I love manager games, but I don't really understand the transfer system. Or the friendlies system, I guess. Soccer is weird.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- hasdgfas

It really is, but it's not all that complicated(unless you play MLS, which is the weirdest league).
Basically, you have to purchase players from the clubs that hold their contracts and also separately determine a contract with that player.
Friendlies are just exhibition games. I tend not to set them up and just let my assistant do that, and I don't do them apart from preseason.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont

Friendlies best way to get smaller teams some easy/free money.
Getting like 100k to go play ManU or someone in the preseason as a League 2/Conference team is like opop.ofc you just schedule whoever will pay you the most.ShowRumpelstiltskin Grinder

Trades/DPs, the international rules are pretty limiting.In post 10, BROseidon wrote:

The international slots are limiting, but they're to force mls squads to use and develop American talent so that we don't end up with a super strong league while doing poorly in international competitions (lol England)
Trades are a thing because the mls actually owns all the player contracts, so they've set up the trade system to make it impossible for rich teams (LA Galaxy, NYCFC, etc) to just buy everyone.
DPs have to do with salary cap rules. The MLS had a salary cap to create parity (aka so LA doesn't steamroll everyone). However, a salary cap limits your ability to bring in big-name talent. The DP contracts let teams sign up to 4 players above $438k/yr, while only having them count 438k against the salary cap. Kaka, for instance, makes 7.1m/yr, more than 2x the salary cap. There are a few other ways to reduce players' impact on the salary cap (allocation money, which is a super weird thing, and homegrown status)- hasdgfas

You don't have to explain it to me, I understand all of it, but MLS is, among the biggest leagues at least, the outlier, in that there's more to think about.In post 13, BROseidon wrote:The international slots are limiting, but they're to force mls squads to use and develop American talent so that we don't end up with a super strong league while doing poorly in international competitions (lol England)

Sure. I've played MLS before too. I just don't think it's the best place to start.In post 15, BROseidon wrote:Maybe because I play mostly mls, I'm not really phased by it anymore.

Also the false parity in the MLS makes it a pretty good place to start, imo.
Although it's been getting less even each year in my current save file, with my having clinched a bye in the playoffs after 28 games this season (Unbeaten in the last 12 or something ridiculous like that). Then again, I've only managed that b/c I've got 2 near-DP level strikers that are making like 115k/yr and 55k/yr right now because lol Brazil (not to mention the host of other top-tier talent I'm severely underpaying).- pickemgenius

ya one of the first things I always do on an MLS save is scout for Brazilian talent.In post 16, BROseidon wrote:Playing mls has also made me really good at finding undervalued talent in brazil
actually who am I kidding, I do that on any save. Brazil produces too many quality talents.ShowRumpelstiltskin Grinder
