Listed below are the changes confirmed effective from start of Season 5, so that you could plan for it in advance.

1. Retiring players can no longer be released from a team after one-thirds of the season has progressed.

2. Changes to Loan system
- Loan bids now involve a "signing fee", and the team that offered the highest "signing fee" will get the player on loan until end of the season.
- The minimum "signing fee" that you can bid will be 1% of the player's current value, or 10% above the current highest bid, whichever is higher.
- Similar to staff contract offers, your team's board will limit the maximum "signing fee" that you can bid, based on your current available bank balance.
- The current limits of maximum two players out and two players in on loan for a team will remain as it is. Also, loan deals are only possible before one-thirds of the season is over.
- Teams who signed a player on loan gets 2.5% of the "signing fee" back for every match the player plays in, including custom matches for which experience gains are enabled.
- Players going on loan to another team will still train with their own teams. The manager of their own team will decide what attribute to train and the training efficiency will be determined by the coaches and training centre at the player's own team.
- Player wages will be borne by the team who loaned in the player, and if necessary the player can be sent back to his own team after 14 days of signing him.
