[Solius]

You only have 44m in your Owner funds

 

[Solius]

I'll take it out your bank balance

 

[SilentWitness]

Cheers. May as well go balls deep now we are near the end.

 

[sebsheep]

I feel like we recently sold Ferrari because he rarely played for us.

[Solius]

Early table peek

 

[SilentWitness]

Kompany.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Endrick Baby!!!!!

And does it matter nationality etc or will you force the player to sign for us that we choose?

So let’s say I chose Endrick and he was in our range would he sign automatically?

That opens up so many players then.

Are Endrick and Estevao in our range?

Yep!

@The Cat WE GO FOR IT!

Oh wait shit sorry, Endrick is out of range. Estevao is in range.

I looked at Endrick but thought it wouldn't be allowed. Let's make a target list tonight but he'll be on it for sure.

Edit - not surprised but gives us way more possibilities now assuming Work Permits will be fine.

Nypan
Estevao
Endrick
Nwaneri
Lorran
Archie Gray
Shea Lacey

Seriously @The Cat so many really young talents we could get

Nypan - In range
Estevao - In range
Endrick - Not in your range
Nwaneri - In range
Lorran - In range
Archie Gray - In range
Shea Lacey - In range

Also @Solius are any of the following in our range?

Endrick
Ferguson
Wirtz
Musiala
Zaire Emery?

Our range is gonna suffer by buying the last 2 kids will take time but someone like Moukoko will help that I would think.

Would be interesting if Endrick is in range.

Would imagine Ferguson is out of range.

I think if Endrick is in range we just go all out for him as he’s guaranteed world class. If not Moukoko for the promotion and then CB next season so we don’t get spanked every week?

Endrick - out of range
Ferguson - out of range
Wirtz - out of range
Musiala - out of range
Zaire Emery? - out of range

Thank you! We’ll sign Moukoko please

@Solius are any of the following in our range?

Endrick
Ferguson
Wirtz
Musiala
Zaire Emery?

All out of range.

I’m really in two minds as to who to try and sign next.

I really really want Endrick

We'll check with Solius next Summer window see if he is in range.

And cash in on Cashin

Ok @BenitoSTARR doesn't seem to be around at the moment so I'm going for

Sell:

Cashin CB 235k You can make your own cash in joke.
Norrington-Davies D LC WB 54k
Reed CM 30k
Omur AM R/C 55K

Add 50m to the existing transfer budget.

Add 1m to the existing wage budget.

Keep Moore

Add 50m to BB

As far as player to buy goes I'd like @BenitoSTARR to get the chance to have a look there, can also change any of the above. Let me know if time becomes an issue and I'll pick someone.

By the way is Endrick still out of range?

Cheers.

Cashin - 14.7m
Norrington-Davies - free
Reed - free
Omur - 2.9m

After that your budget has changed to reflect that. Do you still want to add the budget monies?

BB TB

£101,678,642

£66,393,000

Endrick still out of range. I'll add a future transfer for Moore.

@Solius are any of the following in our range?

Endrick
Ferguson
Højlund
Wirtz
Musiala
Zaire Emery?

All out of range.

Moukoko has 13+ xG with a very young attack around him. So he’s got one more season to prove he can be the main man or we bring in Hojlund, Ferguson or Endrick.

*laughs in CA*

How high is he right now?

What does CA even go up to? I don’t play FM so I’m a bit out of it

It's out of 200. Endrick is in the 190s

Ah so we’re unlikely to ever sign Endrick then?

You would need to find a player who can reach 5 CA below Endrick's level.

So it's like that guy that kept trading up from a paperclip to a house, you might get there eventually.

In theory can anyone in our squad do that though?

I now don’t even care if we win anything #Endrickorbust

You have some players with higher potential than your current CA limit but it will be difficult yeah. I'd give up on Endrick!

This is what you saying that felt like:

Nobody can get him if that helps

I think he cropped up on someone's list very early on but they went for someone else, now he's gone forever.

Absolute idiots if they dithered on that.

I don’t care if you already had a striker just sign him.

I probably should have asked this about 8 seasons ago but thank you

Right are any of the following in range:

Zaire Emery
Balde (LB)
Nico Williams
Pedri
Sarr
Bellingham
Wharton
Udogie
Lukeba
Endrick
Owusu-Oduro?

Right are any of the following in range:

Zaire Emery - 133.5m
Balde (LB) - 178m
Nico Williams - 156.50m
Pedri - 102m
Sarr - 242m
Bellingham - Not in range
Wharton - 126.5m
Udogie - 152.5m
Lukeba - 202.5m
Endrick - Not in range
Owusu-Oduro? - 1m


Mikey Moore's CA is being a very big help to you now.

@The Cat sell some players to get someone on that list?

Also @Solius we must be close to Endrick now?

Not yet. You won't reach it with Moore's current potential. I think he's too far gone. You'd need a worldie regen to then reach close to Endrick's CA.

Even then he'd cost 250m

Is he just the best player now?

Mbappe - Haaland - Endrick the top 3. There's a 4th who everyone could've gotten when he was in range but now he's way out.

Damn is Endrick in range?

No

Are we close yet?

Closer than before

Close enough to be realistic in the near future?

Can't say

@Solius where is Evan Ferguson?

Also can we get Endrick or Kompany now?

No and no.

Feck move on then

Can we get Endrick now?

I'll let you know in a week.

Oooooh

haha I don;t think we will ever get him

You need a player with CA close to him, so you'd need to find a regen who can reach 190ish and then get Endrick.

One team can get Endrick, and know it, but they chose not to.

Endrick then….

Can we see the Real Madrid squad please?

out of range

Bellingham out too?

He is in range. 197.5m

Then you know what I want daddy.

Bellingham might make it possible to buy Endrick

Someone else has also gone for Bellingham, so you'll need to up from 197.5m

Well go £250m

@The Cat Bellingham is probably the best goalscoring/assisting midfielder we can buy.

Im happy to go silly for him.

I guess we are possibly approaching the tail end of this experiment so why not?

@The Cat

@Solius will go higher if needed

They've also gone 250m

£280m

Ok will take that to the other bidder.

300m

320m

330m is the jude bid now

350

I am so glad this is Solius' money

370m

£400m

I'm in hiding.

If we don’t win something big next season we’ll just sell him.

Even if we do win we might need to sell him s

425m

435m

Just fyi you are close to your max in terms of what you have left in your bank balance, owner funds, etc

I’m aware.

You’ve lost your damn mind

Yeah tomorrow.

If the other team pull out you are obliged to buy Bellingham for 435m though.

We win the PL and CL next season and will it matter?

Maybe not.

Buy Bellignham = Win the League and CL = Game Over

If we don’t win the PL and CL next season with Bellingham we just sell him and Pedri and rebuild.

Wingers don’t need replacing for 5 years+ defence is fine too for a while.

It’s a big move but he’s probably the best player we can get I’m guessing @Solius?

Congrats! You’ve won Bellingham for £435m

: What a stupid move

Ok if we go to the wall it's on you

Privately I will accept all blame but publicly I’m blaming your “new co owner”

@Solius so Endrick then?

That's always been your endgame we will have to sell a few

Endrick is in range for you at last!

He costs £242.5m

The gang buys Endrick!!!

I’ve always loved you @Solius my favourite staff member

Yeah and for him I don’t mind

To be fair that last Bellingham got us nearly winning the PL and CL so I think it was a big risk but close to being pulled off.

Can we just buy him solius. All the moneys to him. And see where that puts us money wise?

You have £167m in the BB and £89m in the TB. So that's £256m without sales.

Leaves you with 13m in the BB.

£13m is fine right? @The Cat

This is ok actually more realistic - what's the point of squirreling 1b away?

Exactly I hate to spoil this for others but the money isn’t real. The memories we make with it are.

We’re getting Endrick so the game is complete now.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Don’t even care about trophies. We did it @The Cat paperclip to Endrick complete!

 

[Solius]

It’s been a long courtship

 

[altodevil]

fecking hell poor solius

 

[BenitoSTARR]

It’s been a long courtship

fecking hell poor solius

 

[The Cat]

fecking hell poor solius

He's cut half of it.

 

[BD]

Endrick Baby!!!!!

fecking hell poor solius

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Never let anyone tell you your dreams are impossible.

We got Endrick to Derby.

 

[Solius]

27th December 2035

The cosy top 4 is back! A substantial gap between 4th and 5th now. You're like 800m runners grouping together before one breaks off from the pack. Will it be Derby or will they feck it up again?

 

[Solius]

Bolton vs Sunderland in the Carabao Semi. Other two knocked out.

 

[Solius]

Europe looking good for you all so far.

 

[Solius]

Some new names on the top stats this year. Wilbur was an AI signing for Sunderland too.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

I really would love to win either the PL or CL this season. You can all see @The Cat and I have put in the graft to construct the team.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Some new names on the top stats this year. Wilbur was an AI signing for Sunderland too.

Do they use a random face and hair generator for those players?

 

[Solius]

Do they use a random face and hair generator for those players?

I have an AI facepack and I use FMRTE to map it to all newgens.

 

[SilentWitness]

Kompany. Do it for the big heads.

 

[Solius]

Moving onto Jan! Sheffield Utd lemme know if you wanna upgrade to 100k stadium.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

I have an AI facepack and I use FMRTE to map it to all newgens.

Ahh so it’s not a standard feature?

I wondered how you got so much control over everything does FMRTE only work on PC?

Im this close to getting a half decent laptop just for this (but if my wife asks it’s for work)

Yeah only on PC as far as I know. I use the in-game editor for most of it but Future Transfers and facepack stuff needs to be on on FMRTE.

 

[altodevil]

City relegated? Liverpool flirting with it.

 

[Solius]

Winter Transfers

Sheff Utd: Bought a couple of youngsters but nothing notable. Sold Pavel Bedretdinov for £59m to Madrid.

Sunderland: Signed Arnold Gjyla for 52m. He's a 28yo CB.

Derby: No business

Bolton: Sold Rainey Breinburg for 17.5m. No real notable buys except Andy Mandanda a 19yo ST from Arsenal for 9.25m

Jamie Vardy is the Al-Ahli manager in case anyone was interested.
