Biggest FM20 Exploit? How to SIGN Players & SELL them immediately!

In this episode, Jamie showcases what we consider to be an exploit. However, this is not cheating; just a workaround to the perceived boundaries of Transfers AI.

Imagine signing dozens of players for free and then being able to sell them at once. Too good to be true, right? Well, it's possible if you follow the steps explained on video!

Would you class this as a #FM20 #exploit? Should this be on Football Manager 2020? This could change the way you play every save.

We'd really APPRECIATE it if YOU

I can confirm: This trick is still working on FM21. Playing as Milan, Rebic is there as a new transfer after he was made permanent in the exchange with Frankfurt. I have no need for him, as I have Hauge, Leao, Viktor Fischer, and Depay on the left attacking midfielder. Normal 'Offer to Clubs' does not work, it says Rebic doesn't want to move clubs so soon. So I warned him of his conduct, and threatened to place him on the transfer list. Then I offer him out for 20m pounds (he's worth 17.5m). ManUtd came with a 20m bid and took him away from me. Life's good.

Bare in mind you'll pay signing on fees/agent fees which come from your transfer budget. If you was to do this i would recommend being creative with contracts - Wage increases after 5 appearances etc (they won't hit them appearances which could lower their demands for agent/signing of fees)

9:05 the entire squad is unhappy, one of many reasons why this is not something worth doing

[rupertvon]

if you're going to use this you may as well just use the editor

[nathlewisgolf]

Oh my this could be career saving for my Stockton Town FC save, I'm 5 seasons in and almost 300k in debt!

Absolute legends!

Technically the exploit here is how easily you can make the player want to leave. The AI wanting to buy a player that was just signed does not strike as odd to me, but normally that doesn't work as they have no interest in a deal with another club. I think a way to "fix" this would be making the squad unhappy at the treatment towards new players.

[COYBIG]

I personally wouldn’t use it, ruins it for me but of course everyone can do What they enjoy, there use to be a cheat to sell players for any fee you wanted so like selling a 10 grand player for 100 mill on some of the older games.
Ps didnt I see it had made your squad unhappy as well ?

[davidhedgcock]

What effect does this exploit have on team morale? Too many players brought in and transfer listed surely is going to have a dressing room effect and thus affect your squad dynamics.

[reecechambers]

I've done this without moving the players to the youth team, just transfer list them. I was doing a homegrown save and my board signed two non Italian players. I don't think this is a trick if I can do it as easy as that.

It didn't work with hartem ben arfa, there is no offer for sale but loan, ben arfa also doesnt want to leave

[ThatRyRyGuy]

This works without putting them in the kids.

I sign players on a free and the second they join the club, offer them out and 99% of the time they get an offer for their value.

[LooneyHoon]

Literally tried this with 10 different players and it didnt work for me

[zxcziomzxc]

Yes, it is an exploit. The game naturally blocks such transfers because it is not realistic. There is no such thing in the game. This is the same as half-money transfers. It is a football manager, which is to reflect this sport as it is in reality.

[marcgray]

It happens IRL occasionally so I think it's acceptable every so often

[strikerfall]

i have a question, what happens if no one makes a bid? do you offer out again? or just wait to see if anyone makes a bid?
you cant warn a second time about listing a player so what happens then?

[Max-snqi]

Tried it today, Leicester City on Fuchs who has just signed a new contract at the start of the game. Doesnt work..

[maddoc]

This seems to be very inconsistent I tryed it with notts county and hearts and it didnt work. I then tryed it with benfeca and it did work. In the notts and hearts ones it said that the players had just joined- so there was no interest. I did the steps correctly. Bit of a warning to players incase you end up with a lot of dead wood at your club for trying this.

[tromakid]

Wow! I did that years ago with Tom Cleverly after he left United on a free. Signed him for Bournemouth and sold him by the start of the season. Must of been FM15 or earlier. Well I have no idea how I did it and have tried on more recent version but its never happened again until you've showed me this. I was starting to think I imagined it.
I miss this game so much, its the reason I need a PC.

[camilogarcia]

I do it without talking to the player or moving him to the U18 squad. Sometimes I just loan them out to increase their value and sell them 6 months later. But there's no need to do all that, just wait a week or two and if they definitely don't fit your team, try to sell them. But there is absolutely no need to talk to them and moving them down.

[LegionarisRex]

Why would a club in their right mind suddenly pay millions for a player they first, weren't interested in, and secondly could have picked up for free? Makes no sense.
