anyone know if you can save your transfer budget for the following season , whenever i save money at the end of season , i seem to lose it when the new budget comes in, the new budget being the same even if i had spent all money. anyone know if they automatically save it or does it depend what team you pick
any suggestions anyone ???
thanks ..
Its all to do with your balance and that doesnt change massively overnight so the budget stays near enough the same generally
yh i dont mean lose it literally , i mean is it swallowed up by the club at end of season to pay running costs , like to know coz i rather save the money up then rush to spend it so i dont lose it for next season..
just seem to lose the money i had left when new budget comes in .. like if i was given 15m and saved 15 m i would have 30 million instead of just budget being 15m and the rest taken back by the club coz i did not spend it
I would just spend it if I was you. I tend to buy all the cheap youngsters outside of the window anyhow so it uses my budget up
ok thank you for replying but would still like to know if you can save transfer money, maybe its there when you ask board for more money maybe ..
Most people who deal with budgets are uncomfortably familiar with the term "use it or lose it". It you don't spend this year's budget, you won't get that much more next year, and in unfortunate cases, you'll get less because you clearly didn't need that much.
FM isn't as bad as that; the computation, invisible to you (but you can ask for more, if you dare), is based on club finances, ambition, and how much the board trust you. You'll get more in your tenth season than your second just because they trust you and know you'll behave responsibly (assuming you have in your previous years). So you don't tend to get less because you were responsible and didn't spend all of last year's, you'll instead get positive reactions for being so responsible.
In the case of FM there is one way that sometimes works: if you have budget that's not used, make a deal to buy a player in the second half of the season, but before the season has ended. This transfer seemingly will often end up on the books of the current season, not the new season, so you'll "start fresh" with a new budget, but still have gotten that player for the new season. Not sure the precise parameters of when a transfer is charged to a particular year's budget, but I have had this work.
