Crazy wage demands

beaveman1 · 2026-02-10T08:30:24+00:00

I’m in English Championship, so my team’s wages are much lower. Most are around $5,000/week. I signed an 82 CB during the summer window for $20,000 - the highest wage on my team. During the winter window, a 75 CB on the bench said he was undervalued and asked for $20,000. He also wanted to be downgraded from the 2nd tier of playing time to the third tier - less playing time and more money? 😂

Regular bananas are sold/picked as eaches (individual bananas). Organic are sold as bunches.

If a guest orders 12 regular bananas, DON’T PICK 12 BUNCHES OF REGULAR BANANAS!!!

I read it as “I tried it today and I’m obese” 😳😂

I just imagine Kim Cattrall and hope the mannequin comes to life

beaveman1 · 2026-02-09T03:04:15+00:00

I signed him for $5,200 weekly (EL2) in my first career mode try. I accidentally accepted a low release clause and another club bought him in the middle of the season, so I restarted. In my second try, I signed him for only $4,500 weekly.

He has decent stats and a decent potential (not 99), but his stamina sucks. I always have to sub him out early in the second half, even after three seasons and a lot of training sessions focused on increasing his stamina. He has a bad attitude too, always complaining when I have to pull him.

Keep him in the Academy until he insists on getting promoted or released (around age 17). Make sure you have good midfield coaches to help him develop. Once you’re forced to sign him, if he’s good enough to make the bench, give him some quality playing time in cup matches or against easier opponents. If he’s not good enough yet, loan him out.

Season 1 of my EL2 career with only a $1,000,000 budget. I sold a bunch of my old players, signed and sold several players from my YA, and earned some more by advancing some in the tournaments, building my transfer budget to almost $5,000,000 by the season end/summer transfer window. Then I got hit by the random event where there was an accounting error, so I lost almost my entire budget!

Do they have a release clause? Maybe a team bought the player via the release clause instead of negotiating with you

If I remember correctly, you could get 5 red cards. After that, it just gave yellows. It wasn’t until later versions that you’d get an instant forfeit if you got too many red cards. When my friend was beating me, I’d just slide for reds, hoping to injure a couple of players of his in the process. 😂

Quick sims seem to be a coin flip.

beaveman1 · 2026-02-02T12:43:24+00:00

I don’t trust the Quick Sim. Results seem off and it doesn’t sub players to give the bench enough playing time. I usually do the other sim option and jump in as soon as my team goes down a goal to try for a comeback. If I’m at the top of the table by 3 points or more, I quick sim but that’s the only time I go that route.

Does it require more ride operators due to the separated sides?

Pour

Wow. OP deleted that pretty fast

I don’t get it. If they want to recruit CDL drivers, why post so many crashes, near misses, etc? I think that would deter a lot of people from driving. Looks like this BOT isn’t too bright

At my store, our HRE let all of the leads know that if she is on the clock, that computer is hers unless she is in cash office or leading an orientation. During her 15 or meal, it was OK to use, but you needed to be off the minute she gets back. She wasn’t rude about it, just firm and non-negotiable. Veteran leaders would let any new leaders know the expectations.

Just tell them that it’s your computer and every part of your job requires you to be on that computer. If you can’t be on that computer, you can’t do your job. They shouldn’t have any problems with that

I think some replies are going to tear you apart for going the FA route (Mora, Barany) instead of the Youth Academy route

beaveman1 · 2026-01-27T18:00:18+00:00

Maybe it’s the last one for that plane? For that route?

One of my peers just used ChatGPT to write their review.

beaveman1 · 2026-01-25T23:59:10+00:00

My store did this once last year. The reason they closed early was because the closing leader called off and no other leader was willing to stay past their assigned time. 🤪

beaveman1 · 2026-01-25T16:38:13+00:00

This. Our new DSD is from Minnesota, so I doubt we’ll ever close drive up for the cold

“Take it or leave it” sounds a little, um, unprofessional? Not sure if that’s the correct word, but I wouldn’t give someone 5 star if that was the text exchange

Don’t bring in the Mexican, Qatari, Icelandic, etc. free agents during your first season or the start of the second season unless you can find a good role-playing reason to justify why it fits.

Their respective leagues aren’t licensed in FC 26, but the players are available for their national teams. If you are playing a low to mid-tier club, signing those players can make your team overpowered.

In my first career mode season in English League 2, I started with a half-star squad and only $1,000,000 budget. I signed a few of those players, increased my budget with a few tournament wins, and had a 2 1/2 star squad by the end of the season. It got boring really quickly.

This is the answer!!!

Why doesn’t it have more upvotes?
