3 new managers this evening

Colemania

My first tip would be sell none of your players until you get a hang of the game. Some people will give you advice on who to sell to externals to build up cash

The first rule of Soccermanager is.....


It's really awesome so tell as many people as possible

Second piece of advice, don't sell any players until you've seen some transfers between the "experienced" managers, it will give you an idea of how players are actually valued compared to their in game values

Lord TSC

To add, before you sell any player you need to replace, get in contact with some managers and see how they value replacements. Don't dive in and sell a players only to find it's impossible to replace them adequately.

You probably need the defensive style that Greece used to their benefit.

One tactic that usually gets me is setting no tactics at all.

TBF out of the three I would expect either one win/draw...

I would still say it's not over man, this game can throw up strange results.

GT_TDI_150

I see some hypocrites are bidding on players at the new managers clubs..., ...there are also managers bidding that offered no opinion on any deals done with the last new manager to join - this I dont take exception with.

JamboMac

I made a bid for bidding sake, not gonna be accepted. I thought you where aloud run your team how see fit, no?

I thought same,

I take issue when a scenario is commented on (strongly by some) and 2 weeks later ... the commentators employ what appears to be the initial scenario.

Few weeks ago.... Literally word for word that was my position too

JamboMac

It doesn't really make a lot of sense not bidding just because a manager is new. Ok when I was new I took Rangers, so nobody wanted my players. But now that I'm a big club and I see some of the future stars I signed for these clubs being in unmanaged sides I'd like to see them come home.

This player I bid for is one of the many I signed for clubs and has potential, probably this manager should accept no bids for this player.

Colemania

I feel so conflicted on this. Do i sit back and see all these offers coming in for players from the new managers teams, some may which be accepted, or do I try compete? I don't want to have to compete but it's not exactly fair that other people should get an advantage of signing 89+ players.

For god sake just leave the new managers alone for a while!

On a similar topic, it's very dodgy that a lot of new managers have come in during the last year and sold their best players for pittance and then left and never came back. Something fishy there......

GT_TDI_150

I take it all back!!

The offer for Bas DOST of VfL Wolfsburg from FC Porto has been accepted. The transfer will be completed within the next 24 hours.

FC Porto have made an offer to VfL Wolfsburg for Bas DOST of 14,110,000.

Min Bid Accepted, delighted!

Franno

Thanks it's great to get a good fair offer and I can use the money

Who are you talking about on both sides of this 2 week divide then?

Bids are always going to be put in, hard to tell at this stage if any are trying to take advantage of the situation or if any are decent fair bids worth consideration.

People who do try or are trying to take advantage of new managers who may not yet have had time to grasp the transfer dynamics of this specific GW are only out to help themselves and will damage the GW in the grand scheme of things.

If they just don't talk about it for a period until the talk blows over, then maybe take the p1ss out of the situation everything will be alright in the end.
