This is better for starting in the 2nd season or for more up to date transfers.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Wow, i've been longing for this for a long time! Saves me all the endless simulating.
Will this conflict with any data updates though?
I've no idea, to be honest, shouldn't though.
It seems okay. It also looks like this method has given me a proper transfer budget to start the new season with also. £220m
Now, to buy Gaitan and Sneijder!
How does Delle Ali turn out on this? I just almost signed him January to go through in the summer (don't need him right now) for £50m.
I cancelled it because he is transfer listed and I'm wondering if I knock the price down between now and end of season.
Ramsey is also transfer listed but Arsenal are quitting no double the asking price, I'm guessing because I'm a rival.
Unsettled players put in transfer requests very often on this. Seems a lot more frequent than previous years.
I signed Kane because of a transfer request for £50m in the summer. He isn't doing well in my formation though so may have to get rid come the summer.
I'm officially back into this game now... which is a bad thing.

Is the mobile version any good?
Alli can become a freaking monster.
Sign him!!!
I dicked about with the fee and he ended up signing for Liverpool. fecked myself over there.
Won the league and Champions League.
Perfect time to get into this with the season ending

Spent the entire morning on the transfer window
I struggled a bit with this window. Didn't really know where to improve, bought Laporte because he was such a bargain and actually panicked a bit towards the end, recalling a few players from loan. I also purchased Donnarumma for £30m, but set it to go through at the end of the season. Arsenal were tryng to sign him so I wanted to get him now before it was too late, like with Dell Alli (who has 5 goals in 3 games for Liverpool
)Look at my CD options though
Something very interesting happening at the bottom of the table early on
My favourite comeback in all my years of FM (take note of the goal times in the second game especially!)
Went full muppet and got Griezmann, Ruben Neves and Dembele for my second season at United
Grand total of 200m

Started a save with Man Utd today, usually don't do much with them beyond the first few weeks, as it's too easy but I'm having a lot of fun this time. Looking forward to getting some of the youth involved, academy is ridiculous this year.
Also, picked up Kuki on a loan with a mandatory future fee of 1.1m, lad is going to be a monster.

This is actually pretty good, right?
Yeah that's decent that

That's actually a better situation than the standard rules, tbh, because now you can take players from anywhere without worrying, for example the million Brazilian wonderkids that would never get a permit, feck off to Spain for two years and end up worth eighty million.
Yeah exactly
Ah, shame because I have a youth team full of Brazilians that I signed before the rule came into play. They are all out on loan so can't seem to apply for a work permit.

Once they return, they won't need work permits, that's why it's great.
Nothing pains me more than seeing a potential world class regen at a rival club
A) because they signed them before you
B) because you will never get to sign them yourself

This is why I sign like 20-30 16 year olds a season.Nothing pains me more than seeing a potential world class regen at a rival club

I've been doing just that. Most I've got for pittance, and a few I've spent close to £20m on... but letting just this one slip is tearing me apart.This is why I sign like 20-30 16 year olds a season.
4th year at AC Milan and I've just seen Hazard go to Porto. Wondered why and then realised they have had a tycoon owner come in. Hazard, Laporte, Vietto, Felipe Anderson and Benteke have been signed.
Just signed a player from City
If you want Dybala.. never let him sign a new contract before going for him. Juventus won't even talk to me for 180m!
Got him for 100m, think I made the offer in early April of the first season.If you want Dybala.. never let him sign a new contract before going for him. Juventus won't even talk to me for 180m!
Hate it when you get a highly rated regen that just doesn't suit any of the roles in your team.
I hate when you think you've spotted an amazing regen only to discover he's 5'2''.
I once signed an amazing Japanese goalkeeper, was rated potentially higher than De Gea... he was 5'3"
I asked around FM forums if it really mattered and they said only aerial ability and jumping matters, height doesnt come in to play that heavily. But both were low for him I once signed an amazing Japanese goalkeeper, was rated potentially higher than De Gea... he was 5'3"
Height affects the jumping reach. I'm finding way too many players this year that are 5'6'' or less and their jumping is always around 3.
As soon as my wonderkids start showing their true ability, I nail them down on a 5 year contract with an optional 3-years to extend at very low wages.
Soon I will end up with a world class first team all earning next to nothing... feels like cheating a little bit.

Have been abstaining from getting this, but it's 67% off on steam and it's downloading now
Game is too addictive.
Started with Utd (of course) with aim of selling all big earners and bringing through youngsters.
Made a cheeky bid for Hazard and he fell out with Conte so I got him on the cheap (£65m). No other signings.
Top of league in November after beating Scousers 3-2. Man City 14th. Chelsea 16th.
A lot of players hugely overrated (Mata, Jones, Martial, Darmian, Shaw).
But they're got me again the bastards!
