Transfer market change

22-05-2015 11:00 We are making changes to the transfer market that will allow Managers in different countries to increase the number of foreign players they are allowed to have in their teams. This is a revision to the original changes made several Seasons ago and the more recent update. We have looked at every team in every division to see how many players they have trained, or bought from foreign or domestic teams, as well as considered how the changes to deteriorations and training are affecting the transfer market. Players qualify for work permits by playing in foreign countries. Two limits now exist, foreign player limit and dual nationality limit. Foreign Players cannot play for a different National Team. The Transfer Regions will be reviewed periodically, and we'll consider carefully any feedback received on the levels and regions. Changes are noted in red below. Region A – These countries generally have a strong and active domestic transfer market. Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Sweden and Turkey Region B – These countries generally have an active domestic transfer market, but there are times when the market is slow or limited.
