Now that Game 119 is halfway through it's first season, what are people's thoughts on how the 'can't transfer player for 10 weeks after giving a player potential' rule, has gone?

Should it have been longer or shorter?

Although they are some way off, would you like to see it used in the next normal game or Hard Format game?

I think it worked well.

Personally I would do 5 weeks max as 10 weeks is a long wait

I think its spot on. I put potential on a few players from Nork and it gave me a good amount of time to play them, train them and see how they perform before deciding if to keep or swap. Fumbs up here :) Any longer would mean we could be stuck with players unable to deal.

I'm not that keen on it, would definitely not want it in HFG.

I'd rather the potential is reflected in the price of a player to make deals easier/more transparent to agree. If you add it to a player season 1 could be high (say +£30m) and if added each subsequent season it gets lower.

Might stop the 2 pot player demands that seem to be the issue and reason for this in the first place?

Been saying this all along, POT should increase a players value. After all, it has far more worth than any SA in my opinion.

10 weeks is abit too long, I would agree with 5 turns.

smaller clubs need pot players especially in a HFG to get names from bigger teams any delay would mean smaller clubs would struggle to do much till half way through the season by then any promotion push might well be beyond reach

Think 10 weeks is about right!

The big clubs would still need to sell to get out of debt most just ask for pot and cash and a lot jump at it to get the named player least now they will have to settle for non pot and cash or just cash.

Agree 10 weeks is perfect - Gives managers time to see if they are worth keeping or should move on!

Definitely for hard format games - will give the big teams more of a headache!

I think it's about right.

In a HFG game though it may have to be slightly shorter as big teams who start in heavy debt need these players to reduce debt quickly. Unless the rules on clearing debt would be relaxed slightly??

10 weeks spot on for me. Anything that encourages longevity of a game and encourages player development over constant wheeling and dealing

10 weeks was fine I think.

Post subject:  Re: Thoughts on Potential Delay

Personally I think 5 weeks would be better, it still would stop big clubs requesting pot on players as I can't imagine anyone would wait that long for a deal.

I too personally wouldn't want it in hfg, or if it was then 5 weeks max.

In my opinion it should be reduced to 5 weeks.

I started off adding pot to a few of my players in my teams and I regret doing this to so many players as you really miss out on transfer activity.

After 5 weeks you can see how the player is progressing and you can evaluate your team. Smaller teams need to deal pot players.

On some of the newer teams I've taken I have swayed to SA instead of POT

I think 10 weeks is best suited. I personally dont want to transfer my players that have pot, but if i have to then i can agree a deal in principle.
