BE A MANAGER!

[MWEST94]

First of all I need 5 people! (I will happily add more if people are really interested in this challenge)
I’ve seen a lot of challenges where people get to be players in the games, so thought I would create one where you are managers in the game. You can start at any club or unemployed, it’s up to you. Everyone will start with 115 Current ability (similar to Brendan Rogers/ Gus Poyet) and -8 Potential. You also get the chance to choose your transfers in the first transfer window, if you start at a club, which I will put on the club in editor. Be realistic! Someone like Messi will not go for £10 million but you could get someone like Vertonghen for under that much. If I think the player would not go for a certain fee or to a certain club I will not make that transfer happen! Also first come first serve with transfers, so be quick!
Transfer budgets:

• Equivalent to Premier League, La Liga - £10 million transfer, £80 k wage
• Equivalent to Dutch and Portuguese league - £6 million transfer, £45 k wage
• Equivalent to Championship - £3 million transfer, £30 k wage

Please set out your manager profile like this:

Alright I will add you mate. Just need to know your top 5 tactical and non-tactical. Just search for a manager in editor, then look at non player data and pick from there. If u need screenshots just tell me or I could give you random ones! I think your transfer is a bit ambitious considering he has 2 years at the start of this FM. But I will probably allow it, just about. I will ask the other players if they are also want to sell players, just to check, but list the players you would sell!

[Toon Army 13]

Xisco (£5mil)

I will add you! I won't add Eriksen, just because he costs a lot more! Also Gordon isn't free till end of the season. You still can add players, just be realistic! Also what do you think about selling players?

 

[MWEST94]

Sell -
Gosling (£5mil)
Xisco (£5mil)

With fees don't sign Huddlestone, sign M'Vila for £13mil, 30K

I will do that but what clubs would sign these players for that much?

 

[Toon Army 13]

I've always been able to get rid of them for that much, their both valued at £3mil so can sell them for £4mil each if you feel is more realistic?

I assumed you'd be using LFCs update, in which case, Gordon is free as he was released...

Okay can I swap Eriksen for Afellay (he's transfer-listed on the game after a month or so).
