While unsettling opponents’ players is a useful tactic, it’s crucial to manage your squad to avoid creating similar issues at your club. Here’s how you can avoid it on Football Manager 2024::
Avoid Frequent Role Changes
Changing a player’s squad status too often can unsettle them. If a player starts as a key player and is suddenly relegated to a rotation role, they may become unhappy. Stick to clear, consistent communication regarding their place in the team.
Be Careful with Transfer Rumors
Declaring interest in players at positions already filled in your squad can unsettle your current players. For example, openly chasing a new striker might upset your existing forwards. Balance your ambitions by managing expectations within the team.
Limit Unnecessary Transfer Bids
Making frequent bids for players in the same position as your starters can damage morale. If you don’t have immediate plans to replace someone, avoid creating unnecessary tension by bidding for their potential replacements.
Handle Squad Status Diplomatically
If you must adjust a player’s role, explain your reasoning during one-on-one discussions. Use clear, positive language to ensure they feel valued, even if their role diminishes.
Rotate Wisely
Players often grow unhappy if they feel underused or overburdened. Rotate your squad carefully to ensure everyone feels involved, but don’t overpromise game time to fringe players.
Unsettling a player in FM24 is as much about psychology as it is about finances. Whether targeting a rival’s star or maintaining harmony within your own team, these strategies can give you the edge. Just remember: while unsettling a player can make them easier to sign, overusing these tactics risks creating unhappiness at your own club. Play the game smartly, and you’ll build a team of content and motivated players.
