Transfers

There are very few clubs who can have a successful season without dealing in some sort of transfer of players, as few sides have the depth of quality players needed for a prolonged season of success. In KICKABOUT, there are two ways of acquiring new, qualified players; by purchasing them from other teams, or by outbidding everyone else when the transfer `Auction’ has something on offer you want. For the first of these methods to succeed, you will have to contact the opposite manager, and the two of you can then thrash out any deals you wish. Provided that we receive matching instructions from both of the players involved, then the deal will take place at the end of the session that they submit it. (NOTE: This means AFTER all the matches for that session have been played, not before!)

Both sides must agree, and the player, or players, involved in the deal must be uninjured and free from suspensions. If they are not, then the deal will be cancelled.

However, if a manager knows in advance that the player he wants is either injured or suspended he can let us know about it, and we will allow the deal to go through. Also, to safeguard against unscrupulous managers (who tend to be better known as `cheats’), you can specify all the details of the player(s) you expect to receive as part of the deal (except for BW/CR stats), and if they don’t match, we will also cancel it.

We reserve the right to cut out deals that we think are either unfair, dubious, or the result of two friends trying to asset-strip one side, and leave the other as a super-team. We are willing to listen to argument on the matter, but don’t expect sympathy if you are guilty of trying to win an unfair advantage. The only other time a deal such as this will be blocked is if the player(s) involved is currently out of contract, and has appeared in the same sessions Auction List. If this is the case, then the deal will be ignored, and the player will be sold as is normal for an auction.

The only other thing to note is that there are just six slots available on your orders sheet for deals. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM YOU CAN DO PER SESSION. Please don’t try to do more than this, as it will simply not be allowed, and all of your deals may be cancelled as a result.

The same goes for bidding in the Auction - there are just eight slots, and that is the maximum number of bids you can tender. Also try to remember that ALL such deals are done AFTER the matches have been played; it’s no good trying to buy a player with the intention of putting him in this week’s games, nor trying to sell an unqualified SBY so that you can discover another on the same week. Transfers occur AFTER the games have been played.
