But there are a bunch of generic "teams" they can sign players directly from - anything in the "Senior", and "Semi-Professional Leagues" leagues, for example, as well as a few assorted other, mainly amateur, leagues - the ACAC and very low-level European leagues. If you suddenly need a player, you may find better ones there than in the free agent pool, which can be fairly empty in mid-season.

Yes, I noticed that the FA pool gets totally empty near the end of the trade deadline. I didn't have any problems yet but had 4 injured players and I was like: "Oh my god one more injury and I'm done"
I think that is not going to happen, if so I believe I can buyout one of the injured players and get another one?
