When a manager promotes to level 4 unlocks negotiations.
That means when a player has quality that ends to _9, close to the next star, is in the nego list, visible from other managers who are in the same server (that’s a rule) and near levels.
So we can have offers for players with quality 19, 39, 59, 79, 99, 119, 139, 159, 179 or higher/lower “hidden” qualities.
For example when we have a low q player for many seasons, his q isn’t 1*/19% but lower.
What we want mostly, is to sell players lower than 99 as we don’t use them in our games and get some tokens from them.
So a new manager lv4 it’s hard to sell a player because his 59-79% players are not visible from lower levels and his players with 99% - 119% are useful for the team (unless for some reason he wants to sell them).
But he can buy players from higher levels.
Sometimes, when the list doesn’t have enough 99% players, there are also 98% or even 97% players. So don’t be surprised if you see an offer coming for a player you have with 77%.
When we go in the list, we can see a column with the min tokens we must offer for a player.
Those tokens are a “tax” and goes only to the game .
None of them goes to the other manager so your offer starts from 0.
Don’t do that.
The other manager not gonna like it and possibly will hold your tokens without any response.
He gets no token and the money are less than selling the player in the market.
In the old times, this had some meaning because it was hard to sell a mediocre player (specially after the middle of the season) but now every player you sell, a bot team buys him.
So there is no reason to accept a 0 offer (except from mistake).
If you want a make an offer without spending a lot of tokens, start with a couple of tokens so the other manager see that you are serious and maybe he can put the price he wants.
Of course the other manager (the seller) can have a bigger offer than your 2 tokens and sell his player without bothering to negotiate for more.
If you have an offer, you can increase to the amount of tokens you want, moving the bar down right.
But you must do that wisely considering if your player is worthy for the tokens you ask.
Will you give those tokens as a buyer ?
The total amount you give for an offer is the tax + the tokens for the seller X2 because here is the second tax for the game.
If we want to offer 5 tokens for the other manager, the total amount is 8 (first) tokens +5 +5=18 tokens.
Those tokens the game holds for 24h till the offer expires.
In an offer you made, you can increase the amount if you want – for example 5>7, so 8+7+7=22 but in this case, the game takes as tax from you 1 token even if the other seller rejects your offer, so I don’t recommend to do that.
Start with a reasonable price of tokens and wait some reply from the seller.
Many times the seller isn’t active or not interesting to sell his player so you ‘re gonna loose your token with no reason.
If the seller replies to your offer asking for more, you ‘ll have a message when you log in.
Then you ‘ll go in nego player , down in the bar and move it to the right, increasing the tokens, till you ‘ll see the button – “Buy now”.
Keep in mind that also the 2nd tax gonna increase giving a new total amount.
I offered 5 tokens, he asked for 15. No way, he is to old. I refused.
* he asked one more token so I gave it
I offered 6 tokens. He asked for 10 (totally 30 tokens cost for me).
I accept. A player like him costs 40-50 tokens in auctions the first day of the season.
The good part in negotiations is that if you spend the same tokens with an auction, the game’s tax doesn’t increase the money of the player as like bidding.
We cannot see the players we have in nego list.
If wondering why we do not have any offers, then possibly the players we have aren’t interesting for other managers.
A player with a single position (DL, MR, AMC), with no special ability and older age would never attract other managers to make an offer as there is at least the minimum tax of 7-8 tokens.
Remember that it’s not only the prerequisite of the lv and server but also the fact that only a smaller group of those managers is able to see your player in the list. There is some rotation too.
Another manager can see your player in the list today but not in the next 2-3 days and see him again after that.
Also there are some hidden sub-groups. Meaning that a manager you know with the requirements of LV and server, might not ever seen your players in his nego list.
You cannot change server. Sometimes the game might merge some servers but it's rare.
In negotiations, if you have an offer for your player, you can see the manager’s profile.
But you can’t see the manager’s profile of player you want to buy from the list.
A list player can be a 7* for the other team so the other manager isn’t interesting to sell.
The most active period is the beginning of the season where everyone wants to build his team .
After the middle of the season, things are very calm so only a very special player (2-3 positions, sa, young) can attract some offers.
If you don’t have any offers, you can keep your player for the beginning of the next season.
Doesn’t matter if you promote a level.
But you must keep paying his salary or maybe have to renew his contract the next season, giving some extra bonus for this.
For managers who are familiar with the old version, the players there needed 1 sp to the next star so to be in nego list.
Now it’s ok if someone has _9 quality.
When we get our player at _9 quality, the better we can do to keep him in nego list is to add an extra position or sa so the gaining goes there and not in quality because after few training or 1-2 games our player gonna move to the next star and be removed from the list.
Things that can spoil his _9 quality are :
- When he ‘s playing in a match and gets the Man of the match title, he ‘ll get a reward of +4 skills.
Also remember that if you don’t want your nego player to participate in a match, you must have him in Reserves and not in Substitutions because he can be used as auto-sub of an injured player.
- When he ‘ll get the daily gift sp from our friends.
In that case, what we can do is to start an auction for our player, open the gift-box from our friend (which will go to another random player) and go immediately to cancel the auction.
- Finally when sometimes a bug of the game, gives in skills gaining instead of sa or position.
Negotiations is a great future of the game but needs a lot of improvement.
