Transfers

I can't seem to buy or sell any players?

In the first 3 weeks of starting a new team, you are not allow to either buy or sell players.  This is because new players often made the mistake of selling some of their best players not realizing that getting a player of that quality maybe difficult in the future or new players bought to many players and we bankrupt in a very short period of time.  This forces players to spend a bit of time to understand the game so they can be the most out of it.

What is the transfer deadline, why does it sometimes change, when do I get my player?

The transfer deadline is the time by which you need to have made your bid.  The last person that has made a bid by the deadline has the player.  The deadline will be extended if bidding is made very close to the deadline.  This stops bidders from placing a bid dead on the transfer deadline.  Once you have won a bid, the player will join your team 24-25 hours after the deadline.  At the same time your player starts, funds will be taken out of your team and transferred to the team that sold the player.   Also note that the player can play for his original team right up to the point he is transferred (ie 24 hours after the deadline).

How do I know if I won the bid?

If the play is in "Office->Transfers -> Your Bid"  after the deadline then you have won the bid.  Note that this is the deadline you see in the "Your Bid" not the original deadline that might have changed.

If the player is not in  "Your Bid"  then you have been outbid.  Goto the "Clubhouse -> Home" page and can see who outbid you.

No-one bought my player and he is still on my list of players for transfer

If no-one bided for your player, he will return to your club 24 hours after the transfer period. You cannot put him back on sale or sack him until he returns to your club.

I am using playing monitoring to check a player I want to bid on but it isnt updating

The player monitoring page does seem to update very frequently.  The best way to get the latest update is to get the players ID from the player monitoring page and then goto the transfer section and do a search using the player ID. 

I sold a player but didn’t get all the money from the deal

You always get taxed on the profit.  The way the profit is calculated and the tax is dependent on how you got the player, here are 3 scenarios:

REMEMBER: If profit is negative then you will not get taxed.

Player you had on your team when you started

Here the profit is calculated as profit = Player selling price - Value of player

In this scenarios you will be taxed 20% of the profit.

Player you bought on the transfer market and resold later

Here the profit is calculated as profit = Player selling price - Price paid for player

1. If you sell a player within 5 weeks of buying him: 95% of the profits will be deducted in taxes
2. If you sell a player between 6-13 weeks of buying him: 50% of the profits will be deducted.
3. If you sell a player after having him for 13 weeks: the tax is 20% of the profits.

Player came from your youth academy

Here the profit is calculated as profit = Player selling price - Value of player

- 18 year olds 50% of the profits are taxed
- 19 year olds 40% of the profits are taxed
- 20 year olds 30% of the profits are taxed
- 21+ year olds 20% of the profits are taxed

Example: If you buy a player for £20,000 and one week later you sell him for £30,000, you would have made £10,000 profit. Unfortunately because it was within the 5 weeks, you will be taxed at 95% on that profit leaving you a gain of £500.  So although you sold him for £30,000, you will only get £20,500 from the sell..

What does the Exclamation mark (!) on a player in the transfer market mean ?

It means that the player is under surveillance because his team is suspected of cheating because the amount bid is so much higher than the value of the player.  Some players however are so special that many people bid high amounts and the bid isnt actually a cheat.
