WSFFL Rulebook - Removing Players from your Squad

There are various ways to do this. 

1) You could advertise that you have a player (or players) for sale and ask a price and see if any manager is willing to take the bait. Don't be surprised if no one does though, there isn't very much movement between clubs.

2) The other main way will be to dump the player(s) concerned into the pool. The pool is essentially Premier League players who are not in a WSFFL team. You will get back £500k should you choose to dump a player. If your player cost more than £500k it should be noted that if you choose to buy him back he will be reinstated in your squad at that original fee for wage bill purposes.*

The pool is however not necessarily 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 League Cup team). Just ask the co-ordinator in such instances.

3) Your player may be relegated from the PL at the end of the season. If you choose to let him go you will be given half of what you paid for him (minimum 500k) and be given 'first refusal' if he is re-signed by a different PL club. The WSFFL manager will repay that reimbursement and the player will be reinstated in the squad at the same value for wage bill purposes. 

While letting a relegated player go will free up a space in your squad for a new signing it will mean that you won't be offered any fee if that player is transferred 'in real life'.

The 'first refusal' expires at the end of the first transfer window following relegation as does the manager's right to claim the fee if the player is transferred in real life. A manager can retain the player in case they come back to the PL in future but will continue to pay their wages and not be able to use them in a match day squad.

*The record of those fees is wiped at the end of each season.
