- Hurt, and not expected to play.
- Banned from playing, usually after a red card.

Budget and price
Every player has a price, and your whole squad has to fit inside your budget. Better players cost more, so the game is deciding where your money goes.
In Primeira Liga, your budget is 100.0.
- Price
- What a player costs to add to your squad. It comes out of your budget.
- In the bank
- The part of your budget you have not spent. Selling a player puts back what you paid for them, and signing one takes their price out.
Transfers
A transfer swaps one player in your squad for a new one. You make them between rounds, before the deadline.
In Primeira Liga, you get 1 free transfer each round. Each transfer past those costs 4 points from that round’s score.
- Free transfers
- How many more transfers you can make this round without losing points. It reads Unlimited when this round’s changes cost nothing.
- Each extra
- What each transfer past your free ones costs, in points. It reads Free when they cost nothing.
- Spent this round
- The points your extra transfers have cost so far this round. They come off that round’s score.
- Picked by
- How many managers had the player in their squad in the last round whose deadline has passed.
Chips
A chip is a boost you can play on one round. Each is optional and can be used once in the competition, and you can play only one per round.
Chips in Primeira Liga: Wildcard, Star Captain, Extra Player, Free Hit, Triple Captain, and Bench Boost.
Points
Your players earn points for what they do in real matches, such as playing, scoring, assisting and keeping a clean sheet. Cards and own goals cost points. Your score for a round adds up what your starting team earns, then takes off the cost of any extra transfers.
- Clean sheet
- A match where a player’s team concedes no goals while they are on the pitch. It counts only if they play 60 minutes or more. In Primeira Liga, a clean sheet earns points for Goalkeeper, Defender, and Midfielder.
Deadlines
Every round has a deadline. Until it passes you can change your team; after it, your team is set for that round and starts collecting points.
