I've had a play through with them. A tough save if you don't know what you are doing. A great little challenge if you fancy building a squad from scratch.
This thread is worth a read also: https://community.sigames.com/topic/507500-inter-miami-a-clean-slate-for-a-dna-save/

Yes, MLS is kinda my league, I know a lot about it, what questions do you have
EnigMattic1
Basically? I would kinda like stuff like 'Disabled list' and the 2 allocation funds explained in 'idiot speak', also, how does the Academy setup work? I get the impression Inter Miami's is bugged as, despite what the editor says, it is not affiliated with the main team, nor does it use the same colours.
I have a vague idea of how the trade and draft systems work (I've got a pretty decent team at Miami), but, I feel I'm missing out on the greater experience because I don't know the finer details.

Once you get your head around it, it's pretty easy to grasp.
So the disabled list is where a player gets injured, and if he's injured for more than 6 weeks he doesn't count toward your salary cap. Speaking of the salary cap, you have a budget you can spend on wages per week, you cannot go over this. There are also designated player contracts, which do not count towards your salary, you can 3 DP contracts but can trade for more.
Trades can be made for draft picks (where the MLS gets their newgen players from, instead of youth intake) international player slots or DP contracts. International player slots are just that, slots for foreign players. You can have as many of these as you want, but you only get 7 so if you want more you need to trade for them.
The allocation funds are like your transfer budget. Basically, when you sell a player the money from that gets split up, you get some to go back into your transfer budget and the league gets some of it. You will also receive target allocation money each season, this is like the board putting money into your salary budget, it's based off league position, sponsors that kind of thing.
There's no academy teams in FM. Most teams have a B team that play in their regional leagues, which unfortunately aren't playable in FM. You can move players to your B league and try and get them developed, but with squad registration you can't leave a player in a B team and not register him for your first team, otherwise he gets waive. When a player is waived, he becomes a restricted free agent. If he was signed in the MLS draft, including real life players, then he can't be signed by another MLS team until the waiver draft, which is before the super draft. If he hasn't been signed by a MLS team before, then he can be signed by another MLS team during the transfer window.
Let me know what other info you need
EnigMattic1
So what is the deal with academy teams then? I see the rest of the MLS has them and, in their transfer history, they have brought players in from there. But Inter Miami's just seems broken.
I can navigate the salary cap pretty easily, I am about 5k under my 63k limit despite having some decent players. I have registered a max of 30 players yet my board still want 'high profile' players. Is that in relation to the club reputation or is that a dp?
How does signing players from abroad work? Would someone like Ibrahimovic, Beckham, Rooney or Gerrard use a dp slot AND an international slot?
Is there any way around finding a player who 'cannot be signed until drafted'? I have found a handful of decent, young players but I can't even approach them. I found them early 2019 but they never appeared in any of the drafts between finding them and the start of the season.

Well that clears a few things up, thanks. My biggest concern, as I said, was the 'high profile' signings. I've traded in the likes of Dom Dwyer and Jordan Morris but I just don't have the reputation for any really big names. I can't even get someone from the bottom half of the Premiership.
I need to trim my squad a bit though as, even if I could find someone, I couldn't register them anyway.
