Transfer market
On the transfer market you bring in reinforcements or cash in. Know the auction rules and you won't overpay – or sell too cheap.
How auctions work
Players on the transfer list are sold to the highest bidder. To bid, you first have to negotiate a contract with the player (wages & bonuses). After the auction ends, the player changes club.
As the highest bidder you only pay the price of the second-highest bid. So you can bid your true maximum without automatically "overpaying".
Minimum price
The minimum price a player can be listed at is predetermined and based on factors like position, age and strength. If a listed player receives no bids, the system buys him for the minimum price after the transfer window – so you're never stuck with an unsellable player.
Search & sorting
The search lets you filter by position, age and strength and sort by remaining auction time. That's how you find exactly the reinforcement your squad is missing – or a bargain others overlooked.
Know the strength and talent before you bid, and keep an eye on your budget (see Finances). Young talents are often the better investment than expensive "finished" players.
Transfer targets
Tap the heart on a player to save him as a transfer target. Your saved players appear together at the top of the “Active” tab — so you always keep an eye on your wishlist.
Your fans have a say
Transfers are also a matter of mood: a star signing that strengthens your first eleven noticeably lifts the fan atmosphere – selling a crowd favourite (one of your top players) sends the stands into a rage, hardcore fans above all. And since a good atmosphere works as home advantage right down to the pitch, factor it in before any big sell-off.
