Player search | Transfers FM 2014 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

There's a time for changes in every manager's life. One of these periods is obviously transfer window. If you don't have any player that you want to buy or your scouts gave you too little report, you should take a look at Player search.

You can search players by their positions, age, attributes or contract status. It's a good idea to scout a player before negotiations to see if he's going to be useful in the team. Your assistant may filter some results and not show you unreal transfers, your own players or the ones out of scouting reach. Sometimes you may succeed in convincing someone marked as an unreal transfer to move to your club, however it's not easy and costs quite a lot.

Offering trial is a good way to test a player before signing a contract. Remember that he can't play in matches for money so you should arrange a friendly match during the trial.
