TRANSFERS AND LOANS

The search#

This page allows you to search the entire game database: you can search for players, clubs or managers. Each time, you can use many filters to refine your search.

Lists in which you can perform your searches are predefined, here they are :

• List of transfers (players available for a transfer according to their manager)
• List of loans (players available for a loan according to their manager)
• Free player (players without contract and without club)
• U17 (players under 17 with no professional contract)
• Club / Manager

The short-list (My selection)#

On every player's page you consult in the game, you have the option to select him.

You'll then find all your selected players in your own “My selection” list.

This list is very useful for monitoring your potential future recruits, because not only will you be able to rank them in order of preference and filter them as you wish, but you will also receive a message every time another manager makes an offer on them.

My current offers#

Every time you receive a transfer or loan offer, this is where you accept, negotiate or refuse it.

A notification in the menu tells you when there is something new.

Please note: any offer or negotiation left unanswered for 3 days is automatically cancelled. So you have a maximum of 3 days to respond.

Detection#

Detection makes it possible to recruit young players aged 14 or 15.

When you offer a license to a young player and he accepts it, he will join your training center within a maximum of 24 hours of your offer.

Each time a young player joins a club a new young player appears in the youth list.

The list

A new list of young players is offered every 4 hours.

The number of young players in this list is as follows :

10 players + ( 1 player * the number of licenses requested during the current session )

The list always includes approximately the same number of DF defenders, MF midfielders, FW forwards and a few GK goalkeepers.

Access to the list

The list is accessible by purchasing the right to offer 1, 3 or 5 licenses, using money or credits earned in the game.

• 1 license for 1M € or 10 credits
• 3 licenses for 2.4M € or 24 credits
• 5 licenses for 3.5M € or 35 credits

Access to the list is valid for 4 hours.

The young player's observation report

To make your choice, you have to study the young player's observation report, which is different from a normal player's page.

The observation report is the only document accessible to a young player during his first year (since its creation).

At the end of his first year of play, the young player's full page will be unveiled.

• Potential : The first number determines the level that can be reached by the player with the worst progression curve, the second with the best curve. This is an estimate.
• Current level : The current level of the player is between these two numbers included. The maximum level that a young person can have at its creation is 74.
• Quality : The skill category with the best average among the physical, technical and mental categories.
• Weakness : The skill category with the lowest average among the physical, technical and mental categories.
• Talent : The player's highest skill + 1 indicator ( Exceptional, Excellent, Good, Average, Basic or Minimal ).
• Gap : The player's lowest skill + 1 indicator ( Exceptional, Excellent, Good, Average, Basic or Minimal ).
• Temper : Temper of the player.

How to read the indicator?

• Exceptional : Raw skill greater than 75.
• Excellent : Raw skill less than 75.
• Good : Raw skill less than 70.
• Average : Raw skill less than 65.
• Basic : Raw skill less than 60.
• Minimal : Raw skill less than 55.

How does a young player choose a club?

Each young player has an Ambition visible in the list of players.

50% of the young players have the ambition "To play in a big club" and 50% have the ambition "To play for fun".

Ambition is used to determine where the player will sign in case he receives several license offers at the same time.

• To play for fun : The young player will sign with the club with the fewest U17 players, in the case of a tie, the young player will sign with the club whose last U17 signing date is the furthest away.
• To play in a big club : A number of points is calculated, the young player will sign with the club with the highest number of points.
  Here is the formula : Number of pts FIHF + ( 50 * number of days since the last U17 signing ). *(!) Number of days capped at 20, which gives a maximum bonus of 50 20 = 1000 points

Important Young players who have signed a licence and are released from their club in their first year are removed from the game.

Buy and sell players#

There are two periods of mercato for each season, the pre-season mercato and the mid-season mercato (end of the first leg games). The dates are indicated on the "rules" page of each competition.

• Negotiations and transfers can take place throughout the season; however, players only change clubs during a mercato period.
• Once a transfer is completed, you will know the arrival date of your new player.
• One exception: you have the right to 1 "joker" player, who can arrive during first leg games only.

If you hire a junior player (under 17) he will arrive at your training center the day after signing the contract, there is no mercato period for U17 players.

If you do not complete a transfer then you cannot make a new offer for that player for 7 days.

Auctions#

Rules

• The other managers have three days to make a bid at least equal to the starting price set by the seller.
• If at the end of the 3 days no manager has made an offer, the player stays in his club.
• Otherwise the transfer will be automatically finalized with the manager who made the last bid.

Lending and borrowing players#

When can I ask for a player on loan?

Only during the first part of the season.

After the mid-season mercato it’s no longer possible to conclude a loan.

The loan is always for the entire season; the wage must be paid if you receive the player.

Be careful when lending your players: the manager who receives your players must be conscientious, since he will manage the training of these players himself.

The loan return clause

When you lend a player you can decide on a return-of-loan clause that allows you to bring your player back to the club.

This clause can be activated at any time until the end of the mid-season transfer window. After this date it's impossible to activate this clause.

The rule

• You have the possibility to receive a maximum of 3 loans; this rule is valid for all clubs.
• You can lend as many players as you want.
• If a club becomes inactive (without a manager), your players loaned to that club return to you automatically, while players from that club loaned to you stay with you until the end of the season.
• Loans can only take place during first leg games.

Reserve price#

You can choose a reserve price for each player in your club, it’s the price from which you wish to be informed of an offer. All offers below the selected reserve price will be automatically rejected without your intervention. The reserve price isn’t displayed in game, only you have this information.

Release clause#

You can choose a release clause for each player in your club. This is the amount that your opponents must pay in order to buy the player automatically. Be careful: once the amount is paid, you can’t oppose the transfer. If it exists, the release clause is displayed on the player's page and all managers can see it.

Advice With the player search tool you can filter players to display only those with a release clause. This way, you can buy players whose manager is willing to sell from a certain price onward.
