Special ability vs Stars

[Campbell]

Two players going up for sale both in the 100 point range, one special ability, one that only needs 1 sp to go to 6*. Who fetches a better % of their market value?

Star is always better, so I agree with Khris

but it is late season, and you should wait till next season to buy new players. because if you are promoted your current players will 'lose' a star for the next season.

Star, price and age are the most important factors when shopping for a new improvement of your team IMO

These are both players on my squad, going up for auction at beginning of next season, I'm going to be promoted, so both are leaving. I am selling both to get a sense of how close to full market value I can get for each player. I believe many players of top eleven are enamoured by the little picture that comes with a special ability.

I would choose Paddy any day of the week. Faster trainer propably, younger and 4 more quality.

Quick question about next season. I still have 2 players which I haven't extended their contracts as I want to sell them. I read somewhere that you can still sell them 7 days into the next season or will they be gone at the start of next season when I don't sign a new contract?

[talisman]

At the beginning of next season, they're out of contract, so you can't sell them (as they technically aren't yours to sell). You can only re-sign them (and sell them immediately) or let them leave after 7 days...

It'll probably be better if you re-sign them now as they will demand more if you're a Level higher next season - or will they demand less because they're a star lighter? Help!!!

That reminds me - I must have a look at which of the OOC players I have in the squad I want to keep...

SA dont increase the value.

no but sa attracts like a magnet possible buyers.
At the first day, a good player with sa can cause a good bidding war but cannot reach the value of a player who had sp > quality.
* above, is more common to lower (than yours) level.

[HoofDaddy]

yeah sa is great for high negotiation sales, if you dont have cash troubles go that route

Let's rank the importance of each asset:

1- Performance
2- Quality
3- Age
4- Roles
5- Special abilities

Unless they are Nordgens, players who have special abilities (SA) have gained them through training, sacrificing their quality level by 50 skill points, therefore more than three quality points. While quality does not guarantee performance, it definitely weighs in the balance.

Take a look at my team. How many SAs do you see in there?



Right. Only two. I currently am on top of my league and will win it unless I lose the last game by six goals. Unlikely, as I have the best defence in the league... with only one defender having a SA.

I also made it to the Cup semi-finals.

My second striker, Vailescu, scored on a number of direct free kicks during live matches, including three in a single game.



Is he a Free Kick Specialist? No, but his shooting ability is high and he beat goalkeepers with it!





Let's sum it up: get young guys who have quality, improve fast in training and perform. If they can play multiple positions, that's a welcome addition as they make your squad deeper.

If they already have a special ability, great, but don't spend tokens or skill points just for a SA.

guys! shouldn't I get an undefeated achievement for this?




Sorry for putting this here by mistake
