2. Watch the free agents list for some quality players
The free agents are players without a club who are available for free. All you need to do is sort out the contract details and they will be able to join your club. Every so often, a good quality player can pop up out of nowhere.
If they fit into your team and they are willing to join you, you should submit an offer. Look for the youngsters specifically as these players usually have some good potential.
3. Loan offers are always great
Signing players on loan is a great cheap alternative to signing players on a permanent deal. Many clubs will be wanting to send off their youngsters for playtime, you could grab these players if they are useful to you in your squad. Although loan players are not permanent, they are still great alternatives and placeholders for your team.
4. Take advantage of the shortlist feature
You are able to shortlist them, which simply tags them so they are easier to find later on. While searching for players, you should shortlist a few players that fit your criteria. Negotiate with the best option first, but in case if that is not possible, go for the alternative options. They may not be as good, but you can’t always have what you want in SM21.
5. Handle incoming offers properly for a stable team
Clubs may sometimes approach you with various offers for your players. Don’t immediately go for the money as the player you will be selling may be crucial to your squad. You go ahead with the deal only if you feel that you can easily replace the departing player, or you feel that the player is not needed anymore in your team.
6. Watch the player’s Contract expiry
While searching for players, you will be able to filter them by their contract expiry. This will allow you to find the players that are nearing the end of their contract. With this, you will be able to sign players for bargain prices. On the other hand, some players who play till the end of their contract will be released for free. High-value players can appear here sometimes, so keep a very close eye on this section.
