How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Farfan for me Rabbit, I know he's older and will likely decline but he's more realistic imo and still has decent stats. Plus it'll allow you to improve the team even more with other signings. Ambrose has you covered for goals so you don't desperately need Martial either. Now I'm wondering how much you got for Thuram!!

I reached out to a few different players but the only ones to accept (so far) are these two: Spoiler Farfan comes at a cheaper price at just €50K wages. He won't sniff the CAM role but he'd be a perfect fit at RM in the diamond midfield and would be serviceable there for the 3 years of the contract assuming he stays in good form and doesn't suffer too much regression. He'd be a sizable upgrade on Jack Giles who's at 71 OVR right now and doesn't have top potential (Ben Potter shows great potential but even he is a couple of season away from being at Farfan's level). Martial of course needs very little explanation. As you'd imagine he's in high demand so I offered to match the €100K he's being paid at Man U. right now plus 10% bonus per goal and he's on board with that but I probably need to respond ASAP since other clubs are sniffing around (he JUST turned down an offer from Swansea City). Of course the idea of a Martial-Ambrose pairing up front is DREAMY but going through with this signing all but empties the transfer/wage budget so that's a bit risky. I don't have €150K in wages so I can only sign one guy. Of course if I choose Farfan I may be able to get 1 or even 2 more Bosman signings. WHAT DO I DO??? Feedback on this is appreciated ASAP because I may get to leave the office early today in which case it'll be pretty difficult not to get in front of the xbox ....

I'll go with Keano on this one. Martial is playing for a top Premier League club while you are in the second division so it wouldn't make much sense for him to join Newport. Farfan is old which slightly worries me, but I think that he'd be a brilliant player to have for a couple of seasons. Also, as Keano pointed out, scoring hasn't been an issue for you so Martial wouldn't be vital for the team. So yeah, it's Farfan for me.

I appreciate the feedback fellas, more opinions are welcomed as well.

Keano, for now just know it was for at least double his value. It wasn't easy for me to pull the trigger on that one.

bumped since we're on a new page, this is the topic of discussion at the moment

just for giggles, how do we feel about a Bosman signing for a cost similar to what Martial's would be for say ... an Italian goalkeeper? (you know, since the coach is Italian and all)

Was planning on getting Bremen and Accrington going over the past few days but that was put on hold due to an operation I had to fix a complicated dislocated finger. Can't hold the remote properly so that's a slight problem haha. We'll see how things go in the next week and if there's any progress.
