The re-categorisation process (now obsolete)

(This rule was replaced in August 2020)

Each year, during July, the WSFFL re-categorisation (recat) process takes place.

Every player in the WSFFL has their position in the game compared with their position on the squad page of the Premier League official website. The WSFFL manager is informed if any of their players have their category changed.

The manager can then do one of three things:
1) Accept the decision
2) Release the player to the summer pool and be reimbursed by their value in the game
3) Appeal

The appeal process works as follows.

The manager will check his player's position on five trusted websites (currently ESPN FC, SoccerBase, Transfermarkt, Sky Sports and the official club website) and if a majority of these sources disagree with the position in the game the manager needs to send these links to the co-ordinator for verification.

Managers can also ask for a re-cat during the season if a player's position on the squad page of the Premier League website has changed from that in the game. They will need to make the co-ordinator aware of that by sending a link to that page.
