Get TONS of Free Players on FM

  • Sometimes I am playing FM on stream and someone will point out that something I am doing is useful and should be a video. The art, and it is an art, of cultivating a list of potentially free players in your football manager save then combing through them in a way that is not detrimental to your team is something I have spent my whole FM life trying to perfect. I believe I have it down now and it was pointed out to me that making a guide to this trial art would help people not spend that same amount of time getting a feel for it.
    This is VERY MUCH a feel thing. While a lot of Football Manager is a science, what takes a player from good to great is having a feel for how things will work out in certain situations. With these free transfers, I am trying to provide you all that feel. The perfect balance of training workload, dynamics, and scouting the maximum number of players the moment they become free is intricate, but the rewards can be a completely new team that can get you promoted out of whatever league is requiring you to scout this way.
    Much Love,
    FM Senpai

    To add to step 4: Always, always move trialists to u23/reserves etc. The one you use as the dumpster not the one with your talents. Does not harm workload or dynamics then so only limited by board + As trial extension is not possible just trial for 4 weeks as default. Then check weekly yourself how good everyone is looking. Sometimes even on day 1 you can cull them.

    I do a mid season trial farm. Trial lots of players at the start of the season and if their demands are a bit too high id keep tabs on them and re-invite them on trial from time to time. Eventually, their demands will be really cheap especially after January. Got someone who first wanted 2.7k pw on just 500 pw. These players also can still improve your team depending on your teams level
    Theres also a glitch where if you mess up a contract negotiation when a player is on trial you can untrial and retrial them.

  • @JJWW
    @JJWW Před 2 lety +15

    I would also like to add, even though it's not directly related to the concept of trial-farming, but if you want a player who's already considering a contract from another club offering them a trial will force them into a decision (and it in my experience never goes the way of the trial). So if there's a player who has no club and you want to approach them but you already see that nice 'BID' status button, you need to decide if you just want to offer them a contract or not approach them.

    Here is how I beat Real Madrid to sign Mbappe free in summer 2022 by abusing trial (mbappe has preference to play for Real Madrid):
    1) Starting in January, whenever someone offers a contract to Mbappe, offer him max wage + 50% yearly wage rise + 50% sell on fee. After he accept offer, delay whenever he ask for confirmation. He will pull out of the deal. (Do not press cancel; let Mbappe be the one who pull out)
    2) repeat 1) until his contract at PSG runs out in summer
    3) offer him trial immediately. Every time a new trial starts all interested clubs disappear.
    4) when some clubs starts to get interested, terminate trial and offer trial again.
    5) wait until transfer deadline day and Real Madrid will be uninterested ( or if you are lucky, Real Madrid might have no budget left before that)
    6 Bonus: Being the first to offer Mbappe contract while he is on trial at your club will result him asking for lower wages
