Price of players too low in comparison with real life?

[Cedrik]

Although players are in general definitely not cheap I still feel a lot of times the current market (of extremes) is not represented well enough in FM :). Especially players from smaller leagues going to bigger leagues, transfer for just a few million pounds whereas in real life also these players would cost a lot of money. 

Now maybe I'm the only one with this opinion, dunno. That's why I wanted to see how other people here feel about this

I agree. I've used the Editor to change transfer values across countries, so that swiping a good regen from low-value countries is no longer a "cheat".  Also increased decent rep player transfer values and wages, to make it harder to pick up a high PA youth for dirt cheap and lock into a 4yr contract on next-to-nothing wages. Done some testing and it looks much better

I don't get this. In real life it's full of young players bought super cheap from ''low-value countries'' that become really good players.

Back up your claims with large scale evidence of real life transfer fees compared to FM & I’m sure that SI would be happy to make any changes to rectify.

It's just my way to play. To Make things harder and remove my tendency to just pick up cheap young talent, but use players of all ages

By doing this you also lift a players overall value. So then you get an average player of Burnley who is worth 35 million.

That is difficult as often players haven't made a transfer yet in real life. So then my claims will be made upon the fees of other transfers or media assumptions. 

But I think it is very understandable that someone like De Ligt (Ajax) will not move to a European top team for 10 million. More likely the double or the triple of that as we also saw with Davinson Sanchez going to Spurs.

Ryan Sessegnon for £10m from Fulham. They'd laugh in your face if you offered them that in real life.

True, but that's why I tested it, to not increase it too much, and just increase the middle rep values, because if you look in the editor, there's a big jump from 111-120 to 121-130 and so on, so a player who's 120 rep can cost say $1m, but 121 and he's $4m. I just smoothed things out a bit so a young, high PA player normally $500k is $1m. But a player normally $30m is still $30m.

This is exactly again a good example of what I mean. Buying players from competitions with a lower reputation should be tweaked.
