Transfer Budget Mega Fix V1.0

Whilst I find the concept of this interesting and it's definitely something that needs to be looked at I'm curious how you've handled things such as salary and wage caps in some leagues and also how you've factored in the differences in how clubs are run. For instance, some clubs may use 50% of their balance for transfers, smaller clubs may be significantly less.

This isn't a criticism, but I am genuinely interested in your approach

I agree, after I uploaded this database I was tweaking some things like wage caps, transfer budgets and looking at teams in debt. I also forgot to look into teams whose bank balance wasn't that high as other teams, for example Brighton's transfer budget went down but their bank balance went up when I simulated.

My approach was to try and make this fair and realistic for every team because before this the transfer budgets and wages were outstandingly unrealistic.

I've had this concept in my head for some time now and I was trying to implement it perfectly to how it is IRL. 

I appreciate your comment, if you find anything that needs fixing let me know and I'll try to solve it 🙂 

I'm working on my own project at the moment but intend to take a look at this when I go back to playing. I mean just focusing on the Premier League for a minute you want to take variables at both ends of the table really. Brighton are a good midpoint, then you have a club like Man City and a club like Luton. You then have your upper, middle and lower. 

I stumbled across this https://www.capology.com/uk/premier-league/salaries/ which seemingly has information about salaries and contracts and some things.  This (while not to be taken as gospel) coupled with https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ for things like market values and transfer behaviours could allow you to analyse transfer behaviour in quite a bit of detail.

I think it's a good concept to try and implement though and I'm always excited about stuff that improves realism.

Hi sorry for the late reply.

I do enjoy the feedback you're giving and I'm 100% committed to make changes in V2.0 this week after reading the replies you said.

I will definitely take a look at them websites you suggested and balance out the budgets and salaries a bit more. I'm looking to make things even more realistic to assist your enjoyment in some way, so if you have anymore suggestions do let me know as I'll listen to all of them 🙂

Also I'm looking into tweaking players contracts and market values too later in this database just to give it that extra realism boost.

That sounds good as well. There is some good realism mods out there so more never hurts. I find the more choices the more you can mix and match, plus it's good to see how other people do things too. I can refine my own ideas that way. I don't mind giving feedback or ideas. It's just stuff I pick up on and think about with my own clubs. I'm used to working on a budget, so give me a club with lots of money and I won't know what I'm doing lol.

I don't want to rush updates too much as well maybe like once a week or two just depends on the changes I'm making and how in depth it is. 

I like how you're working on your own thing that's related to stuff like what I'm doing now, but it could become stressful so I'm just keeping an eye on one thing at a time 🙂

Yeah it defo can be stressful. Sometimes something that seems relatively simple can get really complicated.  Just take it slow and work out little bits at the time. At the end of the day it's got your name on it, so you need to be happy with it.
