There's your South-American. Good buy for Rangers, I'm looking in a similar pool of quality players, this one was in fact on my shortlist as well, it's just that my limits on salary would make it impossible to sign such a player. He earns 38k and I won't go over 25k at the moment.
Maybe a Champions League campaign and a national league title would increase my financial possibilities again, but for now, as Holland's number #2 - Conference League winner - not sure of Champions League yet - I need to stay in that storyline. Or, I could get one or two of these players, miss out on Champions League and sink the club in another crisis, that's possible too...

So, victim of the loan recall bug. At least, I think it is a buig, I've raised it several times, but there's never any movement from EA.
It's so disappointing, really.

I think my top earners make about £50k or so, so I suppose my limit is a bit higher than yours. But I try to stay within that limit too. When I go beyond it at some point, it has to be a star player doing so, not just someone coming from a big club, entering a smaller role in my team. Can't have that scenario.

It's so disappointing, really.Yes, there it was. 20 games out of 26, in Brandon Williams' case. Not enough, apparently. I knew it could happen though, so I don't let myself be too frustrated about it. I guess it's just a part of playing with loan players these days. I used to never explore the loan option, always think that it would be a better investment to buy the player, grow him, sell him more expensively, always targeting young talents. But I've really grown fond of now targeting a mix of youngsters, more experienced players and - also - players on loan.
But I agree with you. EA would do well to change this threshold. It's quite ridiculous.
Setford one day could become a great goalkeeper. Captain of Ajax II and last three league games (2nd tier) only a single goal against, which is a huge improvement to the first twelve playing rounds.
Hagi was always one of the first players that I'd scout, but this game he came out significantly weaker in my scouting reports. McAtee was mentioned at Ajax this summer, we thought, but in the end Ajax' attention was focused on Carlos Forbs Borges of Man City u21 (unfortunately).
And those results... it could well mean you're three or four points down on Celtic, which in your two horse race could mean a great deal. Four points is like an Old Firm for Free.

Hagi, yes, he's a completely different player now, than he used to be when I signed him in previous editions of FIFA. I remember him having this 85 stamina rating, and he wasn't slow, with his pace around the 75 or so. Now his pace is down around 60, perhaps as a result of his horrendous injury from January 2022 that kept him out for a long time and even saw him removed from the game. So that may also be the reason why things didn't 'click' for him in this save, the same way it used to, when I had him in a few of my previous saves, where he always seems to overperform.
Thanks for the info on Setford, he's not one I was familiar with before, but I tend to target ball-playing keepers these days, and I was almost shocked to see his "kick" skills compared to the rest of his abilities at this point. So I decided to take a chance on him, and with him "showing great potential", he could grow to become a great addition, if I keep him in the lineup.
I agree that four points would be a big gap now, but luckily that is not the case. I know I had three consecutive draws there, but one was against Celtic, so they couldn't really gain on me there. And the other was a cup game. So they gained two points on me, so we're still pretty close.
