Transfer ban for being over the limit:

Gagan 06 - 18th February 2024 - 18th March 2024 - 1st violation

I’m being very selfish here but what happens with the offending player? It was a deal between managers on first come first served basis but Gagan wasn’t able to be first legally?

 

[BenitoSTARR]

I would have had the player space today to have offered the same deal legally and went about being in that position to do so the correct way by selling Roualt

It's bad luck. The punishment is the transfer ban in accordance with the rules in the OP.

Usually every season without fail I have a bunch of injuries (four week ones especially) or suspensions. Tonight against Cardiff I got my first red card or injury of the season:

Both of them being players that rose in the last six-eight months and are higher/equal in rating to Gomes who hasn't got an increase since 2022.

I think we should do a 1 season club swap @Damien see if you can beat a 3rd place finish with Cardiff and I’ll see if I can win a league title

Looks like you didn't need to do a club swap to win the league.
