[Chesterlestreet]

Just testing something, gents, don't mind me. @Chesterlestreet

 

[Stobzilla]

This is all rather confusing, @crappycraperson needs to set some rules regarding the nominations, how many are allowed by each manager and when they'll be added to the list.


If I'm not mistaken you can nominate only one. There were a few exceptions this round like Gio and Chesterle because they didn't get to nominate anyone in the first round. I could be wrong though, but if every manager adds 2, then the 15 players for each round rule doesn't really work.

@Stobzilla Same goes for you, either wait for crappy to make a call here or just add one of the two, you sent me in the PM, to the list like EAP did with Nobby Stiles.

Well one of mine is already in the bidding now so go with the other one.

I did update it, didn't get quoted!

 

[Chesterlestreet]

On stupid bloody phone, so cannot update list, but Increase bid on Wright to 30m. @Raees

 

[antohan]

John Charles looking decent value compared to some of the others. World class in 2 positions also which is useful

Not just that but him beiing Welsh. I can see the markup on Best and Keane, but the moment they aren't United players the "non English" markup seems to be completely absent.

 

[antohan]

The number of quality fullbacks is also a bit limited, if I'm not mistaken.

Most drafts eventually boils down to that: what positions are troublesome? Get the odd ones who work, and the ones who will exploit that weakness in the rival, everything else is much of a muchness.

 

[Balu]

Well one of mine is already in the bidding now so go with the other one.

Just add him yourself like everyone else is doing with their nominations .

[antohan]

I really enjoying this, its the first time I've ever followed one of these, never really looked into them much in the past. I'm sure you gain serious knowledge thoughout it. Looking forward to seeing how it all pans out!

TBH, the one thing I hate about the auction format is the quality of discussion, the whole thread is a contant update of bids + people complaining their bid wasn't included in the last post, etc. Sure, still works for those participating and doing their own research and planning, but as an outsider you really want to check out the snake drafts.

I don't think they actually are slower, they just don't let everyone do something whenever they want and it gets on some people's tits, but it affords the spare waiting time to discuss recent picks, etc.

I don't think they actually are slower, they just don't let everyone do something whenever they want and it gets on some people's tits, but it affords the spare waiting time to discuss recent picks, etc.

The discussion about previous picks is definitely at its best in a snake draft. But it is the draft which has the most risk of being a complete bore as well if people are too inactive. In an auction the "time per action" is very fast, in a snake draft you can have end up waiting 40 hours - make a pick in one minute - then wait another 40 hours.

I like both concepts, waiting for that Stanley bid to finalize was as nerve wrecking as the best moments in a snake draft when you see a peak somehow slipping through to you and getting closer and closer. I think the three - Snake-Sheep-Auction complements each other perfectly though.

Do we have control on who has nominated who?

(Do we really care? I don't, but then I'm an immoral sort of man.)

Idea is that people don't throw in more than one, I think. Apart from Gio and me - 'cause we're better looking than the rest of you vagabonds.

Then you can nominate two as well. But not until you've proven your beauty by sending me a check - and a picture. Of your mother.

TBH, the one thing I hate about the auction format is the quality of discussion, the whole thread is a contant update of bids + people complaining their bid wasn't included in the last post, etc. Sure, still works for those participating and doing their own research and planning, but as an outsider you really want to check out the snake drafts.

I don't think they actually are slower, they just don't let everyone do something whenever they want and it gets on some people's tits, but it affords the spare waiting time to discuss recent picks, etc.

Oh yea but you still get to learn a bit, also I like comparing the prices that some of the players are going for with my own valuations.

So, what are your valuations for the sold players? Who overpaid and who the best deal?

 

[Jammydodger7]

I would say Keane is the most overpriced, Scholes maybe too, especially if you take into account that Bobby Charlton went for 1 Million less, and maybe Dave Mackay but I don't really know much about him to be honest, which is probably part of the problem.

The best deal overall I would say was Law. 58 is a great price for him, I'd probably of had him in the high 60's. The rest I think are fairly fair prices.

But overall I would say Skizzo definitely got the best deal so far!

On phone now so can someone raise the Irwin bid to 40 mil and place a bid for Johnstone of £30 mil

Thank you.

I didn't bid on Stiles ?

The discussion about previous picks is definitely at its best in a snake draft. But it is the draft which has the most risk of being a complete bore as well if people are too inactive. In an auction the "time per action" is very fast, in a snake draft you can have end up waiting 40 hours - make a pick in one minute - then wait another 40 hours.

I like both concepts, waiting for that Stanley bid to finalize was as nerve wrecking as the best moments in a snake draft when you see a peak somehow slipping through to you and getting closer and closer. I think the three - Snake-Sheep-Auction complements each other perfectly though.

Sheep is awesome, the mindgames! "Poisoned chalice" and somehow Balu worked out that was Totti so didn't go for him

All sorts of combos work well without having to go with the snake, but I really don't like this format. I understand it must be completely different being involved in it, but as an outsider it just does my head in.
