Two players were listed on the TL, and purchased by each other's owner.

Call it whatever you want, but merely purchasing players on the TL is simply not an offense.

Neither owner logs in from the same IP, and both were sold for a fair price.

If someone else wanted them, they should have bid on them.

All rules as far as fair prices and no-same-IP always apply.

Any unfair sales are not allowed, regardless of the circumstances.

first of, I think trade is only possible by putting the players on TL. How else can one transfer a player to another team.

second, if you want to trade, you must be sure the price of the transfers is high enough, otherwise an other user might bid on them, disturbing the trade. By doing this, the transferfee you pay will be much more than when you would buy a similar player, for a normal price.
So I'd say yes, trading is alowed, because there is surely no benefit to be made, it will only cost the traders some more. It is, like Juicepats says, just like 2 transfers, anyone can bid...

An other thing, which is not trading, is when you agree with yourself, or a friend to put up a very useless player for much money, and from the other team a very good one, also for a lot of money, and and then exchange. Because both players are so diffrent, and 1 team obviously benefits, this can't be called trading. This was also stated by Juicepats, but not in so many words, hope this makes it a bit more clear to the ones that didn't get it at first.

To conclude, if you want to trade, make sure both players are about equal in skills.

better delete that post its not allowed, btw that guy is on my list to.
make your cheat report and wait, but do not post teamnames and stuff in here.

In this case, they're both USA National Team players.

I can see their skills, and I can assure you that there's nothing wrong here.

In other cases, the best way is to check out salaries.

If there's a massive salary difference, there may be a problem.

So where are the algorythms set? because with respect the players werent that much better than some of the better players we have seen trade hands for 750k - 1.25mil....

Im sure an opinion poll would take 3x 800k players for the 2.5mil they were supposedly valued at.

It was a clear trade above the current market prices for players of that caliber.

Granted they are better than 99.9% of players available to everyone on the TL but not worth 2.5mil relative to other trades for players with 1/2 levels lower sub skills.

The NBBA is a barometer for people outside the US to watch (maybe learn) and maybe copy stratagies... this trade has just sewn a grey seed of doubt into a lot of genuine trainers minds.

So shall we all now pair up and 1 person train guards and 1 train Centers? then switch for large money thus scaring anyone away from trying to gazump the trade?

For what it's worth, action taken against a cheating team, (a ban, for example), takes effect immediately. However, the team overview page will remain the same until the team goes bot.

So, just to be sure, how can I know the fair price of one guy if I wanted to put him in the TL and trade him with another manager (if it is allowed at all)
