No one said that earlier, I cancelled my other deals for that to go through, no chance of signing anyone decent then, all the mid to low 80s players are transfer banned

Sorry kps.

Carles PLANAS (Pos: LB, Age: 21, Rating: 84) has completed his move to Leeds United from Barcelona in a swap deal for Tom LEES. All other offers were turned down.

Nils PETERSEN (Pos: CF, Age: 23, Rating: 85) has completed his move to Leeds United from Bayern München in a swap deal for Luciano BECCHIO.

Antonio CANDREVA (Pos: AM/Wing, Age: 25, Rating: 87) has completed his move to Leeds United from Udinese in a swap deal for Aidan WHITE.

That's my CF and AM/Wing positions sorted. No need to do any more transfers there apart from perhaps another CF later on in the season as Inzaghi will probably go down in the rating update and will probably decrease in condition fairly easily.

Two of those three are in poor condition so they won't be playing tonight.

How are you getting these players. :(

In hindsight my transfer strategy was wrong and I should have built up the squad with cheap players before going for player exchange deals.

But now it is too late as I want the transfers to go through today before the game. None of them have progressed. Sheffield United would easily beat us.

91 I think
Try someone in the region of 87-89 at the most. That's what most of the signings are like in the division, then when your squad average rating goes up you should be able to try and sign a 91 rating. There aren't many 90+ rated players in Division 2, and going for the 87-89 rated players means you can sign more of them and strengthen more of your squad rather than using most of your money (if you are using money) on fewer players.

Ratings change should be interesting. Are we notified if/when the player ratings do change? Or do we just see it from viewing their profile and seeing their rating history?

Edit: zlatan's just pmed me the answer. Can view rating changes at Squad => Reports tab.

German Updates will be interesting. I was looking at the German tables yesterday and it seems we've all missed something pretty obvious... nevermind :lol:

cj_sparky has done a tremendous job at Reading. 23 new players over 100M of worth and by spending only 6M odd. How is that even possible I have no idea.
