Hello
I suggest 1 second free agent market
Instead of replacing standard transfers, we introduce a Secondary Free Agency Window during the off-season. This market gives managers a controlled, stress-free way to sign targeted talent without fighting live auction timers.
Access to this secondary pool is managed through a single resource: Free Agent Scouting Balls (where 1 Ball = 1% off the upfront signing fee ).
💳 One Market, Two Ways to Access It
Managers choose how they qualify for the Secondary Market based on their financial health:
Path A: Cash Investment )
For healthy teams: Invest cash weekly during the season (like draft scouting) to build up Free Agent Balls smoothly over time. same formula as draft balls
Path B: The 5-Player Swap )
For struggling teams: Waive 5 qualified, tenure-backed roster players to immediately earn 1 Free Agent Ball. It’s a harsh rate on purpose—acting as an emergency option to dump dead-weight wages and stop bankruptcy. Can’t be abused, because the value of freeagent ball is to low, u need them to activate this option as well., so many time a season limit as well.
How It Protects the League Economy
This secondary window works seamlessly alongside Regular Free Agency to create a balanced 3-part economy:
Regular Free Agency (Live Auctions): Drains excess cash from rich teams competing for immediate, mid-season player needs.
Secondary Market - Cash Path: Buffers inflation by giving budget-conscious teams a stable, non-competitive off-season pipeline.
Secondary Market - Swap Path: Purges redundant, unmarketable players from the database to rescue insolvent clubs from dying.
The Key Safeguard: Discounts in the Secondary Market only apply to upfront signing fees. Weekly wages stay standardized, ensuring player values remain fair across the entire league
