i started a career with Notts County, first season got promoted to league one finishing in second place. My transfer budget to attempt to stay up was a massive £20,000.

I then got taken over and there was a new owner in charge, so before my new season in league one started I had a transfer budget of £18,000,000. Anyone had this before? I'm hoping for play-offs this season and need some help finding a good enough striker, any help?

Worth noting, I've signed 15 players, and spent £5,500,000. I did release 17 players though, so big turnover was needed.

I've never had anything like that big of an increase. I saw York get an £8m transfer budget when in the conference in one game I played. They struggled to spend much of it though!

First time it's ever happened, problem is you can't really spend it. All the half decent players don't really want to join Notts County so it's a little pointless.

Presumably over the course of a couple seasons you'll be able to snap up all the best players from clubs in League One and Two and build a good side that way? Offering fees that those clubs accept and paying decent wages for that level, but nothing crazy that higher profile players would expect.

I can imagine it's a bit tough if the boardroom expectations suddenly jump to winning the league immediately or something. As you say you cannot straight away attract players to do that.

Tbf I have started buying good youth players from the lower leagues, £1,700,000 on a RW from Scunthorpe. £1,300,000 on a CB from Peterborough.

Expectations haven't gone up though, the owner says he wants to become a force in Europe but I only have to stay up this season.

That sounds perfect then, you're all setup for a cracking save there I reckon.

Potential to be the best one I've had along with my 8 year Newcastle career where I won champs league.

Owner is great, accepts any request I make, new training ground and youth facilities.

Christ, I thought playing as them after their takeover before was good (FM10 before the patch I believe), that's ridiculous! I only got a £28million transfer budget after I won the Champions League with Villa!

Just mop up all of the best players at that level and try and nick a few Championship players would be my advice.

I may have overspent a little in January and been placed in a transfer embargo :animatedf: spending £12K a week more on wages than I'm meant to be.

Dropped out of the play-offs, not bothered. Gonna focus on the JPT and try for promotion fully next season. If I go up this season great - if not it doesn't matter.

It's ever happened in the first time , you can't really spend it that is the problem. It's a little pointless to all the half decent players not really want to join. Though some verified soccer tipsters goes with it.
