I've been playing FM for about 25 years and the I completely agree, the transfer market in the past few years is horrendous. Every time I want to buy a player, I need to pay 10 times more than is value. But the AI? Maybe a few millions more.
So if a player is valued at 10m, his team will demand 100m from me. But if the next day the AI will make an offer, then 15m from the AI is enough. Only if this player is in my shortlist, I will get notified about this offer, and MAYBE then, I can also offer 15m. All the time I see the AI buy players in decent prices, and it drives me crazy, because I need to offer much much more.
This is exactly my point. Those are all players bought by AI teams. That is why the price is fair.
First of all, beautiful skin!!! Which one is it?
But that's what I'm talking about. Players' price and wages demands are not reasonable. Furthermore, a player that makes 10k/w asks me (Barcelona) for 100k/w. I offer him less, let's say, 70k. He ended up signing in Man City for 50k. I won every title in the past two years, and he still signed for much less for another club. And this is just one example. Almost every player I fight with another club, will decline my offer and sign for less somewhere else.
Meet Jose. 16 y/o Jose plays for the u19 Albacete team, and makes 675 p/w. No I did not forget the'0' or k. he makes 675 a week. He wants me to pay him 75k/w!!!
Now what happens if I want to sell a player? haha very funny. You will have to sell him for much less than his value. You can have Haaland and PSG decides they want him, Sure, they will offer much less. And then the player is angry you rejected the offer.
