Dejavu?

Wow! It didn’t take long did it. Just hours after the update, teams had already started splashing out heavily on players. 24 hours later and I see a young striker (5* potential I admit, but from my own personal experiences, he will never get there) sold for £2m when his transfer value is just £300k. I also see a half decent DC being advertised in the market place for £1.5m, “price will not be negotiated.” Again, this DC has a transfer value of just £300k. Managers see an upward slope on their projection graph and feel the need to spend it.

So who is to blame then? The seller for the asking price or the buyer for paying it? Definitely the buyer. If no one paid the asking price, the seller would have to lower it, but seen as inflated offers are flying around, so are inflated asking prices. In a few months inflation will be huge, with managers not having the money to afford what players have become to be worth. When that time comes, yet again the transfer market will fall into meltdown and activity will once again be low. When that time comes, who will be to blame do you think? I can tell you right now it will be SI’s fault for one reason or another. Not the manager’s, who went out and spent until he (or she, I feel I stereotype a little too much when addressing the FML community, if any ladies read this or any other posts I make, on here or in game, then please don’t take offence) could spend no more.

I urge everyone to enjoy the game and the transfer market, but also to be careful in your spending, as another financial crisis and inactive transfer market is just around the corner. Final word? We are the ones who destroy key elements of this game, not the developers. “Fanboi?” Maybe…
