Do you always ask your assistant to filter out unrealistic targets? Just wondering if it's ever worth trying to buy players without checking the box?

I've found that the assistant often filters out decent players that are willing to join the club.

Suppose it depends how good your assistant is maybe??

Dafuge, are you saying that by ticking the box that says to filter out unrealistic targets, im actually asking my ass man to remove some possible signings that are good?

By checking the filter out unrealistic targets, the assistant manager will filter out players that are not willing to join your club at this point of time. Even when you offer the best contract, they still will not join. The players that are filtered are the ones that are intersted in joining your club.
