1) Bid for them at one of our auctions held in August, September and February (generally!) These will mostly be new players coming into the league during the transfer windows, or full promoted teams during the August AGM/Auction.
The promoted teams' players will come from the 'first team' page of the official club website. Any players with the club's age-restricted or development teams will not be auctioned and will be freely available from the pool. The auction takes long enough as it is!
2) You can approach another manager and make an offer for one of their players (sometimes works but people can have an inflated idea of value).
3) Or you can buy players out of the pool*. Each one will cost you £500,000**. (Lists of everybody's squads and the pool can be found at http://wsffl.blogspot.com or by contacting the co-ordinator).
The pool spreadsheet is not exhaustive. If there are any players not in the pool but not in anyone's squad either, then the chances are they're available to buy (this is particularly the case with young players, e.g. Arsenal's Carling Cup team). Just ask the co-ordinator in such instances. He'll have to check that the player in question isn't a recent signing and will need to be offered to the full membership of the league under the 'new player availability' rule. (Same as the 'pool cooling down' rule but with a different name.)

*If you drop a player into the pool and want to buy him back you can do, but you will have to pay at least the amount you received in compensation. He will also be restored in your squad at his previous value. (This stops people pulling a fast one with their wage bill). These previous fee details are deleted at the end of each season.
There's a weird auction loophole that's probably worth noting here. If you sell a player then you can't buy him back at the auction unless you pay the amount that you received for the player. However, if the player is unsold at the auction he drops into the pool and becomes freely available at the usual 500k fee. This is the 'Danny Drinkwater auction loophole'.
** It's not real money
