Trades

The Trade Center lets you deal directly with other clubs — swapping players to fill a need without spending a transfer fee. A good trade can reshape your squad overnight.

Building a trade

Pick a club to deal with.
Choose the players you’ll give up and the players you want in return — up to two players on each side (a straight one-for-one, or as much as a two-for-two).
Filter by position on either side to zero in on what you need.
Propose the trade and see whether the other club accepts.

You can filter both rosters by position to line up the pieces that make sense for both clubs.

Getting a deal accepted

The other club will only agree to a trade it sees as fair value for its side. If your offer is turned down, sweeten it — offer a better player, ask for a lesser one, or target a club that actually needs what you’re offering. A club is far more likely to say yes when you’re sending a player who fills a hole in their squad.

Both clubs must stay legal

A trade only goes through if both clubs remain compliant afterward — within the salary cap, the international limit, and the roster size rules. A deal that would put either side out of bounds can’t be completed.

Shopping a player — “Offer Out”

Every senior player has an availability setting: Not for sale, Will listen, or Offer out. The first discourages approaches, the middle leaves the door open, and Offer out actively invites bids. Set it from the player’s profile.

When you offer out one of your players, the league resolves a single best offer for him:

An NSL trade — cash and/or up to two players coming back from a rival club. To make room, the other club may even waive one of its own players to free agency.
An international sale — a straight cash exit when no domestic club can fit him under the cap. Only rated players draw this interest.
Or “No offers.” — a weak, aging, or hard-to-place player may simply find no takers.

You get exactly one offer to take or leave. Accept and the deal settles immediately — players, cash, and cap all move; Decline and you keep your man, no harm done. Any package you receive is guaranteed to leave your club legal on the cap, roster size, and international limit.

Offering out is available whenever roster moves are open. Expect interest within a week or two; you always see the offer before deciding.

When roster moves close

Trades, signings, sales, loans, and releases stay open through most of the season, then close for the run-in: they shut for the final four weeks of a standard regular season and stay shut through the playoffs and the NoZo Cup. They reopen when the next offseason begins.

Youth call-ups are the exception — promoting and demoting between your first team and the youth team stays available in every phase, even while everything else is locked. Plan your run-in squad before the close: once it’s shut, your only lever is the youth team.
