Transfer panel | Manager career FIFA 16 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In FIFA 16, you deal with the, so called, Global Transfer Network, which provides you with new opportunities when it comes to transfers and searching for new players. To perform transactions, you need to have, at least, one scout - thanks to information from scouts, are you able to scrutinize the player that you are interested in and determine all of his statistics and skills. Talent hunters that you need to hire beforehand, can be dispatched into any area available in the game - each one of them can be precisely defined, by choosing the country and the division, where you want to search for the players who, in the long run, will join the ranks of your squad.
Of course, the work that the scouts make will be completely useless without clear instructions for them to follow, while scouting - you need to specify the position of the player that you are looking for, his age and the duration of the contract that you want to sign. Also, this is a way to specify the six attributes of the player that you want for your squad - there are several dozens of variants, so you can be sure that you will eventually find the one that suits your needs. After a while, you get to view a list of players that meet the predetermined criteria but, you still do not have full info on the players. You receive information about players only after you have performed a more thorough observations and analyses of the player's potential. Of course, you still have access to the option to search for players in the regular way, which has been present in the previous installments of the game. Here, you enter basic parameters, such as position, division or age. Also, there is an option of finding the specific player by his name. However, this is a bit more difficult because here, the overall numerical ratio is absent, and it often decides the usefulness of the player for the team.
the first official step that you make, in order to acquire the player, is sending out a request for that player. Soon, you receive a response in your mailbox, which specifies financial expectations of the club - only then, you can make the transfer offer and address the club's expectations. Unfortunately, you can often expect a decline right from the outset of the negotiations. After you have analyzed your options, the only thing left to do is to make an offer and await return mail from the club - whether you succeed or fail depends not only on your financial liquidity. Often, negotiations concerning compensation fee and the value of the contract are very long and it is not a good idea to leave transfers for the last day of the transfer window, may simply be to late to finalize the transaction. You need to remember that you can give away one of your own players, as a part of the settlement. Also, it is a good idea to use the option to borrow a player, with predefined price, which allows you to try out the player first, before you buy him.
