Help ! - Low League Player Recruitment


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first post and I have tried looking to see if anyone else has posted about this but cannot find anything.  Please don't have a go if there is something.

 

I have currently taken over managing Bognor Regis after they have managed to get promoted to Vanarama National League in England but I cannot get any decent players to sign for me and so it look like I will be going down again.

Please can someone help me or give me some tips on how to sign some good players to help me move up leagues. I have been working my way through the list of players who are out of contract and no one will take a risk in signing for me :-(

 

Not sure what to do!

I have the same issue on my Margate save - just got promoted to the conference and one of the toughest transfer windows in recent memory.

A few things to bear in mind:

  • If you've just been promoted, then it's likely players and media see you as relegation favourites for next season. Players will be reluctant to come on loan or sign if they think they'll be in a relegation scrap
  • Squad depth - players may be uncomfortable signing if you lack depth in that position
  • Do business early - a part from loans, I try to get my top 2 or three targets the moment the seasons ended, and keep a bit of wage budget back (approx. 10%) to get these deals over the line.

Just keep plugging away - I signed a couple just as the season started as some players will hold out for a higher offer then sign for you if there's no alternative. Life's tough at the bottom! :-)

Did you release a lot of your existing squad in preparation for signing better players? That happened to me, and I could only sign players that werent even good enough for the vns...
