Media Sunny Media Presents: The Art Of The Recruitment PM

[Supersuns]

​

Hello Sweet FA. We are currently in the throws of the off-season. The media is bleak, the threads are dry, the Bombers are still annoying, but behind the scenes the true work of the Sweet FA is happening. In PMs everywhere, club captains and LG members are feverishly trying to improve their lists with rookies, returning players and the sweetest prize of all. Players from opposition clubs.
As someone who was relevant for about 3 and half days 5 or 6 seasons ago, I've received up to and possibly beyond 1 recruitment PM in my career. There isn't anyone more suited in the entire league to discuss what sort of PMs there are and the different ways to recruit players.
Lets break down the different types.

The DenieD
​

The DenieD method. The most common method of recruiting players. You inform the player of your status, you offer them a good on field role, maybe an LG position. You try to tempt the player across, you don't have a super strong case so you throw this PM at anyone you can and hope it sticks. Most often used by struggling clubs and unlikeable posters.

The Callums_Guns


​

The Callums_Guns method. A riskier approach, use your teams success and a poster or two to make your team more desirable. Especially helpful if your club has just won a flag. Helps having a sausageroll in the back to entice someone over. Getting to play with an EKA favourite is something that is sure to pull in a poster or 2.

The Headless
​

The Headless method. This one relies solely on the vibes given off by the poster sending the PM. Not many words are needed if done correctly by the right poster. Only a few posters within the entirety of the Sweet FA could pull this off. The loveable scamp that is Headless would be the leading candidate to recruit anyone within Sweet with a single word.

TheInjuryFactory
​

The TiF method. There is no two ways about this one. Sell. Your. Self. No, not in the way Muddiemooses mother does on the weekends. Use your stellar career and copious amount of awards to make the club an attractive destination. Admittedly a very hard method to pull off without having the career and resulting arrogance that comes with.

The Tigerturbulance
​

The Turbo method. The rapid-fire league wide PM. Not a whole lot to say here, other than that it must be extremely successful with the way the OOBs have successfully poached recruited half the league.

The ShaunDuggan
​

The ShaunDuggan method. The method that got me, one of the best posters ever across the line. Use threats of physical violence to get what you want. Clearly it is working because under Shauns guidance the Furies are recruiting like its 1933 in Germany.

The BLUEALLTHRU
​

And last but not least. The BAT method. Still a work in progress it seems



So SFA, how will you recruit your next target?

I like archery.

This thread is going to expose a few people copy and pasting the same recruitment PM to multiple players.

PERSONALISE YOUR PLEAS, PEOPLE!!!

In b4 the melts over leaking PM contents.



BTW, BLUEALLTHRU has improved since his recruitment PM to me, this is positively dripping with love and kindness in comparison.

Greenery probably got 8 or 9 invites this offseason. Are any of the messages in the OP familiar, mate?

And that's just from the bombers LG

 

[Bovo]

I feel it’s poor form to share recruitment attempts so I’ll just share the James Colorado PM I received when he heard I was interested in the Furies

“You want to do what????”

From the one poster in it.
