FelixForte Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 When doing business with smaller clubs, there is often a clause being added to arrange a friendly match with that club. This could provide those clubs with significant additional income. However, i notice that in practice there is no reason / incentive to actually stay true to your word on this? I don't see the calendar being filled up with friendlies against these teams and I think that typically they do not even happen. Is this a bug?

When you organise a friendly, the club appears as an option when it didn't before. It still has to be at a time when it's reasonable for the club to be free.

But there is no consequence of not doing so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of not arranging the friendly? You lose the potential income. I don't think the option returns once the time is up. When you're a lower league club and a big fish takes the player, the gate income can be worth vastly more than the transfer fee.

FelixForte Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Sorry i meant it the other way around. Say i'm a big club buying a player and promising to the selling (smaller) club that we'll play a friendly. I would have to schedule it and there's no consequence of me not doing it?

Scotty Walds Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The onus is on the selling club to take advantage of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
