If you're searching for retired players prior to Tuesday night (USA EST), it's very difficult to wade through the TL and get to the point where you can view the "free agents" on the market.

Another idea is being able to search by end time - for example, I could search for all auctions ending between 10PM tomorrow and 2AM Thursday. I actually greatly prefer this to the retired player suggestion - but hey, I'd like both.

I was more gearing toward the point that there isn't any reason I can think of to search specifically for retired players. The only difference between them and any other player is the asking price, and you can already control for that through the salary filter.

I'd also like to be able to filter for retired ("Free Agent") players.

Why?


Free agents are guaranteed to get sold for a fair price - while other players are listed for overvalued fantasy prices most of the times. I prefer to look for those players myself too.

And you do just fine by using the current bid filter, correct?

When setting future bookmarks, the current bid/salary filters aren't really enough.

If you want to search through Retired players that aren't even listed, I don't think this is ever going to happen. The search function is taxing as it is.

No, I'm talking only about players who are listed. By future bookmarks, I mean setting Tuesday and Wednesday bookmarks on Monday, for example.

I guess I don't understand how not having a FA option prevents you from searching for cheap players and putting them on your bookmarks list.

If you filter by current bid = 0, you will get all free agents that haven't been bid yet
If you filter by current bid = 1000, you will get all players listed at minimal price (which should be observationally identical to FAs in most cases).
If you filter by current bid = (arbitrary small number), you will get a bunch of cheap players that you can bookmark at your convenience.

I don't know why you need to be a know-it-all every single time...

Of course I can filter by bids, but this was a insufficient method for me in the past and I searched the transfer list very intensly for a few weeks and my personal conclusion from this is that additional filters would be a huge improvement for me, so whats your problem with that?

My problem is that I don't understand why or how it will be a huge improvement, and you seem to be unable to explain in any way better than "because I think so". Of course, I could simply conclude that ("because I think so") this feature is useless and will not be implemented and end the conversation there. I guess you would have preferred that.
