But this will only work offline and will sadly reset itself back to default every week or so. Because EA also automatically update the so-called rosters when you go to the Kick-Off mode even though it really doesn't update the squads. All it has done is removed retired players from the game like Xabi Alonso. So all these manual transfers will also reset back and have to be done manually again each and every single time! EA did this intentionally because they want us to buy FIFA 18 to get the up to date squad/transfer updates. Part of their cheap marketing strategy. Yes it's the exact same way as the consoles.
