How much would you pay for a 24 year old winger with

solid winger
passable playmaker
excellent stamina
solid set pieces
passable passing


I have seen several like him with prices at or over $1 million (and some way less).

My team has been suspended pending investigation for selling this player for $700k to a team (Soccer Anonymous). This team is a year old (older than mine) and has 2 series titles. It looks like they sold all their players (only have 3 on roster) and began buying and immediately selling players over and over- at a loss 99% of the time.

I can't get in to check IPs, but I did see that I have never played this team but have 2 other sales to them, one last Feb and one last Sept. From the values, it looks like each of these 2 were trained and sold a bit later, one for a profit ($400k increase in value) and one for a small loss (though he had $116k gain in value also).

What do I do? Do I have to get screwed because some idiot decides to go nuts? How do I prove innocence for this? Looking at transfer wires, the price does not seem too much compared to others (I saw one similar guy with a bid of $1.8 million (though he had formidable set pieces).

This is kinda rambling, but it is disconcerting seeing that 'failed' thing.

I don't know who you contact, but probably the US GM - I'd just send him exactly what you typed here.

I have a player much like him and I think $700,000 is twice what he'd go for, at least according to HAM and the little I've looked into pricing him.

this should get cleared up, but the GM will take away whatever profit he deems exorbitant, if any.

Stamina: excellent Keeper: wretched
Playmaking: passable Passing: solid
Winger: solid Defending: weak
Scoring: wretched Set Pieces: formidable

I paid 950k for this guy, and i'm trying to sell him for a million.. the set pieces and passing are a bit higher, but seemed reasonable at the time.

That's my old winger, Kezman, yeah? Doesn't sound like an unreasonable price for him.

Doesn't seem like it should be a suspension to me.

Yes, daed, that is Kaz. He was great when in great form, but for D.IV, he just isn't good enough and his form had steadily decreased from excellent to inadequate. Knew he had to go before (if) dropping form again. (of course, it turns out half my team is not good enough for D.IV, since I keep losing every week even putting up NSI better than I ever did in D.V.

Soccer Anonymous has bought dozens of players in the last month or whatever and sold every one of them right back. Looks like he just quit or pissed off or trying to screw whomever he can.

Yeah, Kez is great. I saw his ratings when you sold him, he looks like a pretty solid player now. Hopefully you've now gotten enough informations (with my super-dola posts) to mail the GMs and get your team settled again. Good luck! :)

I actually e-mailed them by reply from the one they sent me on Sunday night since I don't know how long it takes to deal with this and I have my FOFC game against ausonny (don't want to lose training so need to change players).

I assume that works and I don't need to go through hattrick mail somehow. I hope, anyway, or I will be waiting forever since they won't know I replied already.

I appreciate your help.

I think the email address you are supposed to contact is [email protected]

not sure if that is the one you replied to or not.
