FM20 Exploit - How to offload players you can't sell...

We show you how to exploit Football Manager 2020, is this broke and should it be fixed asap?

[legofski]

Me: *starts new game*, *offloads most of Everton deadwood for kids*
Also me: *gets relegated*

That's not an exploit you're losing a lot of value in these deals.
The only thing that needs changing is that there's never going to be a situation in real life where absolutely nobody wants a player (at least in the higher leagues). The interest generated in your players in FM is actually far too low.

[jackbartlett]

not really an exploit because its obvious that psg would accept that. only useful for players who cant sell because they are very old and still on high wages

[bboyz]

You offer the player and get offers in wich you have to pay part of the salary, thats easy to fix

Go to offer to clubs

Add that clause

Remove the clause from negotiation permanentely

Press offer to clubs

[edufernandez]

Extremely useful. I had a 33 year old player on a 3 year contract and on stupid wages (46K) when the avg in my team was 10k. It was impossible to loan him (even paying 80% of his wages), impossible to sell him (even for free) and impossible to make him resign. People need to understand that if absolutely no team is interested in your player it doesn’t matter what estimated value he has, because his real value is 0 and therefore this is the only way to save money on wages.

This happens all the time in different sports, particularly salary capped league's. NBA is probably the most notable for it and it is a viable strategy. The only real difference is the contracts are usually fixed.

[MrGlennJohnsen]

Yeah I don’t think that’s an exploit, clubs run on finances and in these cases both clubs "win".

[kajtheliar]

You're right, this is a terrible exploit. Terrible in that it's not really an exploit at all.

[Mattjonesll]

BUT.. CALL ME CRAZY ID RATHER HAVE LIKE SAY 15 MILLION FOR MUSTAFI AND PAY 240, 000 OF HIS WAGES A YEAR THAN GET RID OF HIM FOR NOTHING 🤷🏻‍♂️

[graemesuttle]

the biggest exploit i use to sign big players like mbappe for example is to do exactly what psg did to sign him, if you are a huge club like Manchester united that often has 300+ million in the finances section you can pull deals like this off year after year, make your offer a loan offer, paying full wages yourself. but offer a mandatory future fee for the player at the end of the loan. if you have the player well scouted beforehand you will see the fee range the club will accept (unless it says don't want to sell) on occasion a player has turned down my contract offer but that does not end the deal sometimes. they may still accept to come on loan for a season to you. this means the fee changes from mandatory to optional. its a win win. if mbappe accepts the contract you sign him at the end of the year, if he turns you down there is still a chance he may accept the loan and you get him for a full year for nothing. doesn't work everytime though. I use the top target option to get them very interested in my club.

[nickgrosvenor]

This, as presented, isn't really an exploit because you're not really exploiting the AI. You're paying money to get rid of a player that could help the club he's going to. I think it would get into a grey area if you're doing this and selectively targeting decent, but still cheap youth prospects.

[VypeReaper]

You can also release them on a fee, if the fee is less than his wage/salary, i always accept. If the release fee is higher, I try to sell, usually for more than the player was bought.

If I cant sell him, I send him on a loan with 100% paid wages when playing and unused. This covers his wages. If no one wants him at 100%, I bring it down to 50%

[jiggyman]

I feel like the board should block these trades as the value is too big between

[thegrizzlys]

Been doing this since 2011 edition, but I do limit myself to youth players I want...

[RedCraig]

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Making out how you’re saving loads of money, but ignoring the fact that you got rid of Mustafi while he had a value of £18m at your club. So you save on wages but lose a player worth £18m. Genius(!!!!)

[michelnezarrio]

This is really brilliant! I've got Alexis Sanchez earning £20million a year. I've got Rodriguez earning around the same. Bailly is earning around £10million. And they're all 2 star rated players!!! Definitely going to exploit this!!

[sasatalic]

i dont think thats an exploit, i dont see why most of the clubs in the world wouldnt want mustafi basically for free, even psg, you can just send him on loan or sell.

[JoshGanguly]

This would be considered bad business at any club unless you're Manchester United and trying (failing) to get rid of Alexis Sanchez. I can't think of a better example that suits this exploit so perfectly 🙌

[Icetuga]

I hate when people take forever to get to the point, make your point and then do the additional commentary if anyone is still interested.

[BryanFuryous]

Not an exploit, as you proved in your video. This is trading players. SI need to fix the AI when you offer players out. Not this.
