Titi 14 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 So does any1 buy them? Quality players with good stats that just had a bad season? Newcastle got relegated on my save which brings into play a lot of quality players all of which played badly Would it be worth signing them and will they perform?

DirtyJoe Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes. I always look at the relegated teams, but will wait until June 15th or thereabouts until I put in bids. I have you need to wait until the team has actually dropped to that division, otherwise you end up paying to much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like to have a look to see if there are any decent players available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titi 14 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 No 1 really worried about there poor season then long as the stats are there ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 nope. and i just scooped up Robbie Cotton on a free after blackburn got relegated, he has great potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandyDon Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 No 1 really worried about there poor season then long as the stats are there ? Well you might not necessarily want to buy the entire defence of a relegated team But if you're fairly confident in your tactic and there's a player in a relegated team with good attributes who'd fit in with your plans then definitely go for it. Put them in a winning side, get their confidence back up and they'll be fine. And if you're looking at a relegated Newcastle side and they still have Cabaye....get him quick.

Titi 14 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Lol yeah that's just 1 of my targets already have a contract offer in for him but so do Liverpool and arsenal so doubt he will come to brum but u never know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilo_G Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Stoke got relegated on my game so I got a cut-price Ryan Shawcross. I was wary at first but he is fantastic, even took a wage cut. I'd recommend looking at relegated teams before any others if you're on a budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casanova Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Never had a problem buying from relegated teams before. Infact when I gain promotion to the PL, I look at the relegated teams for any cheap gems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanH91 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 PLaying with Wolves and just got promoted. Wigan, West Brom and Reading have been relegated and I've got bids in for about 8 players from those James McCarthy looks really good so I hope he chooses me over Newcastle. Also snapped up Stuart Holden after Bolton got relegated to League 1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I find it an issue if I'm with a promoted side that the players don't seem to recognise this until the season update at which point other teams have come in for them. Scott MUFC, I always sign Cotton, appears that Blackburn release him not matter what at end of 1st season. I am Sheff Weds and he joined me after season 1 with promotion to Championship, doesn't play 1st team but always get decent offers in at end of 1st season from orem sides, around £1.5m, so nice profit for no money!!

Cougar2010 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 No 1 really worried about there poor season then long as the stats are there ? Its about consistency and position. If a midfielder averaged 6.8 in a relegated team he has done fairly well and if previous seasons are 7.0+ then chances are he is a consistent player whose season was dragged down by a poor team. Put him in a better side and I would bet he would do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 If a player I'm interested in looks like he would be a decent signing, I'll sign him no matter where he's from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman260497 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I got Chris samba from Blackburn when they got relegated on my save in his prime for £8 million, went on to be my captain and lift multiple league and champions league titles for my arsenal side and retired a club legend, probably my best signing ever on fm12.

Mattias333 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Certainly worth checking the relegated teams. Just because he may have had a bad season (playing in a poor team that got relegated remember) does not mean there isnt good players. Depends what stature player your looking for. Obviously a 5/5 world class player is unlikely (but not unheard of). Sometimes a change of club is exactly what a player needs. Take Wolves in real life. Even though in real life they have gone for waaaaaaaay over the top transfer fee's players like Matt Jarvis, Steven Fletcher, Michael Kightly etc....have been snapped up by Premier League teams even though Wolves had a horrid season. All good players too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTYOP Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Absolutely. I always scan relegated squads to see if there's anybody worth picking up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It's especially worthwhile if a relegated team had one stand-out player carrying the team - big fish in a small pond and all that. It isn't that uncommon; especially as the game goes on, the AI managers often make a lot of terrible signings (getting them relegated) but manage to pick up one gem of a player at an early age who matures over a couple of seasons and ends up a cut above the rest.
