Just a few days ago a 16 year old 2,5* guy with 43.6 intelligence, 41 TW, 23.1 strength, 26.9 speed, and most main skills somewhat below 10 went for 12,5 million!


i wanted that player so badly, but i dident want to go over 10 million...


It isn't necessary to go anywhere near 10 million to get a player like that.
As the transfer market seems nuts at the moment (and IMHO is likely to get worse), I've decided to go down the "make-your-own" route. With a Maxed youth academy and a good spread of coaches it's definitely possible to pull some v.good youth prospects from the youth pull, then just use the 22 slots in the YA to produce some superstars, the ones that just fall short can be sold for good money (like your 10 million, for example . )
Obviously this is not suitable for everyone, but I'm often surprised by the high quality of some of the youth pulls available, it's just a case of being patient for the next 2/3/4 seasons whilst the YA players are pumped up to the max.

Definetely! Nothing really to spend on the market - gazzillions of RZA$ available - cant wait the first sells after the draft how prices will skyrocket...

True that. I just pulled a 51 TW guy Decent intelligence too. Well even if it's just a rounding issue, it was still funny to see that in my youth pull list

I don't know about "superstars" being trained in the YA, but sure you can get them guys up to a decent level by the time they join the senior team. And for superstars there's the draft.

My only problem is the 22 spots. I need more!

Oh, almost got me worried there
Altough I still got a year before they start transfering in. Plus I'm keeping every age group on 6 players, so I won't have such problems later on.

Timing has a major influence on price as well. A guy for sale at server time range of 18:00-22:00 has a much higher chance to sell for more than say 7:00 server time. That first window I gave is a good time for European managers and North American managers.

I actually budget less for players at stranger bid times ( a lot of times they are FA players) than at peak times.
