How do I sign, swap or release football players?

Signing and releasing shares is how you build and adjust your squad. Sign shares to back players you think will perform. Release shares to free up Gold and rebalance.


Key terms

  • Sign - add shares in a player to your squad.
  • Release - sell player shares for Gold, removing them from your squad.
  • Swap - release shares in one player and sign shares in another in a single action.


Where to trade

On the Transfers page you can:

  • Browse the full player market.
  • See live prices.
  • Track market trends.
  • Find the fees that apply right now.


On the Player page you can:

  • Sign, release or swap shares for a specific player.
  • See their price, upcoming fixtures and recent performance.

You can always access a player's page by clicking on their name, wherever you see them in the app.


Timing matters: signing after a player has entered the pitch means that their shares do not count for that tournament.
