There’s no point nickel-and-diming a transfer fee with the manager if your target has no intention of moving, after all. Agents can quickly take the temperature of a potential transfer, letting you know if there’s any interest from the player and what their salary demands might be. Because if you can forge a good relationship with just one of these dreadful, bloodsucking parasites, a whole portfolio of players becomes a bit easier to sign. Agents can now be approached directly to strike up transfer talks, and while they’ve had individual personalities and opinions of you for many editions, those stats and values carry new weight this year. After all, perhaps you’ve plans to bring in some fresh talent to enforce a new system altogether.Īnd when you do, another of FM21’s significant changes rears its head.

Your backroom staff makes a few suggestions as to which approaches and formations best suit your current squad, but as ever you’re free (and often wise) to disagree with them completely.
