    Trotter’s Free Transfer Co. | Can you succeed in FM on free transfers alone? - Part 2

    Trotter's Free Transfer Co. | Can you succeed in FM on free transfers alone? - Part 2

    See Part 1 for the rules and objectives!

    A story in which Del Boy tries to make it to the big time without spending a penny.

    [Profit so far: £0]

    [Staff members named Rodney: 0]

    [Staff members named Albert: 0]

    Season two begins with Dulwich Hamlet. Derek Edward "Del Boy" Trotter saw his team promoted through the playoffs and winning the FA Trophy last season. But he's not happy. Why? The club failed to make a significant profit.

    However, failing to make a profit on players doesn't mean you lost money. Gate receipts and new sponsorship deals mean that Del Boy has a budget of £71.6k to play around with, and a wage budget of £18k. Immediately I shunt all funding into the wage budget and start scouring the market.

    Del Boy secures himself a new coaching licence. If we're going to make it to the big time, we need to be as attractive to the big clubs and the big players as possible.

    ​

    Continental Pro licence here we come!

    ​

    19/20 - Incoming Players

    Here we go. This is it. There are hundreds of players out in the market ready to be snapped up for no money whatsoever. Del Boy sticks on his spectacles and dives into Teletext the scouting centre.

    Hamlet's scouts - all regen staff members under the age of 35 - have already been scouring the UK scene. Del Boy's got his eyes elsewhere.

    Donning his lightest sheepskin, and packing the factor five suncream, he jets out to Italy. He comes back having offered no less than 50 players trials at The Hamlet.

    None accept.

    Undeterred it's back to plan A: UK rejects.

    • Jonathan Dinzeyi - 20 - DC - Released by Tottenham
    • Kristijian Belic - 19 - DM - Released by West Ham
    • Tom Dinsmore - 18 - CM - Released by Bournemouth
    • Tyrell Hamilton - ST - Released by Bournemouth
    • Domininc Bernard - 22 - DL - Released by Birmingham
    • Ali Omar - 19 - DC - Released by QPR

    All six of these new acquisitions can slot straight into the main team. Hamilton and Dinsmore are the real coups, both being good National League players with bags of potential.

    ​

    Dinsmore is the best of the bunch

    ​

    19/20 - Season Results

    I'm feeling more and more like a Director of Football rather than a manager, as Del Boy lets his assistant and Halesowne Town legend Stuart Maynard do most of the coaching.

    The season gets off to an awful start. Hamlet are 17th by Christmas and despite the new players performing well (particularly Dinsmore, who records a 96% passing accuracy in midfield over 13 appearances) the team appears to be sinking.

    Then a lightbulb goes on over Del Boy's head - which is odd as they hadn't paid the electricity bill that month. Dinsmore and longtime club servant Nyren Clunis have been by far the best players. Del Boy and Maynard reorganise the team around this attacking duo, with Dinsmore as an attacking AP and Clunis cutting in from wide.

    Hamlet go on an insane run of games, losing only 4 matches between January and April. Going into the final two games of the season Del Boy's team is 8th, one place outside the playoffs. Then we get battered by Bromley 5-2. A win against 4th-placed Dagenham could see Hamlet in the playoffs.

    We get utterly FM'd and lose 1-0. Dulwich Hamlet finished the season in 9th place.

    ​

    The final table in 19/20

    ​

    19/20 - Player Stats

    • Jonathan Dinzeyi - 40 APP | 0 GL | 1 A | 3 POM | 6.89 - SOLD for 10k
    • Kristijian Belic - 37 APP | 4 GL | 2 A | 3 POM | 6.95
    • Tom Dinsmore - 41 APP | 9 GL | 1 A | 7 POM | 7.05 - SOLD for 8k
    • Tyrell Hamilton - 42 APP | 15 GL | 0 A | 5 POM | 6.89
    • Domininc Bernard - 41 APP | 0 GL | 5 A | 2 POM | 6.89
    • Ali Omar - 42 APP | 1 GL | 1 A | 1 POM | 6.78

    All six of the lads brought in were crucial to the 19/20 campaign. Not really surprising given they're all Premier League youth rejects but still not a bad haul.

    Dinsmore ran the midfield and probably as can be expected wanted to move to a bigger club.

    Apparently that bigger club was St. Jonhstone, who snapped him up for 8k. Dinzeyi heard that Scottish clubs were sniffing around and got St. Mirren on the line. They forked over 10k plus a 50% next sale clause.

    £18,000 profit so far! Just £499 million to go. Baby steps.

    ​

    20/21 - Incoming Players

    Here we go again. It's soon summer preseason time. The sun is shining, Del Boy is sunburned and clubs everywhere are jettisoning young, talented and easy-to-flog players. My little objective this summer is get some fancy European talent through the doors.

    Del Boy gets an email in early May. Dulwich Hamlet are building an entirely new stadium for £6.5m. The cursing can be heard from the training ground (actually a playing field). A £3.5m loan and sponsorship worth £2.9m all come into play to fund "Kadi Park".

    Oh, and the percentage of retained transfer income has just been set to 25%.

    ​

    You're kidding me...

    ​

    It gets worse. I spend July scouring released lists. I send out more than 160 trial requests. Six players accept. Players don't think Hamlet can give them enough cash. I decide to leave it until mid-August, when contractless players start to get desperate. It bags me 11 new faces, with the cream of the crop being:

    • Matthew Dennis - 18 - RW - Released by Arsenal
    • Shane Flynn - 18 - LW - Released by Leicester City
    • Enock Asante - 18 - ST - Released by Tottenham
    • Teddy Jenks - 18 - CM - Released by Brighton

    In some bright news we sign our first staff member named Dave Rodney. Rodney McAuley from Ireland joins as Head of Youth Development. Emile Heskey turns up to manage the U23 squad, which is nice.

    ​

    Welcome to Dulwich, Dave

    With that we prepare to better our 9th placed finish and kick off the 20/21 season in Part 3!

    ​

    This time next season we'll be millionaires!

    A Former Save-scummer

    Posted: 24 Jul 2020 10:52 AM PDT

    For most of the time I've played FM (since 1996), I've been guilty of save-scumming.

    I had pretty strict rules about it: I would only do it if I'd clearly been done over by the match engine last minute, or had a player sent off in the first ten minutes, or sometimes if I went 5-0 down by half time. Most times I'd try to not do it, but I'd impulsively do it out of frustration.

    Then I realised that even the rules I set were just excuses for not playing the game properly.

    So I decided early in lockdown to start my first genuine save. I set it to auto-save each week and would not reload AT ALL. No matter what. It's turning out to be the most fun I've had playing FM in many years. You feel the defeats and losing streaks more bitterly, but those wins, last minute equalisers and title wins are all the sweeter. It forced me to analyse mistakes more, and plan out my tactics more carefully, as I knew there were no second chances.

    As a result, the urge to save-scum has practically disappeared

    What kind of tricks do you guys like to use to 'outsmart' the AI?

    Posted: 24 Jul 2020 07:38 PM PDT

    Example: Adding and then removing/excluding sell on clauses so the AI wont put it in there when suggesting.
