FM24 Rumour: Future transfer dates

There are rumours swirling around that FM24 will include future transfer dates. So when you start the game on say July 15th Jordan Henderson will still be at Liverpool but will then move to Saudi Arabia on July 27th.

What do people make of this possible new feature?

I don't really like the idea of future transfers happening as i'm playing I like my world to be built based on how I play, the concept of it being predetermined seems really odd. 

But I do like the idea of being able to start in July and have the squads exactly as they were on July 1st, so you can make decisions whether to buy or sell players e.g. keep Kane at Tottenham if you think the real life clubs made a mistake.

It's unclear now exactly how it will work. How do you think it will work and would you use it?

This is awesome……I usually try to do this on my own by loaning guys back to their original team….i.e - With the In-Game Editor, I would be loan Henderson back to Liverpool until July 27th. 

It is really needed for the transfers that happen after the season starts, such as Kane.……many players will play 2 or 3 games with their club before their transfer……I like keeping the rosters real best I can :-).

If you don't like it, I'm sure FM will give the option to turn it off.

Terrible idea

i want realism from my game

thats like buying FM23 today, the players need to be at the clubs in real time

If I wanted unrealistic stats and data I would buy fifa 

I'm glad you do not want it. I would suggest you not use the option and play like you always do. That's' what makes FM so great, it allows the user to play how he/she likes. For example, I will not play the women's leagues, but I'm happy they are offering it as it will bring joy to someone.

you are assuming its an option…..

@Bielsa is a Legend it would be insane for it not to be an option. To completely change how CM/FM has worked for 20+ years in the final iteration of the game makes no sense, I don't think it's even worth considering the idea that it wouldn't be optional.

Hopefully it's three options (1) start with squads as they were on the date you started no future transfers (2) same as (1) but with future transfers (3) the game as it is now.

It will be really interesting to see how they do it though, what about transfers that were agreed in May but only went through in July for example?

Maybe a better idea might be that they're not as future transfers but there's a high chance clubs go after the same players they did in real life, but your own actions could change that since it's not set in stone.

Although to be honest all of that is making me think this rumour is either a lie or relates to a much more dumbed down feature than we're expecting. It would be a huge undertaking otherwise and likely would have been a headline feature.

Good points
