They will be out there for an unknown amount of time, eventually coming back when BB-screwed-economy should need them ;)

Hey guys. Another question: BB-Charles said free agency was returning (for now) because player prices have been going sky high since the beginning of the season, so adding more players to the mix to increase competition and lower prices is a great idea. But do you know until when this is going to last? Until the values of sales reach a pre-determined value, I imagine. Just because I've seen a lot of would-be great additions but was outbid in all of them, so hopefully if this thing went on longer my chances would increase (the big sharks would be getting full and leaving some food for the little fishies)


Not only that, but free agents remove money from the game. The transfer cost of the FA has no team to go to, so it disappears, and can't be re-spent on other players (which would be possible if you or I were selling the player).

Yeah I understand that, so it's actually draining money from the BB economy. But on the other hand the money we get from attendances or cup wins is also being generated from nothing? What I understood was that since teams were richer they had more money to spend. As the number of players available didn't increase accordingly, prices went up, so new players were injected to balance this

This is my idea, it may be completely wrong :P. But from what I've seen on the transfer market it was just a one time input. Saturday or so all the FA will have been absorbed

It appears to be a one-time thing, unless prices don't fall as much as the BBs would like to see. I hope it's a one-week deal, rather than something that lasts until the salary updates in season 11.

i bloody hope not!!!!!!!
i spent all my money on my arena just before this un announced change came.
meaning im now at a huge disadvantage as prices drop and many teams in my div get much better players,
they better be around till atleast end of this season, or im going to be even more disadvantaged.
struggling in div 2 isnt fun, but spending money that now could have saved me from demotion because of an un announced change is just plain game destroying.
i felt i was one step behind in my new div, now i feel 2 huge steps behind my div and worried if div 3 get good buys on the free agents then i may be behind there aswell.

Right with you there . prettyinpink . . before the FA announcement, with alot of cash and a full roster i went and spent it on arena expansion.

Now have no cash to bid on those FA's :(

it doesnt matter if every team bought one or not, prices are dropping for all players meaning i could have strengthened my team rather then upgraded my arena.

even just one new player in my div to a team outside the top 4 in my div causes a chain reaction through the div on how teams will look and play against each other, a team i may win against playing normal may become a crunch time win only , or other teams may now see that team unbeatable tie them and have higher enthusiasm against me.

the change had to happen i agree with that, im just saying it better be around long enough for the teams that got disadvantaged from it (like me) to get a nibble of the pie.
