I apologize if this has already been suggested, though I searched for it...

I'd like to be able to track bids on some players on the Transfer List. right now, the only way to do that easily seems to be to bid on them, and then the player shows up on your Bids page, and you can see the current bid and deadline there.

There are two reasons why I want to track these players without bidding. First, sometimes I'm not really sure if I want to bid on a player that I find on the TL, so if I can track him then I don't have to remember his name or details to quickly look him up again when I'm thinking about bidding on him.

Second, this would help me prepare for bidding by getting a better handle on the current market. If there is a certain type of player I want to bid on, but I'm not ready to bid on him yet or I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford him, I could find some players that are similar to what I'm looking for and see how much they're transfering for. That would help me budget for players, and even help me decide if I should be putting some of my own players on the TL.

Now since this is all information that anyone could get today, even though tracking TL players can be a real pain in the neck with the current set up, I could see a "Track Players" feature being a useful tool available for Supporters since it would be a major convenience for anyone, but not necessarily a tactical advantage for Supporters. However, I think this is something we should have anyway, so I'd prefer to see it as a general enhancement for the game overall and should be a basic part of the game for everyone.

Isn't this what bookmarks are for?

No, definitely not. What I'd like to see ideally is either another grouping of players on my Bids page that shows "Players I'm Tracking" who are currently on the TL. This could be right under the "Previous Bids Made By..." grouping, basically showing the same information (player's name, deadline, current bid price).
