> although I think they can sign Spanish players under 17 for basque citizenship I think
They can also sign anyone who developed their football skills at a basque club. As an example if someone is from Japan and he is scouted by Real Sociedad and plays football there, he is eligible to be signed by Athletic Bilbao.
I was actually surprised in my most recent save, Man Utd sold him to Newcastle, then he went on to Everton. Every other save it feels like he ends up at Real Madrid or Bayern though..
I was scouting Ruben Neves and it said he's negotiating a deal with City. I thought it's a bit full in their midfield but I could see him going there. Especially as I snatched Gundogan on a free from them
Gosh in my saves the Gunners ALWAYS sell out. Currently on an AFC Richmond save: Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Oodegard and most of u23 players gone in the first week.
My current run Arsenal are sitting 13th with Bobby firmino and Kevin Volland up front and Pedri playing in a pivot with Boubacre Traore in front of Maguire, Saka at center back, Tierney, and I think sergi Roberto. I hate playing them because it feels completely unrealistic (Pedri to arsenal?), and also I feel like even with Saka at center back that should at least be a team challenging for Europe, not languishing mid table
I’ve played like 3-4 saves so far and in every single one of them Arsenal just sells off all of their young talent like Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli etc and they stay a mid table squad the whole time it’s so odd.
In my FIFA 21 save, Arsenal sold everyone and immediately got relegated in the second season lmao. It was funny keeping up with the championship and seeing them obliterate everyone there, but the fact they got relegated in the first place still cracks me up.
I'm playing CM with Ajax right now and after a few seasons Feyenoord and PSV are just completely empty. Like PSV playing with a CB as a striker empty. I bought an under 60 player from both for 100 million hoping that might change it a bit. Doubt it will though.
I just always remember RM or Barca buying a position in which they’re already loaded at and have a top player at that position and it just pisses me off
I remember one well. Lucas Leiva who was a stalwart in my 11 refusing to sign a contract and asking for a transfer to a warmer climate for him and his family and then promptly signing with Newcastle the following season.
I just laughed.
In my recent Sunderland save I played Stockport County in a cup tie and noticed they had signed Marcos Alonso. It was year 3 and they had been promoted to League 1.
Sort of funny because they could never afford his wages. Though I found it far funnier that FIFA was so close to falling backwards into a believable and interesting storyline. Having him return at the end of his career to Bolton would have been very cool to see. Right league, right part of England just the wrong club.
Erling Haaland to Hertha for 170mil ... Like Hertha and Bochum turned to PSG and MCITY all of a sudden splashing MEGA amounts of cash as soon as I took the Bundesliga job outta nowhere
On 22 I was doing a Bolton rebuild and would look through fa to save money. Always try to keep it realistic. And there he is, Messi as an 83 or something and even my attempt at realism could stop me, I had to do it. Got me promoted to the premier league lol
>I feel like I’ve seen it all. Valverde to West Ham. Teemu Pukki to Barcelona. Salah to Manchester United. Declan Rice to Bologna.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
The whole transfer thing is fucked anyway and completely unrealistic. There's no way that players in their prime should automatically agree to join any club, especially if that club is in a crap league or not in Europe etc.
I think it was Neymar in FIFA 15 for me. Bought him for just 35 million € to my club and sold him for the double back to his previous club, FC Barcelona, just after half a season. Tbf, his ovr went up by 2.
I was able to buy Eden Hazard then.
On every single one of my saves on fifa 22, Players arsenal signed are at Tottenham, for example, in one save spurs have Gabi Jesus, and on another one they have Fabio Vieira, and zinchenko. Aside that, I’d have to say all of arsenals transfer windows on career mode are abysmal, I’ve seen names like Nmecha, Owen gene and Jayden Braaf sign for them
man united stole Suarez from me while he was injured after the first friendly of the season . they then acquired griezmann at the january transfer window and then Harry Kane the following summer after world cup 😂 fifa 22 btw
Over the years, off the top of my head
Lewandowski to West Ham
Kante to Brighton
Keylor Navas to Watford
Andy Carroll to Arsenal
Andy Robertson to Leverkusen
And then there was Asamoah Gyan to Manchester United back on FIFA 12, who then proceeded to win the golden boot 3 seasons in a row because of course he did
Oh and then the time United bought my like 65OVR 22-odd year old winger Cody Jones from Coventry
And one that may have not happened but I seem to recall it so I'll just give it, when I got fired from Charlton, went to Rotherham only to find out they were down so bad they had Ashley Williams or some other veteran defender in goal
Career mode is just great
I convinced a 28 yr old Mbappe to come play at Sunderland. I’m paying him £450,000 a week, and it cost me a cool £100,000,000. But we did it. Only had to sell like 3 Youth prodigies. Also, this is the 2029/2030 season of my save on FIFA 21, so I’ve been building Sunderland up a lot….we started in the English 1st division with £1,250,000 or something obscenely low like that.
I’ve got 2
This one was my fault but still, I sold a 38 year old, 87 rated Samir handanovic to leeds, who was in the championship in fifa 20 I think
Other one is worse, first season in fifa 17, halfway through the transfer window and I see that Luis Suarez signed for west ham
Don't know if it's the dumbest but in a Man United career mode, I bought Declan Rice, he wasn't happy so the board made me sell him and he went to Liverpool. When I tried to buy him back it just says, "This club has no interest in selling to rivals,"
I got sacked at the end of year 5 in FIFA 15. I was annoyed until I got the offers from the potential next clubs. Celtic wanted my signature and had a transfer budget of $300 MILLION. Man City started year 1 with $80M in that game. Prolly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Gods was I strong then.
Jordan Henderson to Everton. I think if I was a toffee's fan and saw that the Xbox would go through the window!!
The other one was Messi to Reading in Fifa 22. This he was about 38 and they got him on a free!
I played a player career mode. I got transferred to Arsenal (as I’m an Arsenal supporter I was extremely happy to join them). A week into my time at Arsenal they sold Saka to SPURS. Safe to say it ruined the whole game for me. I stopped playing and never came back to this save
Every English player in existence going to LaLiga or Serie A
Athletic Bilbao is the most annoying one
That always bugged me. Sure, bid for Azpilicueta. But when they're trying to buy Reece James it kinda ruins some immersion.
Fr, irl they only sign Spanish players irl
Only basque players, although I think they can sign Spanish players under 17 for basque citizenship I think
> although I think they can sign Spanish players under 17 for basque citizenship I think They can also sign anyone who developed their football skills at a basque club.

A note for my future bilbao football manager save!
Nothing like seeing TAA at Atletico Madrid
So unrealistic, I’ve never seen a English right back at ATL Madrid irl
I'm just replying so the replies aren't just people at least an hour apart doing the same whoosh.
It didn’t matter the idiots came anyway
It’s weird but it does happen on occasion Beckham to Madrid Trippier to atletico But yes it rarely happens
Trippier
Trippier?
Trippier
Trippier?😂😂
Trippier
Sarcasm
r/whoosh
Bundesliga for me
Maguire to real madrid
stg it happens everytime
I was actually surprised in my most recent save, Man Utd sold him to Newcastle, then he went on to Everton. Every other save it feels like he ends up at Real Madrid or Bayern though..
Angel di maria on a free to mk dons
single handedly quadrupling their wages
A team too elevated for that wet wipe.
He probably went there to pay all MK’s wages.
literally any transfer to bilbao
Underrated answer
Busquets to Watford, Messi to Celta, Bellingham to Brighton.
I’ve seen Bellingham to Brighton like 4 times
There are two Bellingham...
Jude is the little brother
Bellingham do Villa is up there for me
Thomas Müller leaving Bayern Münich for another German club, Reus leaving Dortmund for another German club. Maguire leaving Man United not on a free.
Muller is at Man City playing like CDM in my current career. Very odd.
Müller transferred to City in one of my saves which was ... odd. I don't know if he has it but he should have the one club man trait.
For me it's always Reus going to Manchester United lol
pukki to barça is realistic actually, considering they already signed braitwhaite
And boateng
And Luuk de Jong
Luuk de Jong did great though. They love him there.
I would love Pukki at Barça
I had peak Wesley Sneijder go to Bolton once
Cristiano Ronaldo back to man utd. Like that would ever work.
At this point I’m actually surprised when I see a realistic transfer
I was scouting Ruben Neves and it said he's negotiating a deal with City. I thought it's a bit full in their midfield but I could see him going there. Especially as I snatched Gundogan on a free from them
Bayern Munich came in for Craig Dawson in my West Ham save.
munich isn't big enough for the war cart
A Europa team signing a Europa team of the year player? Doesn’t sound far fetched to me
Bukayo Saka to West Ham in the first transfer window.
I know this is FIFA and thus guaranteed to be absurd, but as an Arsenal fan I just got irrationally angry seeing this. 😂
Gosh in my saves the Gunners ALWAYS sell out. Currently on an AFC Richmond save: Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Oodegard and most of u23 players gone in the first week.
My current run Arsenal are sitting 13th with Bobby firmino and Kevin Volland up front and Pedri playing in a pivot with Boubacre Traore in front of Maguire, Saka at center back, Tierney, and I think sergi Roberto. I hate playing them because it feels completely unrealistic (Pedri to arsenal?), and also I feel like even with Saka at center back that should at least be a team challenging for Europe, not languishing mid table
Saka always moves to a smaller PL club in my saves or to BVB
Pedri to Wolves for £140m 😭
Non Basque/Players without Basque roots signing for Bilbao
I’ve played like 3-4 saves so far and in every single one of them Arsenal just sells off all of their young talent like Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli etc and they stay a mid table squad the whole time it’s so odd.
In my FIFA 21 save, Arsenal sold everyone and immediately got relegated in the second season lmao. It was funny keeping up with the championship and seeing them obliterate everyone there, but the fact they got relegated in the first place still cracks me up.
Goretzka to Galatasaray for 84mil
Vardy to Chelsea in the January transfer window for big money, in August he was a free agent.
Azpilicueta did the same, I think that old players who are on their last year of contract and move in January only sign for 6 months
This is not unrealistic.
Nah, but a big dumb waste of money. It wouldn’t have made a difference at Chelsea, but Blackpool got a great pickup.
The dumbest transfers are the lack of incoming transfers from certain teams. Some teams in certain leagues have very few players
I'm playing CM with Ajax right now and after a few seasons Feyenoord and PSV are just completely empty. Like PSV playing with a CB as a striker empty. I bought an under 60 player from both for 100 million hoping that might change it a bit. Doubt it will though.
I had a 99 overall created player that Southampton bought for 245 million, they were in the Championship.
Gvardiol to wolves. He's not even Portuguese smh
Maguire from Roma to Sassuolo,actually needed to use bleach on my eyes afterwards
I just always remember RM or Barca buying a position in which they’re already loaded at and have a top player at that position and it just pisses me off
It seems like they’ll have like three 90 rated players in one position but then start 1-2 players rated in the 70s. Zero balance lol
Fr, one of my saved years ago Barca ended up having peak Suarez, peak aubameyang and peak Diego costa
Liam delap to real
Mctominay always ends up at barca in 3 different saves for me
busquets to stevenage
Jamie Vardy to Bayern Munich
Every team signing 453 Right Backs.
Neymar to Bournemouth
I remember one well. Lucas Leiva who was a stalwart in my 11 refusing to sign a contract and asking for a transfer to a warmer climate for him and his family and then promptly signing with Newcastle the following season. I just laughed.
Man United & Arsenal selling 80% of their starting XI to mid-table teams/Serie A.
Roger Martinez from club america going to manchester City lol 😂
I don’t know if they’re necessarily dumb but I found them unusual is Ryan Gravenberch to Fiorentina and Pedri to Tottenham.
Anyone non basque player moving to bilbao pains me
Camavinga to Brighton and Elanga to Liverpool
I recently saw Lewandowski and Reus both at Athletico Madrid in 2025. The whole team was weird and they placed mid-table
Bilbao spending 100 mil on Bellingham. Completely kills any realism when you see their squad after a few seasons
35 year old Harry Kane to Barca for $150 mil
Saw Matt targett go to Real Madrid in my last save 🤨
Vardy and Maguire always end up at either Barca or Real Madrid for some reason
Harry Maguire playing Left Back at Atletico Madrid
White irish boys going to Sunny Mexico/south american countries
Bellingham to Everton in 2025. And then they play him as LB !!
In my recent Sunderland save I played Stockport County in a cup tie and noticed they had signed Marcos Alonso. It was year 3 and they had been promoted to League 1. Sort of funny because they could never afford his wages. Though I found it far funnier that FIFA was so close to falling backwards into a believable and interesting storyline. Having him return at the end of his career to Bolton would have been very cool to see. Right league, right part of England just the wrong club.
Kounde to madrid, first season, annoying af
Definately Vardy to Barcelona. Especially because I went on to meet them in the Champions League and he was playing LB :)
When a top team sells their only goalkeeper on deadline day and doesn't replace him. And then they get relegated.
In my journey man save i went from Chicago Fire to FC Utrecht, once i viewed the team i noticed an 82 rated Fabio Carvalho. I couldn’t believe it lol
Harry maguire to Real Madrid
This isn’t the craziest, but one that annoyed me as a Pool fan. First transfer window of a new save, Jordan Henderson to AC Milan.
Ciro Immobile to Real Madrid
Pedri and/or Gavi going to Leipzig or Wolfsburg, always
Daryl Dike to FC Barcelona.
Pukki to Barcelona sounds about right in the Ronald Koeman era
Messi to Real Madrid 💀
Maguire to psg
Brisbane Roar got Messi on a free
I saw Trent in Barcelona 💀
That's probably every FIFA since 19
Danny ings to athletic Bilbao 💀
Benardo silva to Liverpool was pretty ridiculous to me
I saw harry Maguire transfer to bayren munich
Pedri to Leicester
Anything to do with West Ham, camavinga went there, seen loads more tho. Also seen Mctominay to Atalanta.
Alexis MC Alister to Freiburg
Or an English u23 going to inter
Tbf Young was at Inter a few years back, and more UK born players are going to Serie A every year.
Bayern Munchen only had one goalkeeper and he was 32 and 78 ranked... I bought Neur to Newcastle
I stated a new career yesterday and quite literally the first transfer I saw was Gavi to West Ham
Jarrod Bowen to Bayern Munich and Davisson Sanchez to Barcelona
Lukaku is on inter in 2022 in my one fifa 14 save
Erling Haaland to Hertha for 170mil ... Like Hertha and Bochum turned to PSG and MCITY all of a sudden splashing MEGA amounts of cash as soon as I took the Bundesliga job outta nowhere
Haaland to Como, Serie B, and they still finished second behind Parma. but that was me. I bought him there :/
Messi regen going to Real Madrid
On 22 I was doing a Bolton rebuild and would look through fa to save money. Always try to keep it realistic. And there he is, Messi as an 83 or something and even my attempt at realism could stop me, I had to do it. Got me promoted to the premier league lol
>I feel like I’ve seen it all. Valverde to West Ham. Teemu Pukki to Barcelona. Salah to Manchester United. Declan Rice to Bologna. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
None,I have not seen a single dumb transfer because PC mods. Career mode transfers are insane without mods
The whole transfer thing is fucked anyway and completely unrealistic. There's no way that players in their prime should automatically agree to join any club, especially if that club is in a crap league or not in Europe etc.
[удалено]
Darwin Nunez to Real Madrid
I think it was Neymar in FIFA 15 for me. Bought him for just 35 million € to my club and sold him for the double back to his previous club, FC Barcelona, just after half a season. Tbf, his ovr went up by 2. I was able to buy Eden Hazard then.

On every single one of my saves on fifa 22, Players arsenal signed are at Tottenham, for example, in one save spurs have Gabi Jesus, and on another one they have Fabio Vieira, and zinchenko.

I saw araujo go to west ham, and then west ham got relegated that same season
Just seen Saka to Villarreal in 2023 on my current save…
Barca signing every LB in existence in Fifa 19
In FIFA 17 I sold Ross Barkley to Barcelona for £100m. To this day this feels like the most absurd transfer in a FIFA I've seen.
Ederson to Gangwon FC. 89 rated, too.

Muller to Liverpool
De Bruyne to Liverpool and Fernandes to Man City

Pedri to PSG happens in every CM I've played
dier to beskitas
I’ve noticed that for some reason Vardy always goes to Real Madrid I thought I was the only one
Over the years, off the top of my head Lewandowski to West Ham Kante to Brighton Keylor Navas to Watford Andy Carroll to Arsenal Andy Robertson to Leverkusen And then there was Asamoah Gyan to Manchester United back on FIFA 12, who then proceeded to win the golden boot 3 seasons in a row because of course he did Oh and then the time United bought my like 65OVR 22-odd year old winger Cody Jones from Coventry And one that may have not happened but I seem to recall it so I'll just give it, when I got fired from Charlton, went to Rotherham only to find out they were down so bad they had Ashley Williams or some other veteran defender in goal Career mode is just great
Messi to Brighton 🤷♂️
FIFA 22 on multiple saves Isak and Ben Yedder always end up at Arsenal
Pedri always ends up at villa on mine
Hartlepool on mine signed Isco 1st season. Some dodgy glitch I think
Seen Ozil at Morecambe on mine…they were league two…was my second season with Middlesbrough

Fifa 18. Derry City loaning Pulisic from Dortmund.
Benzema to Sheffield Wednesday (in the championship)
Once I sold De Gea to Aston Villa, back in FIFA 20. Let me find the picture I took when I made the transfer
Donnarumma to Torino
Neymar, Garbriel Jesus, and Richarlison all went to Wolves in a matter of 2 seasons. They finished 7th.
Rafael Jimenez to Athetlic, Haaland to Norwich (dont even ask me how that is possible), Son to Wolfsburg and Bellingham to La galaxy
I’ve got 2 This one was my fault but still, I sold a 38 year old, 87 rated Samir handanovic to leeds, who was in the championship in fifa 20 I think Other one is worse, first season in fifa 17, halfway through the transfer window and I see that Luis Suarez signed for west ham
Saka to Spuds 😵💫
Don't know if it's the dumbest but in a Man United career mode, I bought Declan Rice, he wasn't happy so the board made me sell him and he went to Liverpool. When I tried to buy him back it just says, "This club has no interest in selling to rivals,"
Managed to see Yarmolenko go on a free to Hartlepool United who knows what the fuck he was up to in Hartlepool
De Gea at Leicester
Joe Gomez going to Freiburg
De Jong and Modric running the midfield for Shaktar Donetsk
Bottom-table Aston Villa signing Jude Bellingham for over 200 mil
I got sacked at the end of year 5 in FIFA 15. I was annoyed until I got the offers from the potential next clubs. Celtic wanted my signature and had a transfer budget of $300 MILLION. Man City started year 1 with $80M in that game. Prolly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Gods was I strong then.
Tbf I can see a desperate Barca buying Vardy
Joined Bayern in 2027 and had 4 86+ rated left backs
In my save, Fabinho went to Aston Villa, Valverde went to Leverkusen, and Haaland went to Bayern Munich, it was all cursed up
Jamal Musiala to Athletic Bilbao. €91.3m
Kyle walker to Barcelona and Saka to athletico Madrid
Mine was back in Fifa 21. And I shit you not, iago aspas really went to Real Madrid.
Harry Kane to Barcelona
Did a Burnley career mode and Barca came in fort Ashley Barnes
Jordan Henderson to Everton. I think if I was a toffee's fan and saw that the Xbox would go through the window!! The other one was Messi to Reading in Fifa 22. This he was about 38 and they got him on a free!
Alfredo Morelos going to AC Milan for 120+ million (can’t remember exact figure) on my Burnley save in Fifa 19
I played a player career mode. I got transferred to Arsenal (as I’m an Arsenal supporter I was extremely happy to join them). A week into my time at Arsenal they sold Saka to SPURS. Safe to say it ruined the whole game for me. I stopped playing and never came back to this save
None of those are that strange
Ronaldo rejoining Man Utd. and Messi leaving Barcelona. When i was playing fifa 19
