If you PM a manager enquiring whether a player has caps on speed and strength and they tell you the player has no caps, and when you purchase the player both speed and strength are capped, is there any comeback or is this simply a case of "let the buyer beware"?

Seems a bit of a raw deal, as I have always responded to all queries about the players I am selling honestly.

Sadly, the admins have previously stated before that they will do nothing about a manager miss-leading or outright lying when selling players, even in the ads section. So, treat everything as buyer beware.

Personally, I keep a personal list of managers I find to have lied or mislead about players and I refuse to buy from those owners unless it's a humongous steal for me.

Admins have even said we aren't allowed to keep a public list of such managers.

What these managers dont understand is that word will spread about their deceit and it will bite them in the arse, just take a while

One team from Romania found that out

Since speed and strength caps are not reflected in scout reports (*should be, but isn't), it's required that buyers be prudent. First, you can look at the advertisement section and see if any caps are listed. Just know that the manager may not list caps, lie about caps or accidentally type caps wrong. Second, you can ask the manager and hope they give you an honest answer. My experience is most managers will either let you know or just not respond at all. Some may lie and as already stated, just don't buy from them again. Also, just be prudent. That is to say, use good judgement. If stamina is over 10, I generally will assume the player has at least one cap, possibly both for speed and strength. If stamina is 7 or less, then I will generally take my chances and bid. Also, I usually bid on players that already have speed and strength close or at where I want them to be for the position I'd like them to play if I get them. One last thought is that if the player has the same flag as the player selling them, you can assume if they have only been there 0-1 week and they are 16-18 years old, they likely have no caps

this is my take
i dont see you whining when you bag a steal ( that 4.5-5 * uncapped player for 50000)....or tryng tio find a way to pay the previous owner a fair price - so yeah you got a crate of broken eggs - deal with it.
