AFL Free Agents: Your Conference, Your Board
The free agent page now opens straight onto YOUR conference — every player listed is someone your team can actually add — with an AL/NL switcher in the header for scouting across the aisle. No more squinting at a guy the other conference already rosters.
The Full Story
The AFL runs two of everything — two conferences, two pennant races, and yes, two copies of every NFL player. Which made the old free agent page a bit of a bazaar: an American League owner would scroll past a shiny available tight end only to discover he was available in the National League. Technically true. Practically useless. The beat desk heard about it.
So the page now respects the aisle. Sign in and it opens on your conference — every name on the board is a player your team can genuinely add, and the counts, position pills, and the spotlight up top all agree with that math. A new switcher in the header flips the whole view to the other conference whenever you feel like scouting the neighbors, and the choice sticks in the URL so you can send a link that opens exactly where you left it.
Cross-conference intel didn't disappear — it just learned some manners. Tick Include rostered and players held in your conference show up dimmed, with an FA in NL (or AL) tag when the other side can still grab them. Combined with the live roster feed that landed alongside this — moves hit the page within about a minute of happening on MFL — the board finally answers the only question that matters: who can I add, right now?
