2025-08-10, 11:56 AM - Word count:
Off-Season
Tomorrow, Monday August 11th, marks the start of the official off-season period for pending FA purposes.
Pending FA period
Any player that is on an expiring contract (no contract signed for S22) is considered a pending free agent at the start of the off-season. Organizations may at that time contact a pending FA and negotiate a contract.
Any Pending FA is not a free agent until the start of the next season thus they may still sign an extension with their current team during the week without reducing the team's transfer budget. We just make to make one thing clear: A manager may not force a player to provide intent to sign. This week is intended for players to be able to talk to teams and be shown alternatives for how their future may look.
Re-rolls and redistribution
S20 players have one last chance this week to submit a re-roll and S21 have their one last chance to use their redistribution for their player via the portal.
Due to the changes with the portal, the new draft class will officially start up on August 18th with the start of the new season. Any players creating during the week of August 11th to 17th will not be approved until the following week.
SSL Prospect Draft and Next Draft Class
We are also gearing up for the SSL Prospect that is set to take place on August 17th at TBA
Regression and Portal
Regression will be run later today and the resulting TPE will be directly removed from each affected player's TPE total. A regression post will be published on the forum which will also indicate players that are automatically retired.
The deadline for regressing your player in the portal is August 22nd..
