Option to select "retire player if unsold"

Post by Trippaa » Mon May 13, 2024 11:01 am

Borrowing this from another management game I play and when you list a player for sale you have the option to "fire player if unsold".

Basically this allows you to list a player and regardless if they sell or not they are guaranteed to be removed from your squad after the sale deadline.

This is beneficial especially if trying to reduce squad salary expenditure, where you can sometimes list an older player hoping they get sold to reduce overheads and they don't sell and they chip into your following weeks expenses if you don't check back in time.

I hope that all makes sense.

Unsure how hard that would be to implement, but I have used it a lot in the management game where it's in place

I think I know which game inspired this. I agree.

Great idea - membership only feature?

I am not sure it's a big enough feature to be membership only but not opposed to it either.

I just see it as a way to be able to list players and ensure they are discarded either way (sold or retired/fired) and not retained as dead weight/money in the squad.

Perhaps instead of membership only there be a token fee associated with the ticking of the "retire/fire if unsold option" say $500 or something ... This Would also stop a whole bunch of worthless youth recruits flooding the market with that option.

Hope that makes sense
