A massive part of FFO is the opportunity to improve your team by transferring players and/or cash to and from your club. Transfer windows are weekly and run from 9pm Sunday until 9am Saturday. Transfers are processed on Saturday, ready for Monday match days
All transfers are officially binding (and able to be processed) ONLY ON THE Forum! Public and private agreements made through other media are in no way binding except by the honour of the managers involved. Once a deal is officially binding and provided it does not violate transfers rule, it WILL BE processed.
Transfers that are deemed corrupt or rigged will be cancelled.
During the season, clubs can sign up to 6 players and sell up to 6 players per weekly transfer window.
The EOS windows will be ‘transfer bonanzas’ There will be no limit on the number of players that can be brought in or sent out as long as none of the transfers violate the transfer rules.
If you sell a player, you cannot sign that player back to your current team for a minimum of one calendar year. This restriction applies even if you change teams. This restriction is removed if the player is legally transferred from his new team to a team that is not your former or current team.
Transfers must be completed in full at the time of the transfer. There are two financial aspects and one practical aspect to this.
The first financial aspect is that a team may not go into debt to complete a transfer. If a team attempts a transfer that will put them in debt, that transfer will be reversed.
The second financial aspect of this is that future payments are not allowed. If a transfer deal seems a bit light from one side and then at some point in the future a deal that seems to be a ‘make-up’ deal is agreed to by the two teams in question, the deals will be scrutinized and a decision will be made by the administration. If the administration finds the deal to be in order, it will stand. If the administration finds the deal to be a future payment type situation, BOTH parties will be found in violation of these rules and will be punished accordingly in addition to possibly finding the deal reversed (if possible).
Sometimes the loan of a player can be more desirable than a permanent transfer. This is a situation in which the player’s rights are retained by one team while he plays for another.
Loans are a type of transfer. Therefore, all the rules that apply to transfers also apply to loans as well. The additional rules regarding loans follow.
Each team is allowed to loan in up to 2 players.
A team may not purchase additional loan-in slots.
Each team is allowed to loan out 2 players with no fee to the league. A team may buy up to two additional loan-out slots for an £8,000,000 fee per slot to the league.
There is a maximum skill level for a loan player at the beginning of his loan. A player may increase his playing level during the course of the loan and remain on loan.
1st Tier: 18
2nd Tier: 17
3rd Tier: 16
Clubs may only loan a maximum of 1 player from any club.
Managers with less than 3 months concurrent experience in FFO2 are allowed to make deals but every transfer will be reviewed by admin before it is processed. If we feel any transfer does not benefit the new manager’s club, we will cancel the transfer. After 3 months of consistently playing, a manager will be considered ‘experienced’ and every transfer made by the manager will no longer be reviewed.
The minimum loan period is 4 weeks. The maximum is one season. All loan players are returned to their home teams on completion of a season. You may loan a player to the same team for more than one season but a new deal has to be worked out between seasons. You may make multiple short-term loans of the same player to the same team during a season as long as each of the loans is at least 4 weeks.
