I started the first year to manage AS Monaco who had low rated old players and was at the lowest division (div 4). The first season I ended first of the league and won the cup. Next season I ended first in div 3 and lost in the cup final. This season started and I am in div 2 and losing money cz i have a very small stadium which was upgraded by only 200 seats this season. Note that I sell player at high prices and buy at low prices and my Squad is very small. So it is obvious that the problem is in the stadium size. Please check out my team AS Monaco and you will find that I am a good businessman and tell me what should I do. Best regards.

Having agreed to buy Gomez from West Ham, but not being allowed to offer quite enough cash (about £3k short), West Ham's manager was happy for me to try to sell him van Nistelrooy as cheaply as possible, to make up the shortfall - didn't work (which was no surprise) but then to try plan B which was for me to buy his other transfer-listed player (Kovac) for the maximum allowed by my chairman, which, again would have put us more or less right, financially. This was blocked - why? Leo is now stll about £3k short; I'm happy because I've got Gomez (Leo got a good deal, in my opinion) but that's not the point - I owe him, can't pay him, and am not happy - any answers or ideas please.

My 3 top players, Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, and Thomas Muller were all taken, and this was done before i was invited into the league. They have since moved to Milan, Internazionale, and Real Madrid respectively and i find that this is a breach of the rule as i was blocked from joining my team just so that these transfers could take place. reference, Ultimate XI championship.

that sounds more like a manager in your league who's offering her/his mate or a fake account she/he might have the job. so that it stops you buying the player to either stop you strengthening your team or for him to build up enough money so he can make a bid for him very rare soccer manager offer jobs to a manager then that same manger resigns straight away. if its happens frequently after 7 days then its a good chance its a manager in your league screwing you out of a deal for bid made for that player.

most of your players expect to play 7 out of 10 games... use this as a guide the concerns will lower in time or the quick fix is sell the player and buy the same skill player... then after the transfer ban is up go and get him back

by the sounds of it your doing well unfortunately thats the cost of being successful... ive had 3 years of that.... little tip play 3 lesser players the 1st half then use 3 subs on 45 mins bring in your top players for the 2nd half... they wont lose any condition for thev next game
Answered by james bex - 10 years ago
the player takes in the past seasons. it also depends on his rating! most players over 93+ will want to play a minimum of 28/29+ games a season. the higher rated players and more challenging and expect to play in most games. so if he's at level 4 already he's pretty much a gone player and better off selling him. unless your willing to pay him stupid amount of money to drop his concern and pay over the top for wages he not worth it.
Answered by Rodney Trotter - 10 years ago
if you have to ask that then maybe you shouldn't be a manager.
however, when the opposition has the ball your players will get goal side of the ball. if you don't know what 'goal side' of the ball is you don't know football

he never does I've been on here a while and never had any cash from my chairman. you got to buy and sell players to make any money on this game. and it don't help with the prize money is so low for winning cups and the league as well.

How can a manager showing he has not been on line for a period of time,get to decline a bid for player/players,and his login date still shows he has not been on line ???
Answered by jarred pike - 10 years ago
basically comes down to money and balance. players who don't play at that club will get sold on so the unmanaged club can rebuy their original players back. and it keep the teams balanced and with the correct players at their club just like in real life.

Rating changes take place on a weekly basis within a Player Rating Changes Schedule which covers the majority of the world league’s and runs throughout the year.
However this does not mean your players rating will change every week, in fact if they change twice a year that is about the average.

both bids will get excepted. Then the player will decide who he wants to play for. That's what happened to me.

they will leave your team/game. then you will have compensation/money for the retiring player at the start of a new season.

When you're on your club's home page, look for the button in the top right hand corner with the league name and number written on it (should have a "world" logo on it). Click it to open a drop down box. Select "Player Database" and you will see all recent player rating changes.
Answered by Justin Phillimore - 10 years ago
u should consider setting a tactic by seeing a players form like a player like Lionel Messi will play bad too if his form is 6-6-5-3 but a player whose rating is 86 will play very good if his form is 7-8-8-9 and for my advice u should change ur formation to 4-2-3-1 its a really good one i hope this answer helps u
Answered by Jai Chhaya - 10 years ago
u have to change ur tactics
i guess u arent setting ur tactics by seeing the players form
a players form is important for winning a match
for example it can be like u r managing a club like barcelona and one of ur players like messi's form is 7-7-6-6-3 then he wont play good and if ur opposite team has a player rated 86 and his form is 8-8-7-9-9 then he will play excellent
so it basically depends on a players form for me and i advice u to use the tactic 4-2-3-1
i hope u get it
Answered by Jai Chhaya - 10 years ago
i am sure it depends on the club like if the player is in a unpopular club like wolfsburg or so the player value will increase but if he is in a club like barcelona then his value will be less so yeah
