Update 0.6.4: Unsolicited Transfer Offers — Clubs Come to You

Other clubs now approach you out of the blue with uninvited bids for your best players, priced 25–100% above market value. Review every offer and accept or reject each one — no listing required.

Managing a rising squad means fending off interest as much as chasing it. Version 0.6.4 introduces unsolicited transfer offers: every week, AI clubs from across all five divisions scan your roster and approach your standout players with uninvited bids — even when those players are not on the transfer list.

The system weights interest toward quality. Your highest-rated players attract the most attention, so a strong squad draws more approaches than a struggling one. The simulation ranks your squad by overall rating each week and, with a realistic element of chance, selects a handful of players to receive offers — better squads can see up to three approaches in a single week, while weaker sides may see none at all. Injured players and anyone already listed for transfer are skipped, so you are never double-teamed with both a listing bid and an unsolicited offer on the same man.

Each offer is deliberately generous: priced at 25–100% above the player's market value, then scaled by the buying club's division tier. A top-flight suitor will push the premium harder than a fellow amateur side, so a bid from Division 1 for your star striker carries a far richer fee than the same interest from a Division 5 neighbour. The premium over market value is shown right on the offer card, so you can see exactly how much extra the buyer is willing to pay.

Handling offers is straightforward. A new Incoming Offers panel appears on the Transfers sell tab whenever live bids are waiting, and the Home dashboard shows a banner so nothing slips past you. Each offer lists the player, his position, age, overall and market value, the bidding club and its division, the bid amount, and the percentage premium over value. Accept the fee and the player leaves for the buying club with the money banked; reject and the offer disappears. The usual minimum squad size of eleven protects you from selling yourself short, and accepting an offer automatically clears any other pending bids for that player and any transfer-list entry he had.

The offers expire weekly — only the current week's unsolicited bids stay live, so the panel never accumulates stale interest across the season. Between this, the Transfer List, Quick Sell, and multi-round negotiations, the sell side of the market now covers every style of management, from hands-on haggling to simply letting the offers roll in and picking the ones worth taking.
