(1) IF there is a working formular, would the proposed system be desireable?
and
(2) Is it somehow possible to find such a formula?

I guess you already pretty much answered this way in your post, but I think it is worth repeating.

(1) Perhaps so... From the "reality" point of view (and most of us probably consider that to some degree about most everything in this game), it would seem weird and wrong. From the game-design point of view, it might work all right. The buying decision is about improving your team. The selling price is currently somewhat up to luck. Both are affected by the market, but not always to same extent (we all know the complaints about time of auction deadlines etc.)

(2) Considering that implementing the formula would remove much of incentive for overpaying (current TPE considers also overpriced transfers), once the change is in place the market data would certainly be better than what we have today for TPE.

Your suggestion seems quite efficient to me as it will make huge changes. Still, it requires a solid analysis of the data to make coherence with other existing criteria of the players.

I'll be short. The following figures about any player are already available and bring no interpretation :
- last trading date
- last trading price.

With an easy calculation, you can come out with how long the player was on a roster. You link that to a profit tax.
1 - 2 weeks : 100% profit tax (no profit made on the trade)
3 - 5 weeks : 75% profit tax (25% maximum profit made by seller)
6 - 9 weeks : 50% profit tax (50% max profit )
10 - 14 weeks : 25% profit tax (75% max profit made)
> 1 season : No profit tax.

Of course, current trade fees disappear.
Nothing else changes from current Trade scheme (bidding, setting sales price and how long the player is on TL).
You can imagine the player going to FA if no one bids. Could be complementary.

Seems quite simplier... And guess what, that's what Wolph was all about.

PS.: i divided 1 season time into 4 growing parts (2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks long) and accord them +25% of profit tax. Too simple to be fair enough, consider it as a sketch that can/must be sharpenned, but you got the main idea of it.

All this talk...

means nothing without a BB backing it.

Because Wolph is often repeating the same thing again and again ?

And seelenjeager was talking about the big thread about day-trader were most of the discussion is going right now and which Wolph decide his idea wasn't at all linked and thus worth a new thread instead of putting it on the right thread. As he, himself, used the other thread to talk about things not on topic, this is, in a way, logical he thinks the other thread isn't anymore about transfer market and day-trading, so let's just open another one.

Come on....This is the BBs fault...They woke up the monster with the Achievement crap. You can't see that he is just trying to get the points...

If you want proof of the silliness.....go look at his transfer history....he recently wasted like 20K buying 8 players with the 1st name Jose.....Yeah..Scary isn't it!!!
