sallers Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've not managed to install and play the new patch yet and am wondering if it's any easier to sell players on the new patch, can any of you guys comment on this please? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have had no issues selling players at all in FM11 so I would say it has been easy right from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colski Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have had no issues selling players at all in FM11 so I would say it has been easy right from the start. I agree. Not really sure what all the fuss has been about - I've got on fine with the transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholes=legend Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have had no issues selling players at all in FM11 so I would say it has been easy right from the start. I would agree. I find its best to wait till clubs are interested or list them first and see if there's a lot of interest, if there is you will get good prices for your players. I've managed to get double the value and more for a lot of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivu Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The problem I had faced till now was that none of the teams were making a bid for my players. There will be interest and lot of speculation in media without ever getting an offer. Only option was to offer player to clubs. Have not tested so far in 11.3 as I did not have time to start up a new save yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohAhhCantona Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's much better selling players, as man utd I got 6 something for that backup polish keeper, 10 mill from celtic and 8.25 (with 50% sell on) over 48 months offered for john o'shea and 15 million from 2 teams for michael carrick better than last patch for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiend Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I started with Liverpool and couldn't find a single club interested in Poulsen, Joe Cole and Fabio Aurelio. I was lucky with Agger though, offered him for 19M€, Man City was the only interested and offer that right away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utdchamp Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have had no issues selling players at all in FM11 so I would say it has been easy right from the start. I agree as well. Given I started as AFC Wimbledon and did not start selling properly until 2015-2016 and big name players around 2020. When I played in PL I felt I could easily get rid of my players for decent fees.

J.T Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think there has been an issue with selling players from the first patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blurps Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think there has been an issue with selling players from the first patch There has been actually, for many people AI teams wouldn't ever bid more than the market value of a player. That has been fixed in 11.3 as far as I can tell though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would buy poulsen or cole as they wouldnt move because they only just moved there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdanio Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I could never sell anyone for more than their value. Just offered out my back up 29 year old winger valued at £5.25m for £10m and I got 4 bids - £10m, £10m, £8m, £10m over 4 years. Perfect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoldzhu Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Not played much of Fm2011, so don't get a clue on sales of own players, but just one quick question, does not the agent play an important role in selling players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 There has been actually, for many people AI teams wouldn't ever bid more than the market value of a player. That has been fixed in 11.3 as far as I can tell though. Thats because a lot of people didn't bother setting an asking price therefore teams bid the value they saw. If you set an asking price you did receive higher bids but the issue seemed to be a lack of bids overall for a human user compared to an AI team.

r0x0r Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The only players I have trouble shifting are potential superstars who never improved, and thus are on too big a contract compared to their actual worth. Obviously given their wage demands, no-one else wants them either. Players that are actually good enough to play (at other top teams even if not at mine) are easy to shift, often at 3-4 times their value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboot81 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Setting an asking price doesn't help anything. Believe me I have tried that. I don't believe you guys who say there's no problem. I didn't start new game with new patch though so I don't know if anything changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't start new game with new patch though so I don't know if anything changed. Setting an asking price doesn't increase the number of bids you receive but when you do get bids they will be based on your asking price as opposed to the valuation. I haven't played the new patch enough but signs are the amount of activity has increased and they'll be more bids for your players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmi88 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i had difficulty selling players in the first 10 seasons for more than they were worth, but once the regens were through bids were large and small. not had too much time on the new patch to see a difference yet >.< Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jops14 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was rarely able to sell anyone over their et value, i cant believe people saying they didnt think there was a problem. Id set asking prices, if i ever got more it would never meet the asking price, and if i negotiated they would still just offer the same, it was so bad last time round. Now its fine, on my save (2025) i offered out my star FC groningen striker for 16M, last save i would have been offered 5.75m (his value, i only ever got offers like this before), however this time round i was getting offers of £10m, now the market is just far more realistic that i can get money for my players. Just sold a backup left winger worth 1.7m for 4m, pretty much what you could expect to pay for him from a computer team so im ery happy now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koki Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Seems some people are playing a different game to me. Can we agree on that some people have this problem and some don't? Might also depend on the leagues you load. Anyways.. In 11.2 there was definitely a lack of AI bids for me. I have a team full of world-class players who all the big-cash teams were always interested in (Real, Barcelona, ManUtd, ManCity...) but they almost never even tried to buy them by putting in a simple bid equal to their market value. Haven't played 11.3 enough to say whether things have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
