Gaming FM 17 Club Draft | Final update is out

What should we do transferwise?

  • Allow a fixed maximum number of transfers each summer

  • Let in-game managers make transfer each summer

  • Stick with original squad


Results are only viewable after voting.
:lol: I'm probably the one team you don't need to bribe! For the first few years we'll make Derby County of 07/08 look like Barcelona.

Everyone needs to be bribed ! I want to set personality of my Chairmain to "Shady as Feck" :lol:

I assume you have to give numbers upto 20, does anyone have a guide on how it works? Etc

Attacking: The higher the value, the more offensive the team's mentality, i.e. 1 Contain, 20 Overload

Depth: The higher the value, the deeper the team's defensive line, i.e. 1 Barcelona, 20 Chelsea when Terry plays

Directness: The higher the value, the longer the team's average pass distance, i.e. 1 Pep's Barca, 20 Allardyce's Hammers

*Flamboyancy: The higher the value, the more allowance for creative freedom, 1 van Gaalacticos, 20 Enrique's Barca

*Flexibility: The higher the value the more fluid the team's shape is allowed to be, i.e. 1 Pulis, 20 Dutch Total Football WC '74

*Free Roles: The higher the value the more allowance for roaming player roles, e.g. Inverted Wing Backs, Box-to-Box Mids, Trequartistas, Sweepers, False 9s etc.

Marking: The higher the value the tighter the marking system, e.g. 1 Wengerball, 20 Can't think of someone enough of a dinosaur to do this

Offside: The higher the value the more likely the team is to deploy an offside trap

Pressing: The higher the value the more allowance the team has to leave defensive positions and press the opposition

Sitting Back: The higher the value the more likely the team is to sit back when holding a favourable result, i.e. 20 Mourinho, 1 Rodgers

Tempo: The higher the value the higher the tempo the team plays at, i.e. 1 van Gaalacticos, 20 Jurgen's Dortmund '10-13

Use of Playmaker: The higher the value the more likely the team is to centralise play around a designated playmaker

Width: The higher the value the more width the team will play with, so 1 Narrow, 20 Wide.
*not sure


They are ballpark values that the club uses to hire new managers, and for philosophies (expecting entertaining football, attacking football, good defence etc.)
