    FAQ
    Will the 8 man cap apply?
    Yes, all teams can only sign eight players until all teams do. You will also only be able play eight in games again next season, so recruit with that in mind.

    How do we get rid of shitty players from our rosters?
    You can't. You agreed on this contract and must live up to it. Try trading with another team before the All-Star Weekend (obv closed atm, trading opens when contracts do), but all parties must agree - this includes all players. If you can't contract them, well bad luck.

    Is this list complete?
    No, it contains just a list of players who have played a game this season.
