How to Use the Transfer List
Scouting Players
- Filters: Use the top filters to narrow your search by age, skill points (e.g., aim, quickness, awareness), skill point limits, fame (important for streamers), Exp, Leadership lvl. Utilize these filters to match your team’s needs.
- Player Details: Click a player to see full stats, skills, talent points, current bid status, deadline and the team that is selling the player. Tooltips can provide extra insights, hover over e.g. the skill bars for details.
- Pro Tips: Focus on young prospects (15–20) with high potential for long-term gains, or mid-career stars for immediate impact. For financially stable teams it can also be an option to buy a high-fame player that is not playing on the main roster and solely streams for high money returns.
Short List
- Feature: Add players to your Short List for one-click monitoring, perfect for tracking targeted players.
- Use Case: Shortlist promising players you plan to bid on later, saves time fiddling with the Transfer List filters and give you all the faved players on one glance.
Bidding Process
Bidding is the heart of the Transfer List, a competitive auction where the highest bid wins. Here’s how it works:
- Minimum Bid: Start with the listed entry price or bid at least 10% higher than the current highest bid. Example: If the latest bid is 1,100 CPL, your minimum bet is 1,210 CPL. No need to get out the calculator though, our system will automatically display the lowest possible bid for you once you click on “Place bid”.
- Deadline Extension: If a bid is placed within 3 minutes of the deadline, it extends by 3 minutes to give others a fair shot. This can repeat if new bids keep coming.
- Notifications: You get a system message if outbid, act fast to counter or move on.
- Winning a Bid: Once your bid holds after the deadline, you’ll receive a system message confirming your win. The player joins your team 24 hours later.
Pro Tip: Set reminders (e.g. on your phone) for deadlines, last-minute snipe bids can steal the show!
Financial Considerations
- Budget Management: Bids drain CPL instantly upon placement. Check your Finances to avoid overextension.
- Long-Term Value: Factor in training, gear, and retirement age (38–42). A 20-year-old with 90 skill limit might outvalue a 35-year-old star short-term as the youngster will profit from loyalty incentives like Small heart, Big heart, etc.
Post-Bid Actions
- Confirmation Wait: After winning, the 24-hour delay lets you plan (e.g., free roster spots, upgrade rooms).
- Integration: Player auto-joins your Squad 24 hours after you won the bidding.
- Lost Bids: If outbid, reallocate CPL to other targets or save for the next opportunity / occasion.
Tips for Transfer List Success
- Scout Smart: Use filters daily, new players list often. Factor in things like training, analysis and the such to get a full picture for the potential of a player.
- Bid Strategy: Start low if competition is light; jump 10%+ late to deter rivals. Watch the deadlines and their extensions.
- Timing: Try for off-hours for steals as less players will be online around those times. Use alarms (e.g. on your phone) to remind yourself to bid.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Overbidding: Chasing a star past your budget kills finances, stick to calculated limits.
- Ignoring Deadlines: Miss extensions, lose your shot. Set alerts (e.g. on your phone).
- No Plan: Bidding without lineup needs wastes CPL, align with team gaps / needs.
