Sounds tough bro. I just snapped up 2 young argies from lanus and a 17yr old keeper from dynamo for absolute pennies. Regens I'd guess, they look mint already.
My captain's out of contract and playing in my first team, I can't afford to give him a new one. No one wants to buy my ****, so I can't clear wages on adjust the budget. L1 freebies are out of my price range.
Sounds like you need to dip into the Spanishm/Mexican markets mate. Loads of L1 level players youd get for about 3quid and a can of tango.
Ansu fati has 6months left on his contract and wants to leave barca. Offered him 100k a week. Only wanted 98k. Mane understudy..
Oddly enough I got him at Newcastle even though we were rubbish. Finished 11th, got an offer of 38million for Almiron. Sold him and saw Fati on the transfer list for 55m. Halfway through the next season and he's by far my best player but already complaining the rest of the players are shank. Seems to think Shelvey isn't as good as Messi.
You guys get through seasons way faster than I used to. I was fully into FM back in the day, it would be unusual if I got more than 3 games in on a night after work.
The first month or so takes me more time than the rest of the season, sorting out who goes where and working out the formations and tactics I'll use, after that most of my time is spent trawling markets for payers, which I can't really do with 0 funds. Plus PC's have come on a bit, so it doesn't spend ages working out results.
Bargain. That leaves you enough spare cash to sign magic-man Shelvey too. The link up play is top draw and they get on great, honest.
I keep seeing this thread and there’s a bit of my head going ‘buy it, you know you wanna’, as the rest of me says ‘nooooooooo’.
Don't tell anyone but I've actually only got FM20. I feel like at any moment I'm going to be outed like those twats on the Prem board who support non Prem teams.
Im sure one or two on here are still rolling the 2013 version I only got it cos someone told me it was out on the xbox, and tbh I've been waiting years for that last version was the original xbox that was the size of a photo copier and just as loud Ive no need for a desktop so was never gonna get one just to play FM on it tbh. Its no different really to the older ones I used to play on pc just takes a bit of getting used to the interface via a control pad is all. £30 quid no brainer tho
Nah I was doing pretty well. Just ain't got the time to dedicate to it when working 50+ hours a week.
