Fellow managers:
When would you say is, generally speaking, the best time to sell and/or buy your players?
I don't mean in specific cases, like "when he's unhappy" or "when a good player is transfer listed".
I mean, when do the teams performances trigger your reputation and the player's value?
I'll put it clearer:
Sometimes you start with a smaller club, let's say, from Championship. After a successful season, you get promotion against the odds! obviously, more players will be interested in joining your team, now that you'll be playing in the premier league. So I want to know, when does the game trigger that reputation boost? Is it as soon as you play the last game of the league? Is it when the season summary is out? Is it July 1st?
The same thing goes for your players. Let's say you have a left winger that was good for your team. But now you qualified for the champions league and your scouts spotted a much better one that you can afford. So you want to sell him now, because not only he wouldn't enjoy being benched, but also because he did a good season. That means that his price should go up, and also that next season, as he would be benched, his value would decrease. So the time to sell him is now.
But, once again, when does the game trigger his inflation? is it as soon as the season ends? is it when the next season's features are out? is it when he gets selected in the league's team of the year? or is it anywhen else?
If any of you spotted these patterns, please enlighten me
