Mercato Kings & Queens 2025: Minimal Changes, High Expectations
The Kings League, known for its unmatched spectacle, kicks off its 2025 Mercato with a refreshed format that stays true to its core. After much speculation, Gerard Piqué’s league retains the essence of its transfer market with three days of action split between the Kings and Queens Leagues, albeit with slight scheduling adjustments.
Mercato Schedule and Key Details
Day 1 (20/01) is dedicated exclusively to the Kings League, with two primary windows:
- Window 1: Buyouts (1 per team).
- Window 2: 60 minutes of unlimited negotiations for player trades, draft picks, and money.
Day 2 (23/01) focuses on the Queens League, following the same structure as Day 1, providing teams with opportunities to engage in buyouts and intense market negotiations.
Finally, Day 3 (27/01) is a joint session for both leagues, including:
- Window 3: Buyouts (1 per team).
- Window 4: 60 minutes of unlimited negotiations.
- Window 5: Additional buyouts for teams with fewer than 9 draft players on their roster.
Last-Minute Surprises
While everything seems set, Gerard Piqué has hinted at potential last-minute rule changes. This could alter team strategies and dynamics, leading to unexpected market moves.
Among the hottest rumors are potential mass buyouts impacting teams like Porcinos and Ultimate Móstoles, as well as a possible trade between El Barrio and Ultimate Móstoles involving Ubon and Gilles Vidal.
Will this be the most surprising mercato in Kings League history? Time will tell.
