There is one other thing that works 90% of the time with players that are willing to go but have no one interested in them. After you offer them out and no one bids, there is an option in the lower right corner to "persuade the player to find a new club". Usually, they'll come after a couple of weeks with some random club they are willing to go to that makes an offer.

I am a lot more brutal when selling players. I tend to drop them to youth teams and tell them they aren’t wanted, then I offer them out for more money and when nobody bids I ask them to look for clubs. Then I offer them out for free to get teams interested and then reject offers and offer them to individual clubs. Works wonders as a big team and can sell most players in first few weeks. Eg started at Hamburg had Sven Ulreich valued at 3 million and had just signed and didn’t want to leave, did this and got 9 million from Ajax for him.

The unwanted list function is actually really good if you haven't used it. You need to mess with DOF responsibilities and attributes to get it right but when you have a DOF with good negotiation you can essentially click 5 players into the list, set your terms and then wait for the final click to come in your newsfeed. I do this at the start of new saves and when the new season kicks in, it seems to annoy players less than being transfer listed and offered out manually.

Also pretty good to just click on transfer and pick some "reasonable" amount when you only get a loan offer in instead of a transfer offer, doesn't always work and they reject pretty often but from time to time it works.

Bro, you forgot about offering them a mutual contract termination. Sometimes they will accept it for no fee, and then you've got them off your books. Either that or you anger them and then they're more apt to want to leave.

I miss this type of educational videos with all the entertainment D: So much changed in FM that new videos about the same topics would we so awesome to have! Love you Z

i don’t even play FM nor do i watch it, just one day you randomly appeared on my recommended and you could say i’m entertained, very.

Great tips, Z. The trick that worked great for me was actually putting unwanted players on the game squad, on the last sub#6 or sub#7, and put them in already-won last 15min of the games. I don't care if they only come up to 6.0 on their game score, the main goal here is keeping them running with the squad to keep their interest from other clubs high and getting much faster and higher offers for them

Let me be the first to say that the offer out option to target specific clubs is a godsend. I played my way up from Brazilian Serie C to Serie A and as I’m in Brazil I have a lot of Brazilian wonderkids that are just coming up through the ranks (now that I’m as big as flamengo). When they start to get agitated because Man United and Liverpool start looking at the player I can offer my player directly to man united Liverpool workout labeling him as surplus and sell him without hurting the dynamics of my club.

Yea it actually worked for me a couple times. I had 2 dudes that were "wanted" but whenever i would just offer to clubs in general, nobody would bite. I targeted the clubs that allegedly wanted them, and they both offered.

Hey Zealand, great stuff as always. However, you have missed one key point. If you are managing a club with good finances and don't want to keep a certain player, you can offer some of his wages out while transfer listing him. I have several instances where some greedy players wants contract after 6 good matches in an entire season, I make them angrier by not giving them contracts and immediately kicking them out by offering out some wages. But this case is only applicable if you're managing clubs with deep pockets. Teams tend to offer good amount of money if you lock some salary of the selling player. Also, the contribution lasts till the player's contract, so a win win if you calculate your net earning from the transfer. Example: Kolo toure had high wages and I didn't wanted in my club, offered him out without contract contribution, none of the club's were interested because of his fat paycheck. Then I offered him out with a min of 7k per week (lowest option) and kept it at yellow so that the club's won't increase that by much and 2-3 club's took the bait and paid me 5 mil. So 5 mil - 350k is my net profit (1 year contract with 7 k per week)

a little trick for people who want a big database is to create one with the leagues you want and then after its created and you can pick a team save that as an extra game. so you can always use a big database without having to create it each time and sitting there for hours everytime.

Fantastic... I'm currently having these issues! Thanks again!

Josh Harrop haven't heard that name in a few years scored a screamer on his debut and dipped

Perfect timing, got this exact problem now

I always use the "future matches play" thingy, it let me get more money than their original offer most of the time but I usually pay 1/2 of the players wages when loan him out because the club that want to buy him can't afford and I make sure to have him as important player/ regular starter when loaning them out.

Nice video. (apart from the unwanted list option that was mentioned in other commentaries already,) you forgot the trade option: look for a decent club he might wanne join, or that might be able to pay the wages... and which got a player that is kinda interesting for yourself, then try a trade. you will have to add some money, most likely, but its still a valuable option if you really want to get rid of someone who isn't willing to leave or who you can't sell because of high wages.

The top Greek teams are of the extremes. They'll develop their young players (Greek or foreign) while they'll also sign four or five ageing players on free transfers. Usually, the transfers between clubs are free transfers and, in some cases, the buying team pays a hefty amount in compensation to help the selling club after losing a player. The fact that most transfers are free allows them to have more wage budget available to them, hence the higher wages that might appear.

And then there's Bale. I don't think even Zealand could offload Bale without paying him out of his remaining contract.

The way I’ve been save scumming trying to sell Kepa in my 2nd season w Chelsea.. is sickening😭😭 this video came at the perfect time for me

Great video, thank you!

I've had some success (by now means universal, though) on occasion offering players out specifically to a club who is showing 'major interest' in him. Can be particularly effective if there are a couple of clubs showing interest who aren't in terrible financial positions; you can potentially get a bidding war started that way.

A few notes on the target club feature. 1) It really needs the option of Target All Interested Clubs 2) I find this feature useful when offering players for loan. There's an option to target all clubs from x nation. I find this great when I've bought a foreign youngster not ready for the 1st team who doesn't speak the language. Let him go to his home country, train/play in a familiar environment and have him on a language course at the same time.

"Playing on a smart toaster" 😄

Love your videos Zealand

When selling Ive found setting selling team wage contribution to £1 per week as its the lowest it can go and it keeps the offers higher and teams interested. idk if it actually works or that it just looks like it does but it might be worth testing

Countries that over pay players: Mexico. For real, my club's second highest earner plays with the under 20 team.

One key to angering players is also setting their squad status to 'surplus to requirements'

Ha the anger tactics - anyone remember in early champs/FM's when you would fine the player a weeks wages as often as you could just because so they would get so p****d off they'd leave. I remember I think it was Ray Wallace from Leeds on FM93 just would not leave and after months he finally would and you'd have the reaction that Zealand had at the start of this video!

u can try to offer a player out with unspecified amount and select installments totaling your selling price. teams will counter with cash offers up to that value

If you really want a challenge try selling Pastore (AS Roma) before his contract expires. Used most of these options and have been unsuccessful in 3 different saves

Imagine if nuss watched this his reaction would be gold

I've come back to this video so many times, it's insane. I especially liked how you pointed out how overpaid English players are. I tend to stockpile young talent and it's always funny to me when some 16 year old who plays for Man City's youth academy's C team demands 100k a year. FOH!

The trick to getting team leaders off the team is reducing their playing time slowly over while having someone better playing in their position, basically their replacement should be getting 2-3 times more gametime, but dont reduce the playing time drastically, if he played every game in a 2 game week, make that 1 game a week and the next month 1 game every other week and maintain that or you could go down to once a month but the may not be too pleased

Oh yes, the Greek Super League. The place where the 3 big teams overpay 35 year olds and everyone else is fighting to stay afloat.

I spend the first 3 years of nearly ever save just tying to get rid of all of the oldies, youth team fillers, and the players who will never get a game for me. The board usually gets really upset at me for letting a lot of them go for super cheap. But if I can use the wages from 3 players who will never play on a player who will actually make a difference, so be it.

awesome stuff bro.. i will anger players into submission now!

when im in this situation, i lower the players squad status a level or two (other teams see i wont fight over his price cos he aint important to me) & move them to the reserves, if they have want a convo with me about unhappiness- i tell them they're leaving. both of these combined usually make players agitate for any move.

I found out that more clubs are interested in buying the players you're offering out on transfer deadline day, I guess it's because they lost a player on deadline day. It's risky but waiting for deadline day can save you a couple of million dollars (or pesos).

Unfortunately A-League teams are very restricted by a salary cap. Which is currently 2.43m person with a minimum spend of 1.7m there are several exemptions to this Marquee players and the like but they need approval of the governing body. The average wage is currently somewhere between 45k and 62.5k per year.

This video might save my Burnley career, no one will make offers for my players even though we got champions league last year

Just add manager, simple guarantee 15 mil aswell 🤣

I have just one question: Is the contract compensation a one off fee or a diffrent version of wage contribution?

Is there something to be said here about how you structure players' contracts in the first place? Like, if you agree a contract with a relatively low wage but offset that with higher appearance fees and other bonuses (esp. loyalty), I think it makes it easier to offload them (either on loan or sale) when the time comes. Also, using the 'optional extension' clauses, so that if a player ages or doesn't improve as you expect, you can simply not use the club's option to extend and hey-presto, their contract ends. Has anyone else used these approaches?

Got a vice captain that actually isn’t that highly regarded in the dressing room and is a 3 star on my team about to hit 30. Planning to get rid of him this summer but I’m scared about how that’s gonna go

So what "it" is .. you loan the player to a club who has the money ( the easiest way to find that out are the finance part[Secure is not good enough most of the times] and their previous league positions ) and make sure that the player is at least a 'squad player' for them .. in his last month of being on loan .. put his asking price at 4x what he's valued now ( if they're not offering you what you've asked .. slowly come down to 1.5 of what his value is or whatever you had in mind .. and if that's not working .. and there's still 2 or more years on his contract .. you can loan him out another year and try this at the end of his loan again) if he's been a help to that team and they got the money .. they'll buy him I did this with my Chelsea save ( very easy with Chelsea in fm20) With Cambridge United ( fm20 .. it was harder .. cuz rarely that team had the money to buy the player but when we got to Championship and then PL it got easier ) and I've done it in fm21 with En Avant Guingamp in Ligue 1

As Barnsley it is frustrating because your high valuation players earn too much so noone can afford their wages then the players you do get offers for have crazy low valuations. So I can't sell a player I get £10m offers for but I get offers of 250k for my other players.
