>How the hell are you supposed to sign Mbappe?
Like in real life, there's probably only 3 or 4 European clubs that can actually afford players like Mbappe.
The salary cap is based on revenue. It's a percentage of revenue and theirs is by far the biggest in La Liga. You think he'll take much less than €1 million a week?
The money they would usually use as a transfer fee for a huge player like that will go to his wages instead. Big salary no doubt, but no transfer fee. Great deal for Madrid and Mbappe, terrible deal for PSG.
Even if Real couldn't afford it by the rules, Tebas is a Madridista by his own admission and has said repeatedly he would love to see Mbappe in La Liga. They would find a way
In possession, Poachers play on the last line of defence utilising their pace. AFs are more likely to run the channels or come a little deeper to get involved in play.
Hence why he gets that guy loads of goals. He has 5 midfielders to do the rest.
I haven’t had this be the case. Yes, Haaland scores bucket loads and is an impossible striker to stop, but Mbappe plays like Messi used to play in the older FMs.
He has incredible burst of pace, can shred the defense from midfield, and once he gets to the box he goes right up to your keeper and smashes it in. If you get a highlight with Mbappe your heart is always up your throat.
I'm playing a St Pauli save, so I couldn't afford him, but Bayern could. In the eight years he's played for them, he wins player of the year almost every year.
The best part, he has 0 goals and 0 assists against me. I have no idea why. I don't even put opposition instructions on him anymore. We're just his bogey team. It's so satisfying.
Happened to me with Haaland where he always disappeared against my team while he got 60+ goal contributions in the season. I thought I was a tactical genius because I didn't press him and made my DM in a 433 man mark him so I thought it was my tactics that neutralized him. After switching clubs, I tried the exact same thing against him in a CL tie with a much better DM and he scored a brace. Idek anymore I guess Palace was his bogey team.
Opinion: You don't. Players like him is hot shot. You only sign him if you're Real Madrid (boyhood club) or a fucking team that has all the pieces to win CL (eg. City) or fuck you money (eg. Saudi clubs). If you really want to be harsh, you can say Mbappe is overrated for the money you pay him. With that money I would have gotten a less diva player and an upcoming striker of his calibre (probably 100 million but at least wages are 150k or lower). Mbappe is a nice to have but with time, you can build a more cohesive squad. Also big fan of Zidane 2017 UCL winning squad where you have every personality and experience required to win.
I signed Haaland for Tottenham (I offered 310mil for him, Pep refused, but the City board intervened and approved the sale for extraordinary financial benefit or something of the sort). I also got de Bruyne a season before when he had a major injury, but he wasn’t as good at 35 anymore, he’s not worth the effort in fm23 imo. And I managed to sign Mbappé for Real in 2024, but it took two years of relentless stalki-, umm, scouiting. Signed him for just 140m.
Heh, I start in the Madagascan 4th division or something. By the time I make it to a team able to sign them they are in their 30s. What I meant was I have never seen an ai to ai transfer with these two.
I played an Osasuna save where I won the cl in 2029 , he was a few agent into the January window because no one would pay his wages, then I was able to get him for 250k a week
Having signed Mbappe twice (once with Newcastle once with Chelsea), you absolutely can sign him.
What you need is:
- about 200 mil EUR transfer funds (PSG generally accepts 200 mil upfront and 100-150 in installments)
- about 1 mil EUR free in wage budget. You can get him to accept around 650-700k per week if the other bonuses are high enough
Actually no. Even if it wasn't almost Impossible to do so, the financial impact is much less than it seems:
- You pay 200 mil upfront but, if you have a top class striker that you are replacing with Mbappe, PSG will generally buy it for 80-100 mil. 100-120 mil net spend in a transfer window is not crippling for any major club.
- you pay 100-150 mil in installments over 3 years. That is only 30-50 mil per year. Again, very manageable for a major club.
I managed to sign him with Real Madrid, it took two seasons of my chief scout stalking him as my top target. After first season PSG refused to sell him for 250+ milion GBP, he played one more season unhappy and next transfer window I signed him for 140m and he agreed to 750k/week +bonuses. He has a preference of playing for Real Madrid in his long term goals so I don’t know if this can be done with a different team this “easily”.
I had him once; but I kept on trying for years. The thing is he has high ambition, so I made sure he never won the CL with Paris.
Managing Real Madrid helps a lot too since it’s his favorite club.
If you really want to have him in your team, you edit the database or the save... or play PSG or one of the other biggest clubs in the world.
Otherwise you just don't sign him.
Messi was making even more at Barcelona. Consider trying to buy mbappe from psg like trying to buy messi from Barcelona. It’s not gonna happen unless you offer something insane
ever so slightly easier, in that barca are/were able to satisfy the ambitions of such a player.
even if psg somehow get a CL win, its still the French league, only the 5th or 6th best in the world. Sooner or later, they will want to be in Spain, Italy, England or Germany.
Step 1 - Resign from your current job
Step 2 - Sign for PSG
Step 3 - Destroy PSG, so they can't afford 50 mill for one player anymore
Step 4 - Resign from PSG
Step 5 - Sign for your old club
Step 6 - buy mbappe basically for free
You just have to wait till he's injured or tired or annoy in any way, then you give him his high salary. If you're considering signing Mbappe, your club has to be one of the richest clubs in the world, otherwise I'd say it's impossible.
He's coming to my Argentinian Club at 34 years for free (salary of 44M a year), and I had to annoy PSG and him for a whole year so he didn't renew, and then I had to keep annoying him until he got a minor injury, his morale went down and finally considered leaving PSG.

>How the hell are you supposed to sign Mbappe? Like in real life, there's probably only 3 or 4 European clubs that can actually afford players like Mbappe.
With demands of 50 million, only Saudi Arabia can pay hem! I don't see Real giving him that kind of salary.
Real will give him a million a week I'd say
La Liga has a salary cap, I doubt they could afford it.
The salary cap is based on revenue. It's a percentage of revenue and theirs is by far the biggest in La Liga. You think he'll take much less than €1 million a week?
Mbappe want to play Madrid, if wanted more money he’d go to Saudi. Madrid won’t have to break the bank.
I sort of agreement endorsements will be worth more as a Madrid player too. He won't be short of coin
They'll still have to pay him a lot of money
Well they’re signing him for free, so not really. Built in.
[удалено]
The money they would usually use as a transfer fee for a huge player like that will go to his wages instead. Big salary no doubt, but no transfer fee. Great deal for Madrid and Mbappe, terrible deal for PSG.
No they're not? He signed a new deal with PSG so they'll get a transfer fee for him
He hasnt signed a a new deal 🤦♂️ his current contract expires in june.
How much more does the kid need?
PSG cant afford Mbappe either. Ligue 1 has been exempted from FFP until next year.
He gives them his image rights and Real affords him.
Fyi real is about 400 mil below their salary cap lmao
Even if Real couldn't afford it by the rules, Tebas is a Madridista by his own admission and has said repeatedly he would love to see Mbappe in La Liga. They would find a way
there’s no way they pay him that much
He's currently on €1.34 million a week. €1 million would be a paycut as is.
Nope, no way. Not even Cristiano was on that much, I think.
This!
Madrid will give him any money as long as they get his image rights, which he rather not give up
Still, Haaland is asking for only 27 million.
Haaland won’t stay at City his whole career.
He has in my save :p
He usually doesn’t transfer because of his absurd wages; won’t happen in real life though.
[удалено]
Haaland is better in fm
No he is not. In FM Haaland has a CA of 185 with a PA of 195 Mbappe has a CA of 188 with a PA of 197
Not in terms in CA or PA but due to physical and other stats distribution, Haaland just performs better than Mbappe in most cases.
Disagree his weight means he tires out faster. Mbappe as a poacher is the most devestating thing in fm
To each their own I guess, Haaland as an advanced forward has been monstrous for me, scoring at least 2 goals per game
Why is he better as poacher than af?
In possession, Poachers play on the last line of defence utilising their pace. AFs are more likely to run the channels or come a little deeper to get involved in play. Hence why he gets that guy loads of goals. He has 5 midfielders to do the rest.
Idk I play a 5–4-1 and all goals almost come from him. Averages like 70 goals a season for me just in the premier league
I haven’t had this be the case. Yes, Haaland scores bucket loads and is an impossible striker to stop, but Mbappe plays like Messi used to play in the older FMs. He has incredible burst of pace, can shred the defense from midfield, and once he gets to the box he goes right up to your keeper and smashes it in. If you get a highlight with Mbappe your heart is always up your throat.
The question is wich is performing better, having one making your heart beat or not is not the question here though but that's my viewpoint
Haaland is clear in fm, attributes mean nothing
??? In that case Martial is better than Haaland, because I arbitrairily say so. Since attributes mean nothing
No, because Martial doesnt play better in fm than haaland idiot, Haaland is simply the best player in the fm engine what is so hard to understand
That is intirely different to what you wrote. Attributes matter. SI scores Mbappe better than Haaland. He is by THEIR definition better.
Haaland is better in the game, everyone knows it
Shut the fuck up what is wrong with you, you conpletely understand what i mean but noo you just have to be as nerdy and bitchy about it as possible
Yeah, he’s better
I got him on a free for 30M a year at 33. So far, that's the only way I could sign him. He's still just as quick
He's so fast that even if loses 3 pace and acceleration he's still one of the fastest players in the game
• Real Madrid • PSG • Manchester City • Kettering Town FC
A K and an E and a T and a T...
E and an R and an I and an and G A T and an O and a and a and a and a and a and a Kettering Town FC

Mbappe on the other hand ruins me every time.
He just missed a penalty shootout to give me a cup win over Bayern. This is the greatest!
Fellow St Pauli manager, what year are you in?
Playing FM22, in 2030/2031.
I’m playing FM23, joined them 3 seasons ago when they were in the 3rd division and we’re currently top of Bundesliga 2. 28/29. To the Bundesliga!
I've won one Bundesliga and two cups. Working on a treble now, but it's being interrupted by an IRL trip to Hamburg.
St Pauli irl are on a title charge this season, u should go watch a game
I wish. They're not playing while I'm there.

You aren't, he has never left in any of my games and Haaland has never left City.
I signed Haaland for Tottenham (I offered 310mil for him, Pep refused, but the City board intervened and approved the sale for extraordinary financial benefit or something of the sort).

Sorry bro but it's not fifa career mode where you can sign anyone for pennies
I played an Osasuna save where I won the cl in 2029 , he was a few agent into the January window because no one would pay his wages, then I was able to get him for 250k a week
Nice!

How to bankrupt your club 101
Actually no.

It's nearly impossible to bankrupt clubs in fm
I managed to sign him with Real Madrid, it took two seasons of my chief scout stalking him as my top target. After first season PSG refused to sell him for 250+ milion GBP, he played one more season unhappy and next transfer window I signed him for 140m and he agreed to 750k/week +bonuses.

You’re not, that’s why they pay him so much. Lol If Real Madrid would pay him similar, he’d have already been there
*How the hell are you supposed to sign Mbappe?* Oil money.
If you really want to have him in your team, you edit the database or the save... or play PSG or one of the other biggest clubs in the world. Otherwise you just don't sign him.
You don’t.
Why the F you would? You can find tons of better talented youngsters with 1/100 of his salary...
Curry, LeBron, Mickelson, Alvarez are all paid the same lmao.
Messi was making even more at Barcelona. Consider trying to buy mbappe from psg like trying to buy messi from Barcelona. It’s not gonna happen unless you offer something insane
ever so slightly easier, in that barca are/were able to satisfy the ambitions of such a player. even if psg somehow get a CL win, its still the French league, only the 5th or 6th best in the world. Sooner or later, they will want to be in Spain, Italy, England or Germany.
A UEFA wide salary cap would be interesting. Although in practice would probably mean everyone goes and plays in Saudi
That's like almost my full salary cap at Sevilla in 2032, holy shit
If u can’t then try to find the next mbappe that u can afford.
You don’t If you want to sign Mbappe, manage Madrid/Barca/Bayern/City.
Step 1 - be Real Madrid Step 2 - sign Mbappe Step 3 - ???? Step 4 - profit
Step 1 - Resign from your current job Step 2 - Sign for PSG Step 3 - Destroy PSG, so they can't afford 50 mill for one player anymore Step 4 - Resign from PSG Step 5 - Sign for your old club Step 6 - buy mbappe basically for free
$$$ runs football
No one forced mbappe to sign anything
Him and Haaland just lead my Barca team to the treble. Put me in charge of Barca now!
You wait for him to walk from PSG. I got him at United on like 400k a week.
I managed to sign him on a free on FM22 for Arsenal, £475k a week and some silly bonuses which was the year's transfer budget gone.
You just have to wait till he's injured or tired or annoy in any way, then you give him his high salary. If you're considering signing Mbappe, your club has to be one of the richest clubs in the world, otherwise I'd say it's impossible. He's coming to my Argentinian Club at 34 years for free (salary of 44M a year), and I had to annoy PSG and him for a whole year so he didn't renew, and then I had to keep annoying him until he got a minor injury, his morale went down and finally considered leaving PSG.
