Football Manager 2016 Wishlist: 10 New Features It Should Have

10. More Realistic Transfer Fees

Football Manager announced that there are going to be big changes and improvements to transfer, contract, player & contract screens on the 2016 edition and it's about time. Yes, in the real world, Manchester City have just paid around £55 million for Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne but in comparison to some of the prices that Football Manager 2015 (and previous versions) threw around the deal seems relatively cheap. Unless you have a chairman who pumps £200 million into the transfer kitty every summer (Like Man City) then it's almost impossible to sign any top players that aren't on the transfer list without shelling out £100 million in instalments and putting the club in danger of a financial meltdown the following summer. More annoyingly, it's extremely tricky to accumulate a big fee when you're selling one of your own star players as you're asking for a three figure salary (like the one you just paid out for someone nowhere near as talented). As you develop your save and start playing past 2020 it becomes a little tedious having to pay over £50 million for every single regeneration player who normally aren't proven and are sold the following year for around £8-10 million.
