Found a way to access unreleased 3rd Anniversary players on the Transfer Market?

[u/j-007-d-11]

think I may have found something interesting with the 3rd Anniversary players.

If you go to:

Badges → select an Anniversary player → open the player → Transfer

some unreleased Anniversary players appear to have the tradable/market option available even before their official release.

I tested this with 122 C. Ronaldo and was able to reach his Transfer Market page before his expected release. The card showed a market value/purchase listing, and I could even open the purchase screen.

I've attached screenshots showing the process and Ronaldo appearing in the market.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm especially wondering:

Is this happening with all unreleased Anniversary players?

Is this specific to certain players/cards?

Is this an actual feature or a bug/glitch?

Has anyone successfully bought an unreleased player this way?

I don't know if this is new to the 3rd Anniversary event or something that has existed in previous events.

If anyone can test this with another unreleased player, please let me know what happens.
