Also you get a 7.8 player, but no mention of age.
IF they advertised a 7.8 player who was 18 yo and you did in fact get 20% off (around £8.20), I might have even thought about it, but has anyone really bought these??
I learned a long time ago, and I bought a lot of those deals that you are never going to get a player that is worth buying. First, they are too old. They are meant to help that season than they lose 20%. If you buy one now, you get him for one week. Second, my experience is unless stated exactly you always get the lowest promised star. I do spend money but not for this stuff because it is never a deal. I am surprised that Nordeus doesn’t really offer once in a while 30 to 50% off. I understand there are cultural differences on doing business so perhaps that is it (American here) but I have lived twenty plus years overseas, which is where I get my love for futbol, and I am still surprised that they never really show thankfulness toward their customer base by offering them that benefits the customer instead of them. I mean they set it up to play a season a month. Why not one month out of the year do something wild. If you think about you draft a player at 18 and if you are involved, he s gone from the starting lineup in six years. The worse thing in my opinion is the 20% loss every season.
