FIFA Challenge League Homepage III

Further to that, most people had two spots they wanted to improve on anyway, so selling a player you couldn't replace was annoying.

You could always add that selling a domestic gets you an extra foreign for the week

Azzy wrote:I do think all this will do is massively force the price of domestics up, and mean we're forced into paying massively over the odds for players worth a fraction of the price being demanded. No-one will ever want to part with a good player domestically because it'll be much harder to buy from without the league.

For 2) I think bonuses should definitely. Then in two minds about lawyers and releases.

For me the bigger problem is that using transfermarkt for all foreign fees means that some players are underpriced and people will always exploit that. That is the critical issue.

Locking values doesn't work unless it's permanent (which I think could work)

Lawyers fees can only be spent on domestic transfers?

Azzy's idea of lawyers being available as domestics will help definitely.

If we start with PL squads full of players we've actually heard of there'll be a lot more domestic deals.

As a completely separate idea if my league suggestion on Sports Gaming isn't dead in the water? Fear it is though....
Transfers the same as I said, short cycle in charge of each club.
I initially thought voting on each other's squads would be the way, but what about a fifa league to decide results.
Submit squads -  Same tactics used in all your team's games in that rotation.
Two groups of four (assuming eight teams)
Do a cup final for the winners of each group and a game between the 2nd place teams to determine 3rd and 4th.
Total of 14 games per cycle, and you could get on with the next rotation whilst waiting for the fifa games to be completed.

I'd be interested in a FIFA league like the other one, but with higher starting teams and a few tweaks to encourage domestics.

Not sure how Azzy's team encourages domestics. Surely its just a foreign by another name, but doesn't come out of the foreign allowance. I can only see that that will hinder domestics. Agree

I would have a normal budget and a foreign budget, with foreigns only being able to be bought from that foreigns pot.

Lawyers proceeds go into the normal pot; bonuses and releases proceeds go into the foreigns pot, domestics can go into either pot

And if you did that, I wouldn't bother with locking valuations at all, as the profits will go into domestics pot and be spent in the league - Agree 100% and my tweak encourages a sale of those players that have had increases. The only way you can get a benefit from the increase is to sell domestically so it could potentially be put into the foreign pot.
