Hi everybody! lets hope this one lasts a little longer than the Platinum League!!
Before I even start with rules and the like, I would like to deliver one important message
Warning - This game is only for people who have time to play and are willing to contribute to the thread (This doesnt mean analysis of every result or regular press releases, as long as you part of the flow of the game you are fine!). I will have no problems booting anybody that is inactive from the game! I want to try and keep the pace of this game quite fast so please only sign up if you are going to have the time to check the thread a couple of times a day.
Right, now that's over and out of the way, lets get to the rules!
THE RULES
1) To sign up you must have a copy of FM16. This is because I will be running my game on FM16 and so you need the same version to ensure that transfers are done correctly.
2) You must be able to regularly check the thread for updates and follow the rules of the game. Failure to be active or repeatedly violating the rules of the game will see you being removed from it.
3) Before joining, read ALL of the rules posted below and make sure you understand ALL of the rules.
4) Lastly, remember guys, it is only a game. Please be respectful to everybody who has just as much right to be here as anybody else.
2) If you are relegated you MAY take control of a promoted team.
3) Only realistic managerial appointments will be allowed, so it is not possible to being Pep Guardiola to Burnley. HOWEVER you may be unrealistic with other players managers(C2C -eg Mourinho to Burnley) IF you can agree a sum with the other player.
What is a realistic managerial appointment?: The reputation of the manager CANNOT be higher than the reputation of your team.
4) Signing a manager from another team will require you to pay a compensation value of the remainder of their contract. If it is a human controlled team you must agree a compensation fee.
5) You may set your transfer & wage budgets to whatever you like, (for your AI manager) but if you put them too high you run the risk of your club having financial problems in the future, so I advise against going too high.
6) Facilities may be upgraded at any time, however at a cost:
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your youth system.
3,000,000 for a minor improvement to your training facilities.
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your Junior Coaching.
2,500,000 for a minor improvement to your Youth recruitment.
I may allow stadiums to be upgraded in future seasons, but not initially (definitely not for the first season). Any upgrades done will come directly out of your bank balance.
7) I will be uploading the save game file every transfer window. The results/updates will be posted on the thread (monthly- game time).
This part is very important!
First of all:
There are 5 different types of Signings:
-C2C (Chairman to Chairman): Basically signings within the EPL.
-DOM (domestic - Championship and lower)
-FGN (Foreign): Signing players from clubs not in England.
-FORu18 -(Foreign under 18 - youth signing)
-FREE (Free signings)
1) To sign a player from another team in your league you must contact the Chairman of that club and agree a value with them. You can then calculate their wage using one of the rules below.
Both Chairmen will then need to PM me with the agreed amount and quote the message showing you have agreed the transfer/loan, and once I have confirmed it then you can announce the transfer.
2) The number of players that you can sign is limited to the following:
C2C
Transfers between clubs in the league - Unlimited
Loans between clubs in the league - 3
DOM
Transfers from clubs in your nation, below your league - 2
Loans from Championship and lower - 2.
FGN
Transfers from foreign clubs - Maximum of 3 in the Summer, maximum of 2 in January.
Loans from foreign clubs - 2
FORu18
Transfers of youth players* from foreign clubs - Maximum of 2 in the Summer, maximum of 1 in January.
*A youth player is classified as a player aged 18 or under.
FREE
Free signings - 3 per season
Only 1 player can be loaned from any specific team. (for example you can't loan 3 Man City players. You can however sign 3 Man City players permanently). This rule is overridden by a parent/feeder club partnership which will be covered later.
3) The price of players is as follows:
Transfers between clubs in the league - Agreed between Chairmen
Transfers from clubs in your nation, below your league - 1.5 the players current value
Transfers from foreign clubs - 2 times the players current value (if Squad status is Rotation or below, or if the player is Unhappy), 2.5 times current value otherwise
Transfers of youth players from foreign clubs - Double the players current value IF they have not represented their nation.
3x times the players current value if they have represented their nation.
NOTE: If a player is transfer-listed for a particular value in game or has a release clause, it is possible to sign said player by paying the required amount. If both a transfer fee and release clause exist, the player can be signed by paying the lesser of the two amounts.
4) Loan signings
-C2C(chairman to chairman) Loans may be arranged between clubs for free, no loan fee is allowed to be demanded. Percentage of wage covered can be set at anywhere from 0% to 100% and is to be discussed and negotiated between clubs.
- DOM(championship and lower) loans are: £250k loan fee and 100% wages.
-FGN(foreign) loans are set at 100% wages £250k loan fee and 100% wages.
Note: To sign FGN/DOM/U18 players on loan, the player needs to either be unhappy at his current club or has a squad status of Rotation or below.
6)PM me the player that you want to sign on a free transfer. Then at the end of the transfer window I will put them all in the thread and there will be a blind auction. By that I mean every Chairman can submit contracts to the players, these offers will be sent to me via PM. After the auction has finished the players will join the team that offers him the highest wage.
7) You may release any players from their contract at any time, but will have to pay the remainder of their contract to do so.
8) If you wish to sell players then you need to post them in the thread as available. Other Chairmen can then make offers for them if they wish. If they are not sold to another Chairmen in the league then I will set them as transfer listed in the game, this does not guarantee that they will be sold however.
(Wages for players in a C2C transfer remain frozen)
1) This is quite complicated, so please read it carefully.
The wages that players will be signed on will vary depending on the player you're signing and the club that you're at.
Predicted League Position of 1st to 6th:
Player aged 18 of less - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 2 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - Same as current wage
Predicted League Position of 7th to 11th
Players aged 18 or less - 1.5 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.5 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - Same as current wage
Predicted League Position of 12th to 20th
Players aged 18 or less - 1.25 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with less than 10 international caps - 1.25 times current wage
Players aged 19 to 32 with more than 10 international caps - 1.75 times current wage
Players aged 33 or over - Same as current wage
PLEASE NOTE! The wage guidelines above cover the MINIMUM wage that may be offered to a player to join your club. In the event of more than one club bidding for the same player, it is the club that offers the highest wage that will get the player. As such, if you are really determined to get your player, you are probably better off offering a higher wage in case anybody else bids for him. Dont bid too high though! you might ruin your finances or overpay for a player. This is a balancing act that you have to decide upon!
Parent/Feeder clubs
It is possible in the game for a club to select another club in the league as a parent club. If this happens, the feeder club may take more than one loan player from the parent club, up to the maximum of three players stated in the league transfer rules.
