Are more draft players going to hit the market this upcoming season than from the last draft?

I think a lot of teams will be less interested in many picks, because they'll make a less immediate impact on their teams.

To get a player from the draft into the roster, is not so interesting now.
But to buy player from the draft into YA, is VERY interesting now.

The drafted players by bots are always released and go into a pool.

Every day a certain amount of players out of that pool are entering the TM.

But please remember that all players without a team are in this pool.

So the players hitting the market can be nice, good, excelent or totally crap.

The amount of players per day is based on the human users, so the more users, the more players.

There will be NO big wave of Free Agents!
It might be that the quality of players in the market will increase, but don't count on it heavyly.


If pool have fixed size.
The number of FA from the draft can grow.

Talk about widening the gap between new and old teams... Those top managers will be able to fill their teams with good players at almost no cost. They have lots of money, there will be a lot of players to choose from. But what about new teams? I can't pay more than 500k for a player and if I increase my stadium capacity I won't have anything to bid with. I guess there are lots of ppl in my situation. That's gonna suck.


You need to max your stadium out b4 you even think of doing anything else!

Maybe at about the 70-80k mark you get coaches, and then at the 144k mark you get the fully upgraded YA. Forget about players until then!

Of course, the first thing to do when you start is get a lvl 20 scout.

Yeah, but how long does it take to max the stadium? I'm repeating myself. Up to this point, new teams had away SC games that enabled them big income. From next season on, that's gonna change. Most of the SC teams will have 5k stadium so the income is gonna be reduced.

All the more reason to get your stadium up to max.

It seems it might take a little longer than in the past but probably not that big of a deal.

SC games are always played in the bigger stadium. So as hosh said, all the more reason to invest into your stadium, since against a bot opponent you will be playing at home.

This seems to be most of what is happening right now. I think its been a long time since I've seen a FA in the TM that I was actually interested in.

You want money out of the game, change the requirements on FA's being posted in the TM.

Yes do this. Although I didn't start on coaches until the stadium was basically complete.

My strategy was to look for younger cheap players that I could develop into better players over time, instead of going for older better players right away. This worked very well and I still won a lot of games. You won't be able to afford extra draft players this off season.

As Ranagol points out, all SC games are played at the larger stadium so that is your first priority. Don't forget, if your stadium grows after the initial schedule comes out you can request a venue change to your 'now larger' stadium. If you opponent is a bot (or like goes bot after the schedule comes out) you will automatically be granted the venue changes when requested. I always double check my SC games a few days before kickoff to make sure my opponent hadn't gone bot and if he did to make the change to my stadium.
