although the idea is well intentioned it can never be made possible. the BBs have already implemented programming to make sure users don't over bid on players. it would be too much of a hassle for them to individually review each request as they have enough complaints and issues with the servers as it is. hypothetically, say two teams do decide to do this. both bid very high, but a third party joins in on the bidding and outbids one of the users initially involved in the trade. that's great for one of the initial users in the trade, but kind of sucks for the other one. there is still an unnecessary risk involved that the BBs shouldn't have to deal with because there will most likely be complaints.

on top of that this suggested system would be another unfair advantage to top division teams. lower division teams do not have the money to mutually overbid for players. they would get screwed every time if they even tried, especially by users who do not like trading.

It is called collusion, and well intentioned or not it gives unfair advantage to allow any form of direct trade. Train/market is what we all must do.

As everyone has said in theory its a nice idea, but in reality there is no chance, either it creates a truckload more work for the staff trying to review trades to make sure only fair ones go through or you create an avenue for cheating.

The way i see it the only possibility for trading would be inter-league. You could only trade players with teams within your league and then after both teams accept the offer it has to be approved as fair by at least half the teams in the league. Even this would be very hard to implement as the lower leagues with more bots and non active users might not get the half votes required. And would it be relied upon trust of each team to supply the correct skills of each player while negotiating? or would they just be displayed in the open going against the whole privacy of skills thing that's going on now.

The transfer list is the fairest way of doing it, i guess you could always just consider it a trade when you sell 2 players for a profit of 500k then buy another player with that money as in theory your swapping them 2 for the new 1

Only something like if the same amount of money were going in opposite way in another transfer, it's ok - sort of this kind of automatic review could be implemented. The question is whether it should be allowed at all.

that wont work, just because the transfers are for the same amount of money doesn't mean the players involved are of equal value. It doesn't stop cheating, the issue would be people trading good players for bad players to help a mate out or if they had two accounts.


If that was to work it would need to take into account of the salary's of the players involved to make sure it wasn't uneven. Its to complicated to work.

There's nothing wrong with the current transfer system, if you want a certain type of player buy him off the transfer list, if you were going to trade another player for him anyway then if he was of equal value you'd get a similar price if you sold him so there is no point to involving trades.

It is just a way for two people to help each other gain an advantage over everyone else. Level playing field is what it is all about.

You can certainly pull off a trade (it's happened before), but the transfers must be made at market rates, and each transfer is evaluated as if it happened on it's own.

Of course, you risk someone else bidding, so it's not foolproof.

I can remember 2 very famous trades that were debated quite fiercely.... they were the days!!
