you are sorta right
the league page show me which players are available for sale in my league


tactically, from a game/season perspective, knowing that an opponent is selling in, perhaps an attempt to upgrade before seasons end, is tactically good information.

Now your right - knowing that that team is selling means you get first dibs on him. But everything from there on in is a normal purchase and will go through the normal purchase scrutiny.

buying a player for too much/too little etc.

so whilst the information on the league screen does give you notice that someone in your league is selling a player, and that does enable you to bid on him first, everything after is the same as me finding a player on the transfer market.

Yeah, basically I look at that as a convenience function - prior to that feature being added one could check the roster of their leaguemates once every couple of days and note what players are being transferred, and do with that information whatever they wanted. I used to note down the skills of pretty much every non-scrub player listed by a league opponent in case they did not sell and I would face them again in the future, on the off chance that having that information would help set a more effective lineup against them (i.e., if I knew one big man had 1 OD and the other 7 OD, and they always played in the same positions, I might put the big man I wanted to shoot outside shots more frequently against the 1 OD guy). Of course, it's also useful as a means of noticing that a player who has been a thorn in your side might now be available to purchase, but that again is more a convenience factor.

yer as per hrudey's post.

its a good feature! :)

Sadly, after playing this game for many many years, you usually already know a players 'rough' stats, just by how they play in the game!

sad isnt it :D
