50 Year Transfer Embargo | FM22 Experiment

[@loltangera]

It occurred to me that Brentford don't have a youth academy in real life, presumably that's the same in the game. I guess they couldn't produce any decent regens.

Great idea Tom! It would be interesting to release the embargo after 50 years and check after 50 more years to see who's back up!

During transfer embargo is it still posibble to give contract to free players? I havent encounter any transfer ban (FFP ban nor Board takeover ban) 😁😁

[@llSuperSnivyll]

It's quite fitting that Milan stayed in the top flight while Inter didn't, considering Inter's foundation being because they wanted to allow foreigners in the team.

[@syauqirashadSR]

What would be interesting is if you actually have a transfer embargo on the top 5 leagues and not the teams in the top 5 leagues, idk if that's possible but that would definitely have a huge effect on europe

I used to play for Solihull Moors so proud moment in a completely non real simulation

[@dkd4466]

i just want to point out that the Serie A european place are changed. the other 4 leagues surprisingly havent changed but Italy has. This means the quality of Serie A clubs in the UCL has dropped significantly. You can tell by the 2 UCL spots for Serie A which means the "quality" in the league is good but as soon as these clubs enter the UCL they are probably out in the group stages. It wouldn't surprise me if Portugal and Holland got more UCL spots at the expense of Italy

Germany and Italy has the best youth setup along with Portugal. No surprise there when English and spanish clubs stop buying players from those leagues and they dominated because now they can retain their top players

[@samuelschonenberger]

Hamburg, Schalke and Las Palmas dominating Europe, what a fever dream But Hamburg and Schalke make sense since they are two of the biggest German clubs, they just mismanaged their way to the 2nd Bundesliga

[@JL-if5bm]

You love to see a good experiment. Would be a great idea to pick up a save after the embargo ends. Maybe to all European League's and their top 4 League's and see what happens.

[@romanscerbak5167]

By the way, Racing Santander has not been in La Liga for years now. Probably closer to a decade at this point. They have just been promoted back to La Liga 2 in 2021/22 season actually. How did Brentford lose twice in a row the UCL finals and then dropped to non-league? Mysteries... Also Castrense have enjoyed some titles. That's something. Was a pleasure seeing Grazer AK in european cups. Hopefully they reach Bundesliga finally. Also Hertha has a successful season with a final of Europa League just 2 years prior and then got relegated. FC Dnipro vibes... But Solihull Moors are the diamond of this game.

[@MiguelBCanal]

I am Portuguese and I recognize the Castrense name. They play amateur league currently (5ºdivison). I am surprised they managed to get some European cups.

[@dutchmapper6314]

For people who dont know much about Dutch football, the 55/56 Final with Telstar who in rl have been in the Dutch second tier since 1979 and with their highest ranking in that league being 4th in 82. what a bloody suprise that is. i really wana see the state of the Eredivisie in this game save.

[@mmd9]

im still trying to understand how a team that is currently in the 5th division in portugal has won the europa league... twice (fc castrense)

[@kevinb9830]

It's quite disappointing to see how FM can allow a multiple premier league winning team to still have terrible facilities and a 3k stadium.

[@indexpictures]

the game has been bad for details like that this year. the newest updates haven't even added the 5 subs rule for this coming season. probably the first year i've ever been disappointed with it, I think it was made almost entirely remote during the pandemic tbf

[@mikelitorous5570]

[@dermimey8518]

What happened in the 2nd spanish league at 8:55? Real Madrid's B team won the league in 2067/68 and 2068/69, but are in the 3rd division the season after. Does that mean that Real Madrid's main team was just promoted? Because as far as I know, a club can't play in the same division as it's B team. If I'm not wrong here, that would be mental tbh edit: Austria winning the euros in 2068 aigainst Germany, whilst also being host with Switzerland is kinda funny to see as an Austrian myself

As someone who lives just around the corner from Damson Park this is very strange to see

[@footballrevolutionbulgaria]

Good idea, mate, but not quite good execution. It's normal for Schalke and Hamburger to dominate the league, as they are in the 2nd division at the start, even tho they are quite rich in the game. It will be more interesting to ban ALL transfers in the game. This will make teams use only youth academy products, like all teams, not only top-tier teams.

[@jacksonbow2766]

I live how it's allegedly Man City Homegrown when they have access to youth academies from like 7 other good clubs around the world they own. They and Red Bull just consume the best players from the other academies, so nit really homegrown.

It's funny to me that RB Salzburg has been to 6 european finals (1 CL, 4 EL, 1 ECL) without winning, yet WSG, BW Linz and Klagenfurt all managed to snag a title for Austria. It's odd considering their ability to scout talent from weaker leagues before dumping them off to big teams. With the biggest leagues under embargo, they'd still have Haaland, Mane, Minamino, Keita, Szoboslai, Daka, Hwang, etc.

[@BD-yl5mh]

It’s always weird in these to see teams that shouldn’t have been affected also fall down. Unless I’m blind, Wrexham seemed to disappear from the playable leagues. Just seems bizarre that all the teams falling from above wouldn’t naturally pull national league teams up

This is an interesting experiment. The main take away from me is that the game is not very well designed. As you say, the big Championship teams (Forest, Sheffield United etc) should come in and take over, if the logic was programmed well. If you test a good sim game, it should perform as you'd expect in real life, or it's not working properly.

[@Goiania2121]

[@AurioDK]

The youth draw is one big lottery, so it makes sense that things get shuffled. That´s only one problem, the other being that some teams don´t produce much youth if any at all. Another can of worms is players and their unhappiness if not given the right contract because the club can´t afford the wages, do they just leave and end up rotting in the list? This also probably means that a club like Man Utd. released a lot of semi decent players on a free instead of keeping them.
