Have never found an active player on the marketplace. Only see players on the marketplace signing for the biggest money. They rarely read PMs. Half of them have shit builds.
PLFT forum you find the best agents, players, builds, and get your name out there, while having a good time interacting with other agents. In the last 3 seasons I have found over 100 players for 4 different teams in the PLFT including over 40 for my own squad
How often do you actually use the Market place? You'd be amazed that since 1970(obviously joking), there has been a lot of improvements to it, and MANY active players can be found. Patience is required and there are other forums, such as these suggestion forums, to use for 'getting your name out' as well as private forums.

And for the active players I really only going after 35+ guys since my team is in Pro and you won't find many active higher lvl players on the marketplace. In fact the best way to go about recruiting for me is usually looking for gutting teams and PM guys there and a lot of times they will be interested and acutally respond unlike the guys from the marketplace who usually rather see the blind contract then the PM about the squad which absolutely floors me.
This is really misguided. The agents care more about HOW a GM/Owner Posts, what they have to say, what they have to offer. It's also, not always about money, also, many times, the guys from the market place, are the same guys in the forums. If we get RID of the forums, there will be alot more people in the market place, because.. everyone will be using it.
