Trainers and scouts monopoly!

So it seems as though the whole staff search page has been made redundant, by one club who has found a way to secure all the best scouts and trainers.

I recently spent some hours going through 000's of trainers looking for a 20 - 20 trainer. I have done this in the past with success a number of times. However now one club will hire them as soon as they are available and apparently release them later and publicise it on his Forum. This forum is in Danish! and not easy to find unless you have access to the danish forums.

The whole element of work hard for reward has been replaced with luck. If you know about his forum and happen to be online when he publishes a trainer then you can get a 20 - 20 for no work. Otherwise no ammount of hard work will get you the reward of a 20 - 20 trainer. I didn't even find a 19 - 20 in my search of some hours.

This is very bad for the game. I see some clubs with lots of the best trainers, and others who don't know, having no chance of ever getting one.

Surely this can't continue?

to be fair he limits the amount to a 5 max 20-20 trainers with a few older wildcards thrown in the mix which are left open . another tip just book mark players on the free transfer list usually the worse likely retire soon players make the grade as scouts or trainers go five from each country aged 32 then 33 etc upwards for a decent spread found a few this way . then check daily to see if any have retired rinse and repeat

Sounds like market manipulation.

So it's now fine to have two teams and use the second team to purchase all the trainers?

I don't understand the two teams slur and how is it market manipulation.

I don't even know the team in question, so it isn't a slur.

It doesn't sound healthy for the game. If that's better for you?

For example if I setup a team to compete in the lower leagues and to purchase all the good scouts so my opponents can't find any/very few

I'm just saying it doesn't sound healthy. I was hoping someone like you could explain to me as the pros and cons to allowing this.

You even admit you don`t know what you`re talking about. The manager in question doesn`t even keep the trainers he finds. He`s doing us a favor by finding them for us, then posting them for ANYONE to take. One just has to be online at the right time to score one of these trainers. Simply subscribe to his post and you`ll have as much chance as anyone else of landing one. We should be thanking him for doing the work, not falsely accusing him of cheating for his advantage.

Sounds like.

Isn't the same as: "This is most definitely market manipulation"

sound like (something)
1. To give the impression of something being the case based on what one hears or is told.
It sounds like you're really unhappy in your job, at least from everything you've told me so far.
The team gave me an update on their progress, and it sounded like everything was going smoothly.
2. To give the impression of being a certain way based on what one hears or is told.
Wow, that sounds like a fabulous vacation!
It certainly sounded like a difficult situation that they had found themselves in.
