Clubs must maintain between 21 and 32 players and a at least 2 goalkeepers, 7 defenders, 8 midfielders and 4 forwards at any point.
Managers may only trade a maximum of 6 players with other clubs: 3 in and 3 out. However, they may buy any number of players off of the Free Bench up to the maximum club size of 32.
Aside from trading players in the transfer market, the only way for a manager to “fire” a player is to not renew their contract. It is important for managers to ensure that they stay at or above the 21 player minimum, otherwise they will receive low-ranked players from the Free Bench at the end of the season.
When a manager lists a player for auction in the transfer market, the auction lasts for 7 days after the first bid is placed (4 days in pre-release betas).
When a manager bids on a player that is on the Free Bench, the auction lasts 1 day (1 day in pre-release betas as well).
If a club is in debt at the end of a season, it may be forced to sell valuable players and possibly acquire low rated players from the Free Bench if the squad size is below the minimum amount. See the section on “Resolving End-of-Season Debt” for more information.
