Loaning Legends in FIFA 23: A Guide for the Financially Challenged Manager (and Everyone Else)
Ah, FIFA 23. The beautiful game, where dreams are bought (or at least rented) and transfer windows are more like revolving doors. But let's face it, not everyone has the budget of a sugar daddy oil baron. That's where the humble loan system comes in, your trusty steed to championship glory (or at least avoiding relegation).

| How To Loan Players In Fifa 23 |
Step 1: Scouting the Loan Market - It's Not All About the Diamonds
Forget searching for hidden gems in the youth academy. The loan market is brimming with world-beaters (well, maybe not world-beaters, but decent options) just waiting to be snatched up by your financially astute (or dare I say, cheap) self.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to get creative. Look for players whose parent clubs are stacked in their position, or youngsters yearning for playing time. You might just unearth the next Messi (on a budget).
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Step 2: Negotiation 101 - It's All About the Art of the Deal
So, you've found your loanee Messi (or, you know, a halfway decent left-back). Now comes the fun part: negotiations. Remember, you're the underdog here. Charm, wit, and maybe a sprinkle of desperation are your best weapons.
Here are some golden negotiation tactics:
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
- Appeal to the player's ego: "You'll be the star of the show here!" (Even if your team is currently languishing in 18th place).
- Promise them playing time: "We'll build the entire team around you!" (Even if you have absolutely no intention of doing so).
- Offer them a participation trophy: "We might not win the league, but you'll definitely get a nice commemorative mug!" (This might be pushing it).
Remember: The key is confidence (even if it's feigned).

Step ★★★ Step 3: Loan with Option to Buy? Proceed with Caution
This one's a tricky beast. A loan with an option to buy can be a great way to try before you commit, but be warned: it can also turn into a financial black hole.
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
Think carefully before you commit:
- Can you realistically afford the player after the loan? Don't get swept up in the moment and end up with a Gareth Bale situation (unless you actually have Gareth Bale money, in which case, why are you reading this?).
- Is the player truly worth the price? Don't be blinded by their loan spell brilliance. Remember, they might have been surrounded by world-class teammates at their parent club.
Ultimately, the decision is yours. Just weigh the risks and rewards carefully before you take the plunge.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Loaning Like a Pro: Bonus Tips
- Don't be afraid to use the "delegate the offer" option. The AI might surprise you with a better deal than you could negotiate yourself. (Although, don't expect miracles).
- Keep an eye on loanee contracts. They have a nasty habit of expiring right when you need them most.
- Use loaned players strategically. They're a great way to plug gaps in your squad or add depth for cup competitions.
So, there you have it! Your crash course on loaning players in FIFA 23. Remember, a little bit of planning, a sprinkle of negotiation magic, and a whole lot of hope can turn you from a relegation battler into a championship contender (well, maybe not a contender, but at least a team that doesn't get relegated). Now go forth and loan like a pro!
