What about loaning our players only in foreign countries? This way a cheater couldn't loan his player to his other team...

The "Looking to buy a new player?" thingy in the club management overview is neat, but would be even nicer if you could roughly specify what you're looking for. It would be a nice helper if you're currently looking for "that missing piece" on your team and would save you the trouble of searching the market every 3rd day. Let's say you could tab any given search you do in the transfer list as your "default search", and this feature could utilize the default setting when suggesting a player?

Of course, if no match is found, it could pick a player like it does today... Sound any good?


Just to get this back on topic (this isn't about loans), I think this is theoretically an excellent idea.

It might be expensive to have to run a separate query for each user's preference, though... but only the BBs know.

Maybe have a small matrix of combinations you could choose? guard/swing/big, offensive/balanced/defensive, young/medium/old, cheap/medium/elite.

Yes, something a bit more custom made would make this a terrific feature. Although I don't know what the current algorithm does, it seems pretty simple - proposing players that's just within reach of my current cash reserve, rather than based on weaknesses of my team... A tune-up, not too search intensive, could e.g. be like you suggest - some rough categories - pre-indexed and cached for easy display.
