When the competition is ongoing, player additions and transfers must be handled via the Marketplace.

Adding a Player Who Is Not Yet in the League
To add a new player who is not yet participating in the competition, follow the procedure.
Once completed, the player will appear in the Transfer Area, and you’ll be able to invite them to join your team.

Transferring a Player Already in the League (from another team)
To appear in the Transfer Area, the player must mark themselves as transferable.
A team wishing to recruit the player can then send them an invitation.

Note: Both additions and transfers may be blocked by the organizers or the SEL platform—for example, if the player is trying to join a team that doesn’t match their skill level, or if the transfer involves too large a division gap.
