Scout for players and buy players with the age, role and strengths you need.
Search for available players on the transfer list or players that have no contract with a club.
You can filter players on:
Available players on the transfer list are shown with guesses for the overall strengths and no detailed strengths are known if it's an unknown player.
Send a scout to investigate the strengths of a player to get a better view of the overall strengths and to also see the detailed strengths.
The better the scout is the more accurate the scout report will be.
Send another scout for a second opinion.
A second scout report will be an improvement of the previous report.
The second opinion will show which strengths go up and which strengths go down. The new estimates are closer to the actual strengths and it gives an indication of the direction you can expect for each strength.
If the player is still under contract you can place a transfer bid with the transfer fee you are willing to pay the selling club.
A player on the transfer list has an asking price. If you place a transfer bid for the asking price your bid will get accepted automatically.
A player can also have a minimum price. If the minimum price is set, your transfer bid should be between the minimum price and the asking price.
If your bid is below the asking price, the selling club can decline or accept your bid. Your bid will be valid for 1 to 4 days depending on the chosen bid duration.
The selling club can accept your transfer bid or decline.
When the selling club declines your bid, they can send an adjustment of the asking price as part of the negotiation.
You can respond with an adjusted transfer bid or accept the (adjusted) asking price.
You can place three bids in total for a player. After the third bid, a cooldown period of 7 days starts. After the cooldown period you can start negotiations again for the same player.
If you want to start contract negotiations with a player select the Contract section in the Buy Tab.
The player will show the contract duration he wants and the salary per season and signing fee he wants.
If you offer what he wants, he will accept your offer if he doesn't have any other offers that are better.
If you want to offer a different contract duration or change the salary or signing fee, the player can accept or decline.
When the player declines your offer, he can send an adjustment to the salary and signing fee as part of the negotiation.
You can respond with an adjusted contract offer or change the salary and signing fee to meet what he wants.
You can place three contract offers in total for a player. After the third offer, a cooldown period of 7 days starts. After the cooldown period you can start negotiations again with the same player.
A accepted transfer bid doesn't give you exclusive rights to negotiate with a player.
A transfer will only be completed if a transfer bid is accepted by the selling club and a contract offer is accepted by the player.
If a player is really interesting, you should try to negotiate transfer price and contract quickly since other clubs might sign a transfer and contract quicker.
