Fair point Novak, if I had the time, I would probably do similar! Are you putting in new players as well then? You haven't upped huddersfields players at all have you...

Totally fair Melton though it can be hard to resist! Think Hudds came 17th on my last test run so not too shabby really.

The only flaw is with the new players. I don't really want to age the existing players as you need certain people playing in certain tournaments, especially with the game starting in July 07, but it's a bit of a bugbear having people like Rooney and Cleverley of a similar age. I could start the new players as 14 year olds but their development can be temperamental so I just grin and bear it. Also, the likes of Eto'o, Henry and Drogba are always almost immediately bought by big European teams which is a tad annoying. I'll suss something out!

You could always set a retirement date for the players you don't want to ever move clubs. That way they never sign for anyone else.

Not a bad plan Keith also thought about putting them on loan at their clubs for 5+ years, maybe setting a future transfer date to the same club at the end of the loan, should take them deep into their thirties and off the wish lists of Milan, Madrid and Juve.

Have you cheated yet hudd?

Son

Only problem with doing all those loans is that you can only have a certain number of loan players in your squad.

Can you not just edit the starting season then?

I meant the other way around, e.g. Drogba is loaned from Chelsea to Shenhua for 3/4 years, with no recall clause and a future transfer set up to them at the end of the loan. Stick him on 300k a week and not many clubs would approach a 30something player on that money.

Gonna try it out. Should have finished my January window update by tonight!

Is the starting season hardcoded Novak?
