Yeah itd be great to get feedback from why they didnt choose your team. I just feel like i'm banging my head against the wall writing about how good their pleyer is, and kissing some serious ass only for them to just piss off to some random BBB team in the states

AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!

YES! Great points, Chris! There was one day that I send 22 separate PMs, and had ZERO responses. Some days, everyone would reply to me. It was bizarre.

Having a solid team had to help, though. On the whole, I think we did very well on the FA market, and have more consistency and depth than last year.

I emptied my outbox 3 days ago and it is more than half full again, I think I have like 4 responses. And yeah, most people seem to want to play in the US, which I honestly don't understand.

Lol, so he wants a gutted team?

I signed six players to teams last season, and it was a mess. I only posted notices for two of them, and my inbox rotated daily. I tried to reply to everyone, but I got five new PMs for every reply I sent.

This season, I'm stealth signing all of my players. Much less stressful this way .

I also love the people that reject you WITHOUT reading your PM. Even when you send an offer that says: "see the accompanying PM for more details". That's more frustrating than them ever replying, to me, anyway.

That I can agree with. If you put your player on the marketplace or in the PLFT forum, you should at least have the decency to read all PMs.

Yeah, man, it seemed that way. I guess he thinks football is all about the stats.

And yeah, I hate when I get rejected without being read. I'd really like to think I was given a shot at least.

I think the marketplace has added to the difficulty of signing free agents. Have you seen some of the bonus money and salaries these guys are looking for? ...and don't get me started on CB's that want to be returners

What I have a problem with is guys who think they can be a starting CB and starting KR/PR. Doesn't work that way. You've got to be completely specialized as a CB to be an effective KR.

I find it funny when level 10 and lower players ask for 80k contracts, especially when they don't boost or buy CE. Same goes for "really fast!" players who have <30 speed. I'm going to be glad once Bort finally starts taking teams away from people who go into negative cash.

I gotta be honest, I still find it funny that people that are lvl like 5 want teams to guarantee them starting jobs. Now, i understand the aspect they want playing time, but the fact of the matter is, if someone better comes along and gives you the opportunity to acquire them, should you not tryto get them? Now don't get me wrong I'm also a beleiver in commitment, so if i make a commitment to someone, I feel like I need to keep it. If I can't keep it, I shouldn't have made the commitment. But when ppl that are barely out of the gates start demanding 2500/day and starting jobs.. c'mon now.. get over yourself please.
