I know, and usually that works to deter me. Unfortunately this time I went directly to the player's link, bypassing the transfer market because I had already been eyeing him from a few days earlier. He was eligible when I first discovered him. My brain simply didn't process the possibility that he was put on the market again, this time without being eligible....

Minor suggestion: can we please make it easier to move and swap prospects on the scouting page? I don’t like scouting player #50 just for fear of having to move him up to the #1 slot. 😅

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

It has my support,altough establishing FA deadline be in addition might be a good idea.

Just a random question... everybody suggests minor adjustments to the game..

But.. Has any of the suggestions been implemented?

Hello

Yes. I think utopia is one. I could be wrong there
