Honestly, FM does this sort of thing fairly well, if you ever tinkered with that game during your collaboration with SI, Markus.

You could do proper Fall, Winter, and even WBC leagues without a whole lot more fuss if you created a field to represent a player's loan team. The player remains under contract with his original team, but shows up on roster of the loan team for the remainder of the loan (or simply the remainder of the loan team's season, more likely), after which he is returned to the roster of team whose contract he is under.

Then, you'd just need prompts either from the players or for each team at the start of each Fall/Winter/WBCish league to approve of the loan move.

I really like this idea.
