Cancel your bids and sell the required players and we can move on @Sepukku All of us, even the smaller clubs have adhered to ffp for a long time now. It's only fair.

Yes, please Sepukku just cancel the remaining accepted bids
If Spurs don't win next week and me and Villa get at least a point it's going to be a grand stand finish in the last game 
Please, @Sepukku, all this over those players isn't worth it
And Brighton have been relegated
Then you must be living under a rock. Or perhaps a caveman who likes cheese.
Hear, hear.
I expect a severe punishment.
@christy87 gg. Well fecking done for clearing relegation and now probably securing euro footy.
Its sorted now, he has cancelled all those deals. Think we should move on from this now.
@Damien, I would suggest sending out a gameworld message so that everyone is aware of the FFP from now on.
Agreed.
I am doing, just thinking what exactly to write unless anyone has good suggestions
Done. I don't understand what is so amazing. I do not read this thread. The FFP rules are like 300 pages back. And in the game i only log to make my team. I see i am playing since 2012. How many times have i said anything on the chat there?
Right i'm off for the night, my head is booming because of all this.
Have a general message, writing all the stadium ranges and the squad cap next to it. Mention also that if anyone has any additional questions/is confused, he can either ask here or pm one of us(if he is a newbie).
No harm done. We go again!
Sorry for this.
Add them to the first post? I had no clue either
Its fine, cant blame you over it if you werent aware of it. Anyways, you have cancelled the bids now so we can all move on and forget this ever happened.
People who are at their ffp limits should be banned from doing any deals, even p/e deals, until they sell someone. Not sure if this is already the case but putting it out there. There will be no room for confusion with this.
I think PX deals are being done away with in the big update.
I read now the whole thing both here and Soccer Manager, the way it escalated. So while i was breaking some rules i did not know of, Herrera was highlighting this situation because he wanted the same player. Then it spread to the already frustrated managers who were seeing i'm bidding for everyone.
What you probably don't realize is that when i first started playing i seen this done by everybody else. Every single player i wanted to buy or remembered from real life as being somewhat competent, was already in someone's squad or was immediately signed by someone else, as i started the bidding. Then i started getting some offers for "good" deals in exchange of large sums of money (eg. Torres when he was already crap for 15 million). This season i got the offer of swaping Smalling + Saul + Rugani for Rooney. Or selling Saul for cash when everybody knows they don't really have any value since there is no good player out there to buy, because all of them are already taken.
Funny thing is that even without knowing about the FFP i thought 50 players is too much and i actually put 3 on the transfer list on Monday. Also i want to add that i don't know the mechanics of the game. Have no idea when players ratings drop or rise(from what i read most of you know these things), it's just a superficial hobby to log and see the results i get. If you look closer i got the team when it was in Divisao 3. Actually i am very surprised i was never in danger of relegation since my average team rating is 82 while most of the other teams are at least 88. And the clubs's value, despite having 52 players, is one of the lowest in then league.
It doesn't matter so much for me, the game, but if i was in charge i'd wipe everything and start each team with it's real players. Maybe setting an even lower squad size. I think it would be even more interesting like that.

Don't make shit up just because you are frustrated.
Btw, I am pretty much safe now. Thank feck for that. Funnily enough, European spots are not unattainable if it's top 12. We go again!!
Form league has Chelsea on top with me 2nd. @christy87

@christy87My bad, i have checked the pm's now. You wanted Smalling + 1 player of your choice + cash for Chiellini.
Or Rugani and Kongolo for "a 90 rated player" who "would instantly become my man".
All good here. No frustration whatsoever.

Yes, and this offer was after end of last season. Don't leave out the timing as that's very crucial.
Which deal are you talking about here and when did I offer this?
Check the PM's on Soccer Manager. The discussions are there.
Checked. I offered kagawa for rugani and kongolo. If that's a terrible deal in your opinion, you're going to be hard pressed to deal with managed clubs.
Man, it's fine. Now tell me what's the fastest way to sell players. Transfer list or minimum fee?
Just transfer list them. Whether or not you set a minimum fee doesn't matter to the AI. That's only for managed clubs as an indicator. You can always post here or in the SM chat about the players you are selling to see if anyone wants them.
Tip: For your players belonging to a club outside the prem, you will get a 15%(approx) premium on top of the face value. You should proceed them accordingly to any managers in the league that might be interested. Players in England get bids just above face value.
Thanks for the info. I was suspecting that is the case.
What about ratings? When do they rise/drop? I know it has to do with real life performances but is there a set up date on this?
The reviews are normally done twice a year, end of season and midway round about dec-jan. Exceptional performances result in unplanned reviews obviously. This is just for the big league's though. The review system sucks so a lot of players get missed if they aren't in the top 4/5 leagues. You will see random reviews for random teams all year round though, typical SM style.
Just got my bid in time! Phew!
feck sake!
You've made really good progress with your squad @christy87 given how old it was a bit back.
My U20:
-----------------------------Scuffet (84)-----------------------------
------------Diks (82)----Baumgartl (82)----Marin (80)------------
-----------------------------Duarte (82)-----------------------------
---Castillejo (86)---Stark (83)---Diousse (78)---Koziello (82)--
---------------------Munir (86)----Success(82)---------------------
Not very good really. Looking at Damiens is depressing. At least most of these players are playing regular football so should get some very good reviews in the winter.
So i just logged in to have a look at things as i assumed the games were saturdays
It's a lot different to the single player game i started but that's ok, my question is that i'm not sure how it works, if i'm present during the titme when the game takes place can i make subs/changes etc?

Have to confirm your tactics before 8 pm gmt, the results are presented around 8.30, so no.So i just logged in to have a look at things as i assumed the games were saturdays

Well that's shit.
You can set subs/tactics changes to occur depending on certain situations.
As i have said, my chairman is an absolute idiot with valuations.
Yeah i'm picking it up slowly, I'm becoming painfully aware how much i've played football manager over the years.
Don't worry, SM isn't 10% as good.
I'm seeing that already, but it looks fun,, although i was just looking at the transfer fees some of you are asking for players
