How to sell players or loan them out- teams not offering

[ManiacMatt1782]

Also if you are in the winter window, and you want to loan someone out, do a short loan. if you are in the summer window, do a season loan.

You can always reject an offer or pull someone back if you change your mind. But if you decide you want to list someone on July 2nd, the odds of getting an offer seem to decrease dramatically. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but that is the way it works. If I list them before transfer season even the guys in the 40s get sold, but often they get sold on Deadline Day. List the same guy two days into transfer season and he doesn't get sold.

I don´t know if EA wanted it that way, but it makes some sense. Imagine that other teams are looking for someone to buy or loan in the next transfer window. In real life they don´t do it just in those days. they start to study the available players some time before, so they can make decisions when the day comes. If we list those players earlier, they will get more chances to be scouted by other teams. It also probably depends on the league you´re playing. Yesterday I listed 3 players on january transfer window and they all got out, and they were quite poor in stats and never played for me.

Seriously, does this actually work? Like I said before, I've been trying the quit save / reload method. It's 50/50 never really works that great but I thought it was the only option available.

I'll give this a go in the Jan transfer window, if it works then you'll be a legend!

Remember in the January window for loans, list for short, not season. Only list for Season on the summer window. Also, listing someone for sale transfer will reduce their value. If you have a pretty valuable player, just let an offer happen. You might not get a fair value for them if you list them. But if you are desperate to trim some fat and are willing to take the 1st offer that comes your way, list away.

I can't guarantee anything. But players I list on June 30th always seem to get an offer during the transfer period, even though sometimes that offer doesn't come until Deadline Day two months later. If I wait until July 1st, I might sell/loan them, I might not. I have been much more successful since I started listing them before transfer season.

The biggest downside is that sometimes I can't be sure who I'll be able to sign, especially since I always start careers with low budget teams. A couple of times I've gotten stuck after selling a decent player at a particular position but missing out on signing the player or players I had targeted.
