What hack have you been using in FIFA? I never get any money to spend in the winter.
troughout career mode when winning games, "the board" gives you more cash.
I think, the younger lads, are often misguided by the simplification that is fifa.
MANY many here dont realise how budgeds work, but once you know it its simple really.
Financial year ends in June/July. Teams make up a goal to reach and calculate their turnover and expenses and decide on a budged. Because of merchandising of the new shirt, sponsership yearly payments and season ticket sale, the club gets liquid cash to spend.
Players are bought and sold, and the budged gets adjusted trough the summer.
Then we have a bad Q1, cause of mercato (unless ur a filthy seller team like napoli), a good Q2, thanks to CL, a bad Q3 due to allmost none cl games and few games in general, and a average/good Q4 depending on european results.
That Cl money ? incalculated at the start of the season. the team actually takes an operational loan for wages and transfers in the summer, and fill it with this extra income.
Come winter, there is really no change compared to summer. Income has been used to cover the operational loands from the summer and for the comming months. Are players bought ? yes if there is a massive emergency. But teams will never sell a good player halfseason for a reasonable price. why would they ?
The above is easy to understand for a non financially schooled person. But it needs to be repeated a few times during the year so the newer members or vaguely posting ones understand that juventus doesnt do wintermercato's, unless its really neccecary like the del neri year when we had massive muscular injuries ravaging the team and frontline.
