Great questions — you've mostly got it. Point by point:
Hold as long as you like? ✅ Yes. Once he's yours, he's yours until you sell — hold him a week or the whole season. Holdings ride through locked rounds untouched. (At season's end, remaining squads are sold back at the final prices and your wallet becomes withdrawable cash — nothing gets stranded.)
Max 11 in formation? ✅ Yes — the caps are 1 GK / 3 DEF / 4 MID / 3 FWD, so 11 max, and only one copy of any player. You don't have to be full though — hold 3 players and a pile of cash if that's your read.
"You've just got to be the quickest" ❌ — happy to correct this one, because it matters: there's no scarcity and no race. You're not competing with other users for a limited supply of Haalands. Everyone buys from the house at the same quoted price, so 80 users — or 8,000 — can all own Haaland at once. And prices are frozen for the whole trading window (they only change when the round completes), so buying Monday morning costs exactly the same as buying 10 seconds before the deadline. You're racing the reprice, not each other. The skill is reading form, not clicking fast.
Sales guaranteed? ✅ Yes. You always sell back to the market at the quoted sell price, instantly — no order book, no waiting for another user to want your player at your price. The house is the counterparty on every trade, both directions.
Loaned out or leaves the Premier League? He gets delisted: his price freezes at its last value and he becomes sell-only. You can cash out at that frozen price whenever you like — you're never trapped holding a ghost, and you never get force-sold. (A player who stays in the PL but stops playing is different: missed matches don't count as zeroes, so his price holds on his last four actual appearances and drifts only when he plays again — which is exactly why buying a returning player before his comeback match is one of the sharpest trades in the game.)
Per-team limits? None. If you want your entire XI to be one club's first team, the market won't stop you — only the position caps and one-copy rule apply. Whether eleven players from a single team is a diversified portfolio is between you and your leaderboard position. 😄
