(First of all this is a career played on FM13 but posting here for more exposure. If this is against the rules then a moderator can move it..)

SELL-HAMPTON

At the time of writing it looks like Southampton are selling everything that isn't tied with Shaw, Lallana, Lambert, Lovren and Chambers all sold and Rodriguez and Schneirderlin seemingly on their way too, with the club set to bring in well over £100m.

This got me thinking: How would this work on FM? Can it work? And how rich can the club become if it does work?



So I'm starting a career with Southampton with some unique rules..

Selling Players:

1) All good bids for my players will never be rejected, ideally this will be double their market value or close to it.
2) All new players will be sold before their 25th birthday
3) Top two players from the previous season (average rating) will be sold
4) Or, any player averaging over (example) 7.5 rating for the season will be sold

Buying Players:

Sold players to be replaced with

1) youth team players
2) Under 21 English players
3) Under 21 British/Irish players
4) Under 21 Foreign prospects
(in that order if no suitable players can be found at the club)


Goals

1) Not get relegated!
2) Qualify for the Champions League
3) Win the Premier League
4) Win the Champions League
5) Win the domestic Cups
6) Have a team full of home grown players
7) Have one billion pounds in the bank
 
I had already started a Southampton career on FMC13 and have played up until the January transfer deadline day..



As you can see we are doing fantastically well, far exceeding our media prediction of a relegation battle.

As of Jan 31 2013 we received no bids for any players except for Richard Chaplow who I sold for £2m as he won't be involved in the first team.

Transfers in I signed Will Keane from Man Utd for £750,000 and Martin Hinteregger for £2.9m to add a bit of depth to the squad. The real business will be done in the summer 2014 transfer window.. and it looks like Rickie Lambert and Jose Fonte will be our best players this season and subsequently sold in the summer.

A glorious cup win as we eliminated both Manchester clubs en route to the final where we narrowly beat Spurs in extra time.

So going by the Sell-hampton rules Fonte and Lambert (best two players this season) and Schneirderlin (average rating over 7.5) will be sold during the summer to the highest bidder.
