The transfer market gets a makeover
At ELDT we know the market is where teams are built, so we’ve redesigned it so you can put your squad together without the faff. You now get an executive summary of your moves, filters that actually work properly, and three new tools that are going to change the way you bid for your signings. The key thing: everything is still free and the game remains a place where real managers make the decisions.
Automatic bidding, transparent sales, alerts for your searches
Capped bidding is the big one. You tell the game the most you’re willing to pay for a player, and if someone beats you while you’re asleep or having a coffee, the system raises your bid by the minimum needed without going past your limit. Your cap stays secret, so nobody knows your ceiling. It works like a proper auction, but without you having to stare at the screen all day.

Saved searches take the hassle out of trawling through everything. You set up the filters you need — goalkeeper under 25 years old with OVR 14 or more, holding midfielder with experience, whatever you like — save them, and we’ll ping you on the bell and on your mobile every time someone like that goes up for sale. That way, no signing you care about slips through the net.
So you know where you stand when you buy, every player now shows how much was paid over the last two weeks for similar profiles. It’s real market information: if you see you paid more or less than normal, you’ll know straight away. And at the top you’ve got a summary showing how many auctions you’re winning, how much you’d spend if you won them all, where you’ve been outbid, which ones end today, and your sales.
The player cards have had a design overhaul to make everything clearer: you see the position in full, whether you’re winning or losing the bid, a clock with a bar that turns orange in the last three hours, and a button that tells you exactly what to do next (bid, bid again, or set a cap). The filters on the left now let you pick several positions at once, and there are quick-search shortcuts: auctions ending in less than three hours, ones with no bids yet, those listed by a manager, or players under 22.
If you’re not playing yet, head to the market and give it a go. If you’re already a manager in ELDT, jump into /mercado and see how much easier it is to shape your next line-up.
