The shortlist is primarily used to track any player you are interested in buying either now or at a future date when you have the necessary funds to undertake the transfer (see transfers). However, sometimes you might simply want to keep track of a player who has caught your eye and you want to see how they develop.
When you bid for a player he'll automatically be added to your shortlist, or you can add him without making a formal offer by accessing his Player Profile, then clicking on 'Shortlist Player', and then clicking on ‘Add to Shortlist’. Any news related to that player will then be displayed in your Club Messages.
As well as adding a player to your shortlist, Gold Managers also have the option to add them to their Gold Shortlist.
There are two methods to remove a player from your shortlist. First, you can access your shortlist and click on one or more boxes under 'Remove' prior to clicking on the 'Remove' button. Second, by accessing his Player Profile, then clicking on 'Shortlist Player', and then clicking on ‘Remove from Shortlist’.
All of the players within your shortlist are displayed in chronological order of when they were added. However, in order to help you manage the players that you are interested in more easily, you can filter the display by clicking on any of the filters. For example if you clicked on 'Rat' it would display the players within your shortlist from the lowest to highest rating and if clicked again it would reverse the display.
