Depending on league settings, an accepted trade processes instantly, needs admin approval, or can be vetoed if 50% or more of the other managers object. Accepting a trade invalidates any other pending offers involving the same players."},{question:"When is the FPL Draft trade deadline?",answer:"Trade offers can be made each gameweek up to the waiver deadline (24 hours before the gameweek deadline). In leagues with an approval setting, the effective deadline is 24 hours before the waiver deadline, so objections can be raised in time — if none are by then, the trade goes through."},{question:"Can trades be vetoed in FPL Draft?",answer:"Only if the league was created with an approval setting. Under Manager approval, a trade is blocked when 50% or more of the other managers object. Under Administrator approval, the league admin decides alone. Under All trades, accepted deals process instantly with no veto. The setting is fixed once the draft has happened."},{question:"How do I know if an FPL Draft trade is fair?",answer:"Compare rest-of-season expected points rather than reputation or past price tags. A fair trade improves both squads by addressing different needs — points totals alone miss positional scarcity, fixture runs and double gameweeks.
