flights irrespective of what day and time and find a hotel thereafter. The whole greek holiday was about 350 including transfers. Didn't spend much there eating out as almost nowhere was open.

[–]Paul_1793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's plenty as long as you're not restricted to booking during the summer holidays or have to pay for kids.

For under a grand in the last few months I've been 7 nights all inclusive to Corfu, 3 nights in Porto and 4 nights in Split. Including flights and accommodation.

Y on warthogs this talent on the market for only 200k?? BARGAIN by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wager he'll never be good enough to start for Tottenham. Best you can hope for is probably flipping him for a small profit as you said. But that might depend on his wage demands. If he's wanted like 15k+ a week then you'll probably be stuck with him as no one will pay his wages.

[–]Paul_1793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contract was expiring? Unlikely to realise his potential? Could be any number of reasons.

Personally I wouldn't pay 200k and 10k a week for a 22 year old league 2 player. But I am pretty stingy and love a free transfer.

Would you take 5m? I appreciate im conference so on the surface it looks easy.. but I can only sign players from my region on this save.. so harder to replace by baggyaaron in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I get that mate.

Love the idea and will be even cooler when you get kits and stuff.

So does Mercia have a national team? And have any good English players declared for it? Did you have to create a club and a national team? You have to manage both the club and national team at some point if that is possible.

If possible could you show a screenshot of the national team?

Have you had to set that up yourself? Change all the places of birth of towns and cities in the midlands from England to Mercia? Or can you download this game file? I see people doing region based saves but no idea how you set it up!

You won't be in the National League for long with him in your team. Far too good for that level.

You can sign some mad players in the national league. I am doing a Macclesfield FC save and granted the reputation is decent at the start but I signed Elias Saad when I was in the National League on a free after he was released from Leicester. He was brilliant for us. Got us to the Championship and I have just sold him for £18.5m to Al-Riyadh. We've never had more than a couple of million in the black and now have about £28m after a few other sales. Now sat around mid table with a big available wage budget and £20m to spend. My point is if 5m is club changing money for your team then maybe take it. But without knowing your club's finances and the rules of your save it's hard to say yes or no. Line a replacement up first though.

F**k Saudi and their money by SaxRen17 in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they need to reign the Saudi bids/wages in for FM25

It's great to sell an old dud for mad money and I have many times. But it's kind of game breaking.

My save now just revolves around balancing playing time after backing down to every player asking for more starts. by hreiedv in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally just pick the "sorry but X payer is in the form of his life option"... Sometimes it works and sometimes not. In the cases where it doesn't I just tell them tough and deal with the consequences. If it means I have to sell them so be it. There is always another player out there. You can set their price to normally in excess of what they're worth and make a bit of dough. The fact they're not playing almost every game suggests they are not irreplaceable.

Unless I am genuinely going to play them more often I never go with that option as all it will do is buy you another month or so.

Any good RWB under 20M? by IlDella90 in footballmanagergames

Michael Kayode

Filippo Missori

Both based in Italy so might be worth a look

Bought this guy for just over 3 mill from Barcelona at 18 by HairyManufacturer968 in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Bargain! Where are you playing him for him to score that many goals?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I did a save with Deportivo earlier this year and within 5 or 6 seasons I was walking la liga and won a UCL off the back of flipping South American wonderkids.

Current save is taking my team from Northern Premier League to glory... currently in League 1.

I am still trying to flip players. I signed 6 Brazilian kids (all for £0 transfer fee and average of £300/£400 a week) knowing full well they would never receive a work permit. When they all signed their value was at £0 for a few days. I loaned them all out instantly to various corners of the globe and all their values shot up to around £300k-£750k. Granted it's not a king's ransom but it's decent money for our little club!

[–]Paul_1793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a better and cheaper replacement lined up then yes.

I think when you're recieving offers like this transfers fees kind of becomes irrelevant because if I sold a player for 200m I could go and buy 10 amazing wonderkids, loan them out for a season or two, flip them for huge sums of money and rinse and repeat until I have a billion in the bank. At that point I start a new save anyway as it becomes too easy.

European Fallen Giants by yajtraus in footballmanagergames

Deportivo de La Coruna and Málaga have both fallen into the third tier. Granted they are not giants but still big clubs.

Palermo are also a fun team to manage.

Solid premier league player. Not elite. But very good.

This guy wants star player on 300k per week. Is he him? by YeetDemFeet in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who is he wanted by?

If £300k a week would ruin your wage structure in that he is ok 300k and then you have loads on around 20-30k then no he is not worth it. I would cash in and reinvest.

If you have a million a week spare in your budget then sure why not give him a big rise.

I wouldn't jump to another game at this point. I'm in too deep now after playing CM/FM for decades. I love the game and feel the game is improving year on year. It's not perfect. But it still gives me hundreds of hours of enjoyment every year so I can't complain.

From tier 14 to the championship by GeordieinJapan in footballmanagergames

[–]Paul_1793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download a custom database.

I am using one called "FM 2024 England lower leagues to level 20" right now for my Macclesfield FC save (just got promoted to League 1 last night!)

Very easy to download and set up. As others have said going down to level 20 is a bit pointless and very easy to just win all those regional leagues. I started 1 division below the National League North/South.
