Hostile Clause

Every player has a value called the Release Clause, which is more often referred to as the Hostile Clause. This is the value the controlling manager has determined as the value for the player he is willing to accept without needing to give manual consent.

The Hostile Clause is set by Signing or Re-Signing a player and is determined through a hidden formula that takes into account the players average, Salary, and Fidelity. There may be more factors in the equation, but those have not been determined yet.

A managers team is immune to having its players hostiled until reaching 8000 experience points. Once 8000xp has been reached, all Senior players and all Junior players that have not been Resigned (R) are vulnerable to being hostiled. Junior players can be protected from this action by being Resigned. The drawback to this is that the player can then not be traded or loaned out to any other team until the end of the season. The advantage is the player is completely immune to being hostiled.

It is often a shock for a newer player to hit the 8000 threshold and suddenly have multiple players claimed in this way.
