Finding the right player
Once you’ve attempted to dispose of the players you have deemed surplus to requirements its time to look for new players to bring into the club.
Chances are your budget is somewhat restricted (or non-existent in the case of Cambridge City) so pull up your player search and filter for the players whom you can afford currently.
When starting as a small club I generally initially filter for players within my home nation who are without a club, This shortlist generally be the most reliable with regards to signing players as they’re currently unemployed and so will be looking to get back into football.
Again as with staff the chances are you won’t be able to be over fussy regarding who you can bring in, but if you look around then you might be able to locate a couple of ex-Premiership youngsters who will be star performers for a club at your level.
Obviously the hardest part of scouting for new talent yourself is determining what makes a good player. The table below will help by acting as a quick reference guide as to the attributes which are most important to a player for each of the main positions found in the game.
The settings indicated in the table below are sensible things to filter for for general player roles.
Position Important Characteristics
Goalkeeper Reflexes, Handling, Communication, Jumping
Wing Backs Positioning, Tackling, Pace, Anticipation, Stamina
Left/Right Defenders Positioning, Tackling, Pace, Anticipation
Central Defenders Tackling, Jumping, Positioning, Heading, Strength, Marking, Bravery, Teamwork
Attacking Wingers Pace, Dribbling, Passing, Off the Ball,Creativity, Crossing
Attacking Midfield Passing, Off the Ball, Creativity, Technique, Dribbling
Defensive Midfield Workrate, Jumping, Tackling, Stamina, Positioning
Fast Striker Pace, Acceleration, Dribbling, Technique, Finishing, Off the Ball
Target Striker Jumping, Heading, Strength, Off the ball
The Level which is deemed acceptable for each of these attributes will vary dependant upon the level your club is playing at, as a rule of thumb I’d suggest Premiership clubs (15+), Division One (10+), Conference (7+). In the lower regions you’ll have to accept that most players at that level won’t have a ‘high’ value in all of their important characteristics and it’ll be up to you to determine which are more important for the style of tactic which you’re attempting to undertake.
Searching for Players
When searching for players after setting filters to narrow the people down to a reasonable level I generally find that viewing via. Players attributes and clicking on the column headers to sort the lists into order can quickly narrow down for me whom I am likely to be interested in.
Now you’ve used the search filter to find a few players the next thing is to persuade them to join your club. If they’re available on a free-transfer then the next stage is negotiating a contract with them, however if they’re already at a club you first have to decide what would be a fair price to pay for them.
Deciding a purchase price
If they’re always at a club then you’ll probably have to negotiate a transfer fee for the player – you do this by selecting ‘Make Transfer Bid’ from either the bottom left of the menu bar on the player profile or by right clicking on the players name and selecting that option from the pop-up menu that appears.
When placing a bid for a player bear in mind that you will often have to pay above the displayed valuation of the player because their club isn’t really that interested in selling the player in question and has to be ‘persuaded’ to do so.
If money is tight then consider the position that the players club is in as there are circumstances in which a player might be allowed to go on the ‘cheap’ from a club (sometimes even much less than their displayed asking price). I’ve listed a few examples of these situations below:
· Player is Transfer Listed
· Player is unhappy
· Player’s contract is about to expire
· Player isn’t wanted at the club
· Player has fallen out with his manager
In contrast there are many similar warning signs available when a club may want more money than his displayed value, again I’ve listed some of these below:
· Player is a key player in the side
· Player has a long term contract
· Player is happy to stay at the club
· Player is a youth player with potential (commonly these are players who are in U21 International sides or similar)
Once you’ve placed some bids for a few players continue the game using the ‘Continue Game’ button (top left of the main bar across the game screen). The game will run through a few days and stop either when its got some match results to display or when someone responds to one of the offers that you’ve placed for a player.
Negotiating Contracts
When negotiating contracts its important to keep in mind the role you envision the player taking at your club. Don’t over-pay for a speculative player unless you’re at a club where money isn’t an issue.
For smaller clubs, especially semi-professional clubs try and keep within your wage budget as much as possible and aim to sign mainly younger players who will accept wages which are within your normal wage structure.
In my case I failed to abide by these rules and the transfer acquisitions blew my wage budget through the roof triggering the board to promptly indicate that they’d block any further transfers into the club until I got my budget back under control (one of the hazards of managing a small club).
To round my team out further I looked at my youth (grey) players for any who might hold up a backup role in the team and offered contracts to a defender and a striker who were at least physically capable. The youngsters quickly accepted and while I doubted they’d excel they gave my squad some much lacking depth.
Purchasing players from big clubs a word of warning
When purchasing players from a large professional club bear in mind that they are currently training with highly competent coaches on a full-time basis. Hence when they join your small club and start training only part-time you should expect a slight decline in their skills due to them losing their edge slightly.
This is an important thing to bear in mind when offering contracts otherwise you might find yourself wildly over-paying for a player who in reality isn’t that much better than current members of your squad.
