I bought a player who ended up being injured. Will SCS automatically undo my trade?

What are the factors that make a player's price change?
The Salary Cap Sports Player Price Market is a feature whereby salaries go up and down based on total trade activity, similar to the stock market. If a player is bought much more than he is sold then his price goes up. If a player is sold more than he is bought then his price drops.
When do price updates happen?

- All other sports - Price changes will be calculated every day at 3:00am EST starting on day 2 of the season.
When are new players made available (IPO's)?
New players will be added to SCS when it becomes apparent they are going to play in their first game. They will be added to the game at a time that makes it fair for everyone, i.e. early in the morning, while trading is still frozen. All IPO's will be announced on your Home page.
Does my roster need to be full to collect points?
No, your team can receive points even if your roster is not full.
