Ebbsfleet have released all of their players that are out of contract at the end of this season.
That means the likes of Chris Bush, Dave Winfield, Sam Magri and Andy Drury have all played their last games for the Fleet.
They officially leave the club at the end of June, when their contracts expire.
The Fleet still have seven players under contract for next season - and three additional players have clauses that have been triggered, meaning they could also stay at the club.
The seven players under contract still for 2019/20 are Ebou Adams, Nathan Ashmore, Michael Cheek, Jack King, Sean Shields, Corey Whitely and Lawrie Wilson.
Danny Kedwell, Jack Payne and Myles Weston are the three players who the club are now obliged to offer a deal to for the coming campaign.
Back-up keeper Jon Miles, Freddy Moncur and Bagasan Graham have also left Ebbsfleet.
The news of the list comes just 24 hours after manager Garry Hill held talks with the club's owner Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi.
Club captain Winfield took to Twitter to issue a heartfelt thank you to Ebbsfleet's supporters.
He wrote: "I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the fans for their support through my time at the football club.
"I am sad and frustrated with the way I have been told I will not be offered a new contract by the club that I have worked tirelessly for to accomplish what I thought was a shared dream.
"It’s been my pleasure to captain the various players over my time and, hand on heart, have never worked with a more passionate, driven and dignified group in my entire career.
"I hope for your sake you get your club back and go on to achieve above and beyond the history that was created for you.
"It was a pleasure to be involved in creating those memories I know you all hold so dearly."
