Hi Guys, at first I'd like to thank all of you for making Live Update as accurate as possible, I'm giving plenty of transfers but it's not possible for me to update all leagues in europe, even if I had the time.

But I also see many wrong transfers, and by wrong transfers I mean all rumours, speculations and made up informations from tabloids.

So I've decided to write down rules, we must follow to be as accurate as possible.

1. Source must be reliable and without words like : closing, have a try, trying, will be trying. Give proofs with : is moving to, is confirmed, both clubs confirming/confirmed, player confirmed.

2. Check what club the player is in. I mean situations when player was on loan in 14/15 and he's moving on loan to other club or moving to another club as a complete transfer. The best way is to do it by reading the source (for example : the player which was loaned last year to x, from club y, is moving to club z. And you set move from y to z, quite obvious I think.)

3. Set the contract expiry dates on november/december '15 and for may/june '16. Like in real life.

4. Check the wages when you're moving the player from better club to worse club. It's normal that you won't be earning 10000 pounds in small club in 3rd division. Or if the player is moving from China, Arabic Countries where wages are ridiculous. In normal editor you can set 0 wages and game will automaticly give him wages calculating his ability and reputation, and league of course.

5. Check the club you are releasing player from. Because many people releasing players from loaning clubs they're loaned to, not from ther 'mother' clubs.

6. Check the NAME or COMMON NAME of the player. I'm talking mostly about Spain, Portugal, Brazil (but all South American countries are in my mind). I mean, many players are in game called like : Juan, Lucas, Jose Martinez, Willian, Tiago, Juan Manuel. And I suggest and advise to check the player's ID MANUALLY. Because if there are almost 100 players with name Juan Manuel, the Live Update search won't show them all.

7. If you see a mistake transfer/loan/release - report it in THIS thread.

8. It's not a must-do but it would be helpful to put a source in english language. Mainly because with other languages we must translate the news into english and watch out for words I've writen in point 1.

I hope that I've helped some people, and clear some things you didn't know about it.
