Hey, hi patrida.
Well, those players must be over 30 y.o. and the game gives them to you in the beginning of the season because your team hasn't enough players.
Yes, you cannot sell them because they are old and they are retiring, just sack them/fire them when you buy other players to have a squad of 15 players.
*remember that this is happening only in the beginning of the season. If you go out of players in the middle of the season (cards-injuries) , then you cannot play the match and you 'll loose 3-0.

Yes to avoid this you need to have a minimum squad of 14 players who are in contract at start of season. It is nice in a way they make sure you have enough, but bad because you have to pay to sack them, so best to avoid if possible.

You pay zero money if you want to sack them Cat... Free to come, free to go...

[Cat Harrison]

Really? I thought you had to pay to sack anyone except retiring guys last day of Season..
I never had players given to me, though, just my own old guys. Learned something today.

I realized that when half of players had contracts expired first day of new season... Game added few to have regular squad of 14, so i had to sack them b4 I renewed contracts with my players...

Hey Cat, I don't think that it's a very good idea. With that, many abandoned/ghost teams continue playing and spoiling the leagues - some teams won them 10-0, other get a 3-0 cause the ghost team has injuries or cards.
Another thing is that if playing with such a team, usually they cripple my players.
I think if a team is inactive should be stay in the fridge till the manager shows again that he is active.
Better to fill with bot teams. At least they are playing with right formations and some time a descent football.

[Cat Harrison]

I do agree with you, the fill in players are only good if the manager was on vacation, but still intends to run his team!

I HATE abandoned teams, I wish the people who know they aren't coming back would do all the rest of us a favor and take over a level 1 team before abandoning it.
