You see, this shows how mixed up I am in this thread!
Tottenham! Not a bad start. Still, when you search for transfers, add a transfer status -> transfer listed filter, and tick filter unrealistic targets. It would be wise to sort by price, from high to low. If you want a specific position, add that filter too.
During non-transfer periods, you won;t find many transfer listed players. You will find most as soon as the transfer window opens, or as soon as the season ends.
I have quite a bit of experience with FM, so I kinds prefer looking for players myself, rather than assign scouts. Scouts help me find mainly youths, and get a second impression of players. Find as many 20/20 (its a term us FM players use for Staff Members with 20 rating in judging potential ability and 20 rating in judging current ability) scouts as you can, and assign them to different parts of the world. If they have a knowledge of they country/region beforehand, its even better.
You can see who is available for loan, and at times, you find some great youths. Top teams are willing to loan them out, and you can get them on loan, and add a future fee. Its quite a good way to find some youth players (although most of the time they will be expensive).
One small tip. On the 31st of December, CHECK FOR FREE AGENTS. Filter by contract expiring in 6 months, and you can find some real gems on a free. If you look up, you can see some of the quality players I will be getting on a free.
Yeah, don;t play during exams. I stopped during mine, then re started when I finished. I could play other games like FIFA, as they aren't half as addicting. But FM is just TOO addicting.
Then they say drugs are addicting. Pfft, try the real thing, pussies! (Is that considered a bad word?
)
