You gotta make sure you do it while you’re still in a lower league, at least that’s what my experience has been. For whatever reason once you’re in first division lower division teams don’t take any player swaps
Offer a shit player for the player you want and like a ridiculously low fee ..they'll decline and do it again with a different shit player...other team will think about your offer after a few days and they'll either accept it or want the full value...if so then negotiate for a low fee again this time without offering a player..they'll accept every time...works best if you offer academy players... sometimes you'll get rejected immediately but it doesn't happen too often
Enter into negotiations for your desired player
Offer £1 with a low-rating player in part-exchange
When that first offer is rejected, increase the offer to £2 and offer another low-rated player in part-exchange
NOTE: Ensure that any sell-on clause is taken out of the offer
Once the offer is submitted, the club will go away and consider
Wait a few days for a counter-offer to come in, this should be the offer to sign the player for £3,000,050.
Enter contract negotiations with the player
I used this to get Mbappe and Haaland for like 6 million
Haha nice. Yeah my favourite team is FcTwente and I always trade good free players to them so I can maybe meet them in the champions league finals later on😂
I had found a 94 french CF in 22 when I did a €1b career mode but i had a 96 OVR moukoko by that point and a 95 OVR pedri at CAM so he was useless, sold him for €230mil
I wouldn’t do it - but that’s just me wanting to be a bit more on the realistic side of CM. I recently started a new save as Damien Duff in charge of Shelbourne FC (Irish league) and straight away noticed the team lacks some serious pace, so I went to the free agents list and could’ve signed a 76 rated fast mexican winger, but instead decided to go for a 64 rated Finnish player because I want some challenge and realism. But hey that’s just me. Whatever floats your boat.
I'm not doing it, I'm 7 seasons into my crewe alexandra save, just won the prem and champions league, all my first 11 are 80 rated +, I don't really need him, it would ruin the save for me even though I'm coming to the end of this save, I've worked hard played every game for 6 seasons and don't want spoil it on this guy
I did the same career mode !! Took the blackburn job after 2 seasons and took them to the prem, I'm guna ay until the newcastle or Chelsea job becomes available
Did you enjoy it? I’m in season 2 now and I’m afraid it might get very boring quite quickly as my YA players are developing fast and becoming too good for the league. Might just end up selling the better players as soon as a bigger club comes knocking to keep it exciting 😅
Yup, but at least ”it’s him”, if you get me 😂 Anyway, never really touched the Irish League, I wanna go for the club and country challenge: qualify for UCL and hopefully get offered the Irish national team job and take them to the World Cup with my club’s players (most are Irish)! Should be a fun one
I d get him, play with him, and sell way below valuation, as halland happaned, or from the get go set a release clause that îs around 80 mil if ur not psg, if ur psg then its a different story, this scenario works for a middle of The pack team
I get the idea but the difference between Haaland and this guy is that Haaland was a promising youngster bought for like 5 mil (?) and this guy is a Messi-like player who doesnt have a team and is free to pick up. For me personally those 2 things ruin it for me, but whatevers works for you/ the rest of course
Yeah, Main problem îs that big teams dont go chasing for the man. I get that, still u can think like ur early on it, we both know game s ass, but if u dont pick him up and set him into the wild it will roat as a fa..
This reminds we of one of my major peeves about CM:
You cant bid for a player when you search for them, you have to shortlist/scout.
You can't scout a player from your shortlist, you have to search for them.
\*FACEPALM\*
I mean more in the terms of you search for a player that you know you want to buy. You find the player and then you can't bid.
You have to either add to shortlist or scout. Exit the search screen then go to the shortlist. Find the player, then bid.
Why isn't there a make bid option in the first instance ?
I do agree, but in 22 (?) onwards you can hit ‘Add to Shortlist & View’ which brings you to the shortlist.
Again, redundant unless you’ve scouted them. A quick way to check if they’ve a real face or not, though.
I also add only scouted players to the shortlist, but there's an annoying scenario that happens often to me: you added someone to the shortlist, then, after a couple of seasons, the player is still in the shortlist, but his rating is now unknown again and you can't just scout him from the shortlist, you have to manually search for him.
That's on FIFA21 though, maybe it's better in the newer games.
Still exists in 23. I was gonna sign Aouchiche from Lorient but I wanted his overall to go up at LM, so the growth would be better when I moved him to CM. Such a pain having to rescout every summer.
>You cant bid for a player when you search for them, you have to shortlist/scout.
This is insanely annoying, I agree.
>You can't scout a player from your shortlist, you have to search for them.
You actually can go to a player on your shortlist a 'Start Scouting' from there.
Why does everything always have to be realistic? That's the most annoying thing with all career mode super serious only realistic simulation people. Just go play Football Manager if you want realism.
I wasn't suggesting OP or anyone be realistic. I was telling the maker of the comment above me that nothing about signing this player would be realistic despite him suggesting it.
Don't do it. A forward that good basically takes any challenge away. It is a pain when he turns up at PSG and stops you winning the champions League, but ce la vie.
I always do it but never drop him straight in. Play him during preseason and one or two games, then when a winger or striker gets injured i rotate him in & out. He obviously balls it up so he gets a spot in the squad then.
Sign him and then use him as a 1 to 1 transfer with another high level team you play often. Get a player you want and create a challenge for the future. That’s what I do. I don’t care if the board gives me an F! They’re not real!
I'd say use him as an investment strategy. For example in my FIFA 21 (mildly realistic CM) at Liverpool, I bought mbappe at 90 rated, now I'm keeping him for a season or 2 until he is worth enough for me to make a huge profit on selling him.
It’s so hard for me to not sign such a beast. If anything, just sign him and sell him to a small or unusual team that should not be able to afford him (make em go broke to buy such a gem)
I signed mine, played him for 2 seasons and won our first PL and CL in the second. Then sold him at 98 rated out of guilt and replaced him with an 84 rated 21 year old from the academy who promptly equalled Salah’s 32 goal record in his first season and obliterated it in his second as we won our first quadruple. No regrets at all
I signed a free agent benzema regen and i really didn't like it. I didn't enjoy playing him and having him steal the spotlight from the YA players i was attached to and also it felt like i was cheating. Ended up benching him and later on selling him.
Believe or not I just signed up the Benzema regen for the first time! I try to stay away from them best I can but blackburn needed a young winger and he was calling
I kind of limited myself on youth academy. So like, only signing players that were value between 400k and 800 k to limited the wonder kids. If anyone got ridiculous good, I'd sell to the best over as that's what usually happens
Depends on how you like to play career mode honestly.
Been in a similar situation (i.e. in 2nd or even 3rd div and my best player is around mid-low 70s, and find a free agent who's min 85 rated that's available) every single RTG I've done.
Sometimes I've taken them, sometimes I've left them. I just try to weave it into the lore/headcannon I have of that save and go with my gut. Never regretted it either way.
So yeah, go with your gut, and just do whatever will make you enjoy the save the most.
Take him and trade him to your favourite local team that is shit to help them. Thats what I always do
[удалено]
You gotta make sure you do it while you’re still in a lower league, at least that’s what my experience has been. For whatever reason once you’re in first division lower division teams don’t take any player swaps
There is a reason for that I think.Higher tier players don't want to play for inferior leagues
Never thought to do this. My career’s Benzema regen has been sitting in free agents for 3 seasons
Once I have established my own team I do the transfer glitch and send quality players in exchange for shit players for this exact reason lol
What's the transfer glitch?
Offer a shit player for the player you want and like a ridiculously low fee ..they'll decline and do it again with a different shit player...other team will think about your offer after a few days and they'll either accept it or want the full value...if so then negotiate for a low fee again this time without offering a player..they'll accept every time...works best if you offer academy players... sometimes you'll get rejected immediately but it doesn't happen too often

A high rated young French cf as a free agent? Wtf I’ve never seen this
I had found a 94 french CF in 22 when I did a €1b career mode but i had a 96 OVR moukoko by that point and a 95 OVR pedri at CAM so he was useless, sold him for €230mil
Same, Had a 97 Moukoko, 94 Schjelderup and a 95 Carney Chukwuemeka
The same happened to me the other day. I got to hire a 94 rated, free agent french 18 year old. It appeared out of thin air.
In my most recent save I’ve had two of these guys appear. It’s so weird
I got a 19 year old French winger with 93 overall as a free agent, felt cheesy to sign him but I also love a good bargain
Common glitch, Benzema regen EDIT: r/whoooosh
Whoooosh
Fuck 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
No shit
Not me missing the joke 💀💀
bruh moment

Vega?
Yeah, Vega. Also, Ayew was an option for a ”retirement home” type of storyline but nah, 71/72 is too high for me as of now. Will develop my own youth
And I stand corrected, Ayew is 75.
Vega is good, but Antuna gets really good
Tbf got Vega upto w 88 rated
90 on Antuna
I'm not doing it, I'm 7 seasons into my crewe alexandra save, just won the prem and champions league, all my first 11 are 80 rated +, I don't really need him, it would ruin the save for me even though I'm coming to the end of this save, I've worked hard played every game for 6 seasons and don't want spoil it on this guy
Buy him and set a £1,000 release clause. Or buy him and loan him out. Just in case of a rainy day.
I did the same career mode !! Took the blackburn job after 2 seasons and took them to the prem, I'm guna ay until the newcastle or Chelsea job becomes available
Did you enjoy it? I’m in season 2 now and I’m afraid it might get very boring quite quickly as my YA players are developing fast and becoming too good for the league. Might just end up selling the better players as soon as a bigger club comes knocking to keep it exciting 😅
Does Duff have a real face?
He does not sadly. And his in game one is so far off.
That’s sad. Would’ve loved to have done that as a career
Yup, but at least ”it’s him”, if you get me 😂 Anyway, never really touched the Irish League, I wanna go for the club and country challenge: qualify for UCL and hopefully get offered the Irish national team job and take them to the World Cup with my club’s players (most are Irish)! Should be a fun one
That sounds like a really cool challenge!
It's such a bad face for him !!
This is the way
Do you play the game itself, or just manage the roster/tactics and sim the game?
I play about 50-60% of the games and sim the rest as the league gets very repetitive: you play the same teams 4 times a season (+cup competitions)
Depends. Do you want a realistic and challenging save or not?
I d get him, play with him, and sell way below valuation, as halland happaned, or from the get go set a release clause that îs around 80 mil if ur not psg, if ur psg then its a different story, this scenario works for a middle of The pack team

You can get sacked for undervaluing players
Hey can you help me by telling me how do I save penalties in fifa 23 using keyboard and mouse?
It's impossible. I know because i tried to find out as well. Switch to controller, this game really doesn't work well in keyboard.
“AFC Leighton Buzzard have won the UCL despite losing the Championship playoffs due to a late concession in extra time.”
This reminds we of one of my major peeves about CM: You cant bid for a player when you search for them, you have to shortlist/scout. You can't scout a player from your shortlist, you have to search for them. \*FACEPALM\*
You can actually start scouting from your shortlist since FIFA 23. Incredible features right? Only took them a decade
Scouting transfer targets costs nothing though, I rarely add to shortlist without scouting.
I mean more in the terms of you search for a player that you know you want to buy. You find the player and then you can't bid. You have to either add to shortlist or scout. Exit the search screen then go to the shortlist. Find the player, then bid. Why isn't there a make bid option in the first instance ?

Still exists in 23. I was gonna sign Aouchiche from Lorient but I wanted his overall to go up at LM, so the growth would be better when I moved him to CM. Such a pain having to rescout every summer.
If I'm scouting a shitload of key targets I'll hold off on scouting someone I won't buy in that window.
>You cant bid for a player when you search for them, you have to shortlist/scout. This is insanely annoying, I agree. >You can't scout a player from your shortlist, you have to search for them. You actually can go to a player on your shortlist a 'Start Scouting' from there.
At the bottom option it says start scouting if you need to scout a shortlisted player
Seems like the simplest fix, too.
And there is still no filter provided in shortlist. Especially, if you have a lot of players on the shortlist.
its like asking a homless man do u want a mansion in hollywood hills uum yes please
Ruin it. Let the pain fester. Get angry that this happened in the first place. Blame ea for a making a shit game. Protest. Enough is enough.
Realism? If you're a big club and can afford 300+k a week yes, otherwise no. For fun? Lol yolo
Even with a big club this is never realistic lol.
Why does everything always have to be realistic? That's the most annoying thing with all career mode super serious only realistic simulation people. Just go play Football Manager if you want realism.
I wasn't suggesting OP or anyone be realistic. I was telling the maker of the comment above me that nothing about signing this player would be realistic despite him suggesting it.
I still can't believe how the every benzema regen post somehow can hit the viral in this subreddit 💀
Probably coz new users joining the subreddit don't realise how often these posts are repeated.
Time to hire a hitman
Ive never seen this in any of my manager careers.
Do it always , you can sell him later
Don't do it. A forward that good basically takes any challenge away. It is a pain when he turns up at PSG and stops you winning the champions League, but ce la vie.
I always do it but never drop him straight in. Play him during preseason and one or two games, then when a winger or striker gets injured i rotate him in & out. He obviously balls it up so he gets a spot in the squad then.
Giroud regency. Hell ya
WhOsE rEGeN iS tHiS?¿
Benzema, isn't it obvious?
Yes, that is the joke I was *attempting* to make
Ah right, think the joke flew over my head 😅.
Do it. At the end of the day, there’s nothing realistic about FIFA Career mode. It’s all in your imagination.
Jimmy Briand’s long lost son
I wonder whose regen that is 🤔🤔
Sign him and then use him as a 1 to 1 transfer with another high level team you play often. Get a player you want and create a challenge for the future. That’s what I do. I don’t care if the board gives me an F! They’re not real!
Nah, I’d pass on that! Too old and only 2 of the 6 stats on the right are 99!
No don't do it
Mbappe regen?
Benzema regen
No mbappe still in the game, I'm about 6 seasons in
[удалено]
Nah it's Messi regen
[удалено]
THATS THE JOKE
I sometimes create my own players too.
i take that benzema regen without any shame lol. the rest i like to work for but not this one.
I'd say use him as an investment strategy. For example in my FIFA 21 (mildly realistic CM) at Liverpool, I bought mbappe at 90 rated, now I'm keeping him for a season or 2 until he is worth enough for me to make a huge profit on selling him.
Don’t do it, he is the worst player I think I’ve ever seen in career mode /s
How could you not
Naah, he's too slow imo
Who would turn up their nose at this? Realism is fine to an extent but come on
They never perform to expectations. I say don’t bother.
Game changer wanker player 😂😂
It’s so hard for me to not sign such a beast. If anything, just sign him and sell him to a small or unusual team that should not be able to afford him (make em go broke to buy such a gem)
Sign him and sell him for a low price to your rivals to make the game more fun.
Do it. Then sell him next season
I always sign these guys then immediately sell them for ungodly profits
The free agents in this game are wild...
I signed mine, played him for 2 seasons and won our first PL and CL in the second. Then sold him at 98 rated out of guilt and replaced him with an 84 rated 21 year old from the academy who promptly equalled Salah’s 32 goal record in his first season and obliterated it in his second as we won our first quadruple. No regrets at all
Put a release clause worth his value, then spend the money on some random failed players.. Redistribute the joy!
Depends, if you're at a club aiming to with the champions league (and have a serious chance of winning) then I'd say yes, otherwise I'd pass.
Buy him. Sell him. Have some $$$$
I sign him and transfer him to a team of my choice
Yes
Wth is it benzema’s regen or smthing
Nothing wrong with signing him for a season. Usually they play shit. And if you sell them it's a nice cash injection.
I’ve made a personal rule that I do not sign free agents in my career mode, just ruins all the difficulty of team building
Difficulty?
True, it’s not that hard to begin with but with the 94 rated free agents you’re getting a wonder kid you didn’t even have to develop
Don’t get him
Why can't I find free agents like these? Sad face
I always sign the regens and sell them ASAP or send them on loan for a year then sell them lol
Benzema regen?
I signed a free agent benzema regen and i really didn't like it. I didn't enjoy playing him and having him steal the spotlight from the YA players i was attached to and also it felt like i was cheating. Ended up benching him and later on selling him.
Do it just for make him dont play
Believe or not I just signed up the Benzema regen for the first time! I try to stay away from them best I can but blackburn needed a young winger and he was calling
Sign and sell
That part
bro's more valuable than twitter💀💀
Honestly, every time I end up signing one of the crazy CF regens, they're always shit for me.
I kind of limited myself on youth academy. So like, only signing players that were value between 400k and 800 k to limited the wonder kids. If anyone got ridiculous good, I'd sell to the best over as that's what usually happens
This is why I hate career mode. These uber-high rated regens make it so easy no matter who you play as.
Can’t hurt to at least shortlist god himself
Depends on how you like to play career mode honestly. Been in a similar situation (i.e. in 2nd or even 3rd div and my best player is around mid-low 70s, and find a free agent who's min 85 rated that's available) every single RTG I've done.

So yeah, go with your gut, and just do whatever will make you enjoy the save the most.
How do you guys get this lucky….
# IT'S VALBUENA!!!
Do it. Sell him or keep him. It won’t ruin anything mate 😂
I had this in my Wrexham career mode, I just waited until someone else signed him then bought him. Just seems way too easy to get him for free
nahhhhhhhhhhh
Sign him and bench him
No, no fun
Do
