How comes it's possible for me to shop a player whos contract is about to expire on June 30th and I receive plenty of good offers for the player, relative to their ability and sometimes exceeding, would these players not be worth nothing or even draw no offers as they are likely to want to try to test free agency?
It just feels like I can get something for nothing when I know I'm not going to resign these players and seems a bit like an 'exploit' or whatever that I will have to tell myself not to use, even though it's possible in game.
Just to illustrate this point I've included the screenshots, not one of the traded players re signed for their teams. So I was able to obtain a young player and a 6th rounder, a first team player (3*) and a 1st round pick all from 'Shop player' for players who are now all sitting in the FA pool. Also, they are all unrestricted FA's so it's not like the new team even has the rights to qualify them.
