Managers can search for a player using the Search for Player by name button at the top right of many BBM pages. Enter the player's last name and the game will show if the player is in the free agent pool or on someone's team. If the player cannot be found, he is not currently available to be used in BBM. Player searches take a little extra time so be patient.
Note: If more than one player is found on the search, a list of all players will be shown.
