We update player team listings once per day, generally overnight. So on the day a player is traded, they may still be listed under their old team in the draft screen.
Because contests are created up to a week in advance, a traded player may not be available in a contest that includes their new team, but not their old team. Similarly, a traded player may appear in the draft screen but be listed as unavailable for a contest that includes their old team, but not their new team.
What if a player in my lineup has been traded to a new team that’s not in the contest?
If you have a player in your lineup that has been traded to a new team that is not included in that contest, you will receive zero points for that player. However, you can always edit your lineup before the official start of the contest and replace traded players.
What if a player is traded to another team that’s in the same contest?
If a player is traded to a new team that’s included in the same contest as their old team, points will still be awarded for their performance. These points may not be reflected accurately during live scoring, but they will be counted when the contest is settled. In such a case, contest settlement may be delayed in order to ensure accuracy.
