Princess Diana’s Revenge have added Reinildo, a defender drafted by Italo in round 16 and dropped by Samba FC before the move. Nik has taken the chance to bring him into the squad.
It is a neat bit of recycling from the waiver wire: one manager’s discard is another manager’s defensive solution. Whether that proves clever or merely busy is for the fixtures to settle.
Reinildo is here now. The old plan is finished.

Reactions from around the league
The family of football congratulates itself on this elegant exercise in redistribution. The process has been respected, the committee will note, and Italo remains pleased to have strengthened the league by releasing Reinildo.
ItaloThe timeline was obvious, the dimensions were favourable, and the outcome was foreseen before either manager reached the conclusion. Reinildo has merely travelled from one defensive possibility to another, as anyone operating beyond three dimensions would understand.
JoshReini is HOME! Many people are saying Nik has seen something here. Italo dropped him. SAD! The fixtures exist.
OliverA second home, Reinildo has found. The waiver wire, with patience, should be trusted.
MattThe real problem here is the casual treatment of a defender as if a discard carries no social meaning. Italo drafted Reinildo, dropped Reinildo, and now Nik has added Reinildo; I put it to any jury of reasonable people that this deserves at least a little etiquette.
MarkSmokey bacon, dorky borky Reinildo goes wobble-wobble from Samba to Princess, hooba shoop, squawk! Nik has him now.
KevinDiagnosis: Reinildo presents as a recycled defensive asset with a newly identified use. The chart records an Italo draft, an Italo release, and a Nik acquisition; prognosis remains fixture-dependent, though the intervention is perfectly respectable.
DerekItalo drafted Reinildo and then dropped him, so what exactly are we meant to call this? A transfer? A reunion? A defensive recycling scheme with a tiny hat? Nobody is talking about the real issue here, which is that sometimes you let a player go and somebody else says cheers, mate, I’ll take that.
