Transfers
New players enter project-run rolling auctions. Managers bid against one another, but do not list players for direct sale to other managers; every lot is created from the project’s player pool.
The market in numbers#
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| New lots | 5 at a time, up to 500 open at once |
| Who is listed | Players from the pool, OVR 250 to 350, no older than 30; at least a third of open lots are freshly generated players, the rest players sold by clubs, who wait 24 to 168 hours before being listed |
| Opening price | The player's value |
| Duration | Until the displayed deadline; a bid in the final extension window moves that deadline forward |
| Minimum raise | 2% |
| Blitz | Buy outright at 3 times the opening price |
| Gems lots | Above the median strength of recent lots, two lots in three are priced in Gems; below it, one in three. The rate is 4,500 per Gem, minimum raise 2% and at least 1 |
| Filters | Date, price, deadline, OVR, age, position |
Bidding#
Enter the most you are willing to pay and the market bids on your behalf, only as high as it needs to stay in front. Your bid is held from your balance until the lot settles or you are outbid, and while you lead a lot a squad slot is held for the incoming player. If you are leading when the timer runs out, the player is yours. A lot that ends with no bids returns to the pool to be listed again later.
The notification feed records when you are outbid, when you win a normal auction and when a bid is cancelled and refunded. Your first bid does not create a notification. A Blitz buyer receives no separate auction-win notification, but a previous standing bidder displaced by that purchase receives an outbid notification. You can also enable the Transfers topic for Telegram.
Selling#
Sell player, on the card or the Transfers screen, is the quicksell action: the club releases the player immediately, receives part of his base value and sends him back to the project pool. The first quicksell of a season pays 80%, and every later quicksell reduces the rate by 5 percentage points until the 50% floor. For example, the second pays 75%, the third 70% and the seventh and every later sale pay 50%. Repeated sales in one season are therefore less profitable. The screen previews the exact return before confirmation. You cannot sell below 18 players or below 2 goalkeepers.
The closed period#
From the last championship round to the start of the new season no new lots are listed. Lots already open run to their deadlines. My History keeps every deal you made.
