As other people have said, as long as you spend no money, do all the sell on fees and player exchanging you like. Big achievement to finish above relegation, second season is going be a challenge, with the dread second season syndrome.
13:34 Missed opportunity to put NepentheZ SIXTEENTH meme in there. Exchange is valid unless you use a player who is there originally at the start of the save imo. As long as no money changed hands for the player you exchanged and the player you exchanged him for, you're good.
I think I can safely speak for all Argyle fans when I say that if we get to 15th in the Premier League by 2028, I'll be incredibly happy. Realistically, the only way this happens in 'real life' is with the help of hallucinogenic drugs. Great work Clayts, really enjoying this save :)
I don't much care but it's a slippery slope, Clayts. I'm guessing you're going to be using similar justifications going forward because....reasons. Why didn't you just copy FM Llama's 'Beg Borrow Steal' concept if you weren't going to stick to completely free transfers? Percentage of future sales invalidates 'free' because in that case, you're just kicking the proverbial can down the road. That's Barcelona Finance IMO. You're not paying upfront for the player but you're paying when/if you sell him. Player exchange is just crazy. Jordan had value. Just because it wasn't cash being exchanged doesn't mean it was 'free'. If you give up something you don't want for something you do want, that's not free. It's bartering. I think part of what makes these kinds of challenges compelling is the added difficulty of the rule(s). But that's only if you abide by both the _letter_ and *_spirit_* of the rule(s).
The Joao Pedro Deal is ok as no Money changed hands. I'm doing a similar save at Ipswich Town and some of these tricks will be useful.

Joao Pedro transfer with P/Ex is definitely valid
❤️
Been looking forward to this since the last episode. Clayts when you back on the streamer showdown
Soon 💪💪💪
Been looking forward to this, Im a plymouth argyle fan and seeing this makes me hope it happens irl at some point in my life

I’m actually livid that I missed that.

I am really enjoying this series!
New to this series but I’m I wrong but didn’t place get promoted and not Brentford?
I'm Life Long Plymouth Argyle fanb . Loving your videos COYG
Can you pot your tactic for Download?
Definitely okay with the Joao Pedro deal - didn't pay anything for Houghton and no money changed hands for Pedro, so fair game I say!
I'm super intrigued as to what the finances look like at this stage, the first bit of Prem money's come in obviously not a penny's been spent
I’ll show it properly next vid - no transfer fees out but a fair whack on wages
So I was 2000•1 but currently 1000-1 as Chester. Currently 18th with 10 games to go. I’m scared to play on 😄
I don't know .. but I expect a very strong first season.. 9th would be a huge success
Odds 900-1 .. i guess I was way to optimistic but let's keep watching
i was thinking 12th until i saw some of the signings and thought 9th
Here we go again then, I’m saying 17th place finish 🤞
Not too far wrong. all the best Hardie
He was really great for us, but time to go!
At the 2 minute mark, the answer is "rock-bottom". Anything else is an achievement.
Hurts to see Hardie out of the starting 11
I know 😢
17th finish I reckon
can you please try and get ayr United in the champions league 🤣🤣 think every Ayr fan has done it but it would be good to see how you would go about it
because of your "free transfer" policy, can you improve the quality of PLYMOUTH itself ?? such as training ground, Stadium, Staff/Scout, etc.
Yep - I have been doing this stuff, I’ll make sure I show it next episode :)
Whens the next video!!!
Um it’s out? 😂
I think you'll probably need the P/Ex deals to be allowed to make significant progress here, so I'm all for it. Bend the rules, don't break them
Il back ya not to drop!
There will be no relegation today!
My prediction is 12th

Are you sure you don’t care?
@@Clayts Yeah, I just went into painful detail about why it's a slippery slope. It's still entertaining and THAT'S what I care about 😊
