I've taken over 700 clubs and divided their bank balance value by 2 to generate what the transfer budget would be. For example:
Manchester United transfer budget went from £1,000,000 to £40,000,000 as their bank balance is £80,000,000.
Some clubs like Aston Villa, Everton, Nottingham Forest & Burnley had a £1 balance, but this has been changed from what their current net worth is now. (roughly)
43 leagues & 800 clubs have seen a change in their budgets. Sub divisions will get fixed but for now I've focused on the top divisions so far.
the leagues I've completely fixed are:
- Premier League
- Championship
- League One
- League Two
- Laliga
- Bundesliga
- Serie A (Italy)
- Ligue 1
- Eredivisie
- Serie A (Brazil)
- Liga Portugal
- Jupiler Pro League

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
Mcfchazza
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 🙂
xbenjaminx
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.
Mcfchazza
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.
xbenjaminx
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.
Mcfchazza
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 🙂
xbenjaminx
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.

Hello mate, Has there been an update on the file? Thanks again
Mcfchazza
Hi Mate.
Sorry for the late reply, there will be an update on this after Christmas. Was planning on doing it before but been very busy with personal life but there will be an update before the new year. Hope this helps 🙂
Nitan Wachirapaet
Hi, I am new to the FM mods, so I have some questions. Normally I load up Manchester United and only have 3-4 million. I tried finding mods that would help change this and only found yours but only to 40 million. However, I saw you mention Manchester United have 80 million on the post. Is there a way I could get the 80 million?

Pre game or in game editors

Hi mate, when do you think the next update will be available? Many thanks

fmilln7
Hi Mate, Just wondering how the update is going? Thanks again for your work
Mcfchazza
Hi mate, thanks for the positive comment. This update will be a big one so just tweaking a few bits and making sure everything is working properly. Shouldn't be too long now. 🙂
fmilln7
Thanks for your update mate. Brilliant work. Makes a huge difference in game. Thanks again
