if you put the player now, you have to pay for him for the next econimic update - on monday. When the player left your team, at this moment, the you don´t have to pay him anymore.

Hell Ya - We are coming from the North to conquer your arena ...

IIRC there was a US owner that got screwed by this last season. I could be wrong but you are going to have to pay his salary tomorrow so why not just wait one day before listing him.


I don't remember the case but I imagine it was someone who listed his player and had to bid on him to buy him back; once that transfer closes even though he technically never left the team it would still leave him ineligible for the remainder of the postseason.

Yes. Actually, you can even have a player sold before the game begins as long as it's after the lineups are locked in, which is 15 minutes before the game. So if your player sells at 7:50 and your game starts at 8:00, the player will actually still play.

Assuming, of course, the game calculates on time - if there's a delay and it starts after the transfer is processed, that would be most unfortunate. Usually that's not a problem but generally game 3 of a finals series is not the time to be open to risk.

That's why I said 7:50 and not 7:45:01. But yea, you want to be careful and given the nature of servers around new season processing time (ahem, BBs) that's probably an unnecessary risk. I'm just saying that that's how it's supposed to work.
