ALGS Pro League Transfer Window

How team captains add and remove players from their Pro League lineup during a transfer window

While a transfer window is open, the team Captain can add or remove players from the team's official Pro League event lineup. Outside of a transfer window, lineup changes are not available.

Check if a transfer window is open

On your team's Dashboard, under Event Lineups, select the Pro League event from the dropdown. If a window is open, you'll see "Transfer window is open" along with how many additions you have left and the dates removals and additions close.

Removals and additions close on different dates — check both before you plan a change.

Open the lineup editor

Click Edit Lineup. This opens the Pro League Lineup screen, showing who is currently In the Lineup and who on the roster is Not in the Lineup and eligible to be added.
(Only players already in your team's Roster Pool can be added to a lineup — invite them to the Roster Pool first from Team Info and Members if they're not listed here.)

Add a Player/Coach

Find the player under Not in the Lineup and click Add to Lineup. They move up into the In the Lineup section, and the Request Changes button becomes active.

Remove a Player/Coach

To remove someone instead, find them under In the Lineup and click Remove from Lineup. The same Request Changes step below applies to removals.

Submit the change

Once the lineup looks right, click Request Changes. Read the notice, then click Send for Approval. ALGS reviews every roster change request. If approved, the change is automatically shown publicly — do not submit if you want to keep it private.

While the request is pending

Captain can reopen Edit Lineup and they will see a Cancel Request banner showing who requested the change and when. No further lineup changes are allowed until ALGS approves it.

If the team captain requests the change, it will look like this for the user being removed.

Player/Coach Removal Request

Player or Coach can click Leave Lineup and they will be asked to confirm their request after which they will see a Cancel Request banner. No further lineup changes are allowed until ALGS approves/rejects this request.

Good to know

  • The team Captain can submit a roster change request.

  • A Player & Coach both have the ability to submit a roster change request.

  • Additions and removals each have their own close date.

  • A player must already be in the team's Roster Pool before they can be added to a lineup.

  • Only one request can be pending at a time, however, multiple requests can be made when submitting the request. i.e. moving a Coach to Player and adding or removing a Player from the lineup. Submit, then wait for ALGS to act on it (or cancel it yourself) before submitting another.
