Man made like 30 transfers in one season and wanna call out my chises for lack of realism
Oh?
Six of them are incoming first team transfers, which include a 18-year-old fourth choice striker, a 17-year-old fifth choice fullback and a 35 year old third choice goalkeeper.
Five of the outgoings are first team transfers, which include a second choice goalkeeper, a fourth choice striker, a fifth choice fullback and a ninth choice midfielder.
Four players moved in or out that impact the first 11. Costa, Fermin, Inacio and Owusu-Oduro.
The rest of the transfers are 8 loans for youth players, And 10 sales of youth players who were 20 because FIFA rules say you can't loan out that many 21 year old players:

But let's see how it stacks up to real life.

Hmmm. Interesting data. Let's look at some non-English clubs.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-barcel ... on_id/2024 34 transfers, which includes 19 outgoings (doesn't include Barcelona B movement)
https://www.transfermarkt.com/real-madr ... on_id/2024 18 transfers, which includes 9 outgoings (worth noting that this lists no youth movement because it's on RM Castilla's page)
https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-paris- ... on_id/2024 45 transfers, which includes 21 outgoings
https://www.transfermarkt.com/olympique ... on_id/2024 51 transfers, which includes 27 outgoings

https://www.transfermarkt.com/ac-mailan ... on_id/2024 57 transfers, which includes 29 outgoings
Noticing a pattern. Let's drop down a bit and take a look see.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/rc-lens/t ... on_id/2024 49 transfers, which includes 25 outgoings
I don't know, man. Looks like my transfer business of 29 moves is pretty average compared to real life and, in fact, is on the lower end... especially when you consider that the bulk of those transfers were players leaving my club either permanently or temporarily which is, again, in line with real transfers.
We can have the realism convo if you want though.
