Souness > Blanchflower.
@crappycraperson will the 1 player only nomination be relaxed in subsequent rounds? For example if I just need a 10m player and someone else bids on him, I don't have much choice.
He's talking about price wise...
Meh, Sou just costs 56m. Danny already passed him and bidding is not over yet.
Welcome aboard Jimmy. Speaking of which, did anyone play Saint & Greavsie on the old Atari ST/Amiga?
I think Annah did similar in the last auction, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets for 210m iirc. Worked out ok, didn't he win that draft?
Thought it was worthwhile getting that bid in early so it wouldn't be long before the minimum raise became 35 and then ultimately 40. Aware obviously that in the last auction draft there were plenty of top strikers getting grabbed for 10-15m, but equally paying 30m for the standout goalscorer in the draft is good business (relative to Law and Charles IMO).
Means he can only spend 10m each on remaining 9 players required. He did the same in first auction draft and was close to winning the whole thing.This is getting exciting between annah and crappy. Annah would have spent 210m on 3 players if this bid goes through
He lost to MJJ in semis, who had a United heavy team and tiki taka had just taken a battering with Real mauling Bayern. Otherwise he did seem set to win the whole thing indeed.
This looks great! Shame I am going away for work =[.
Great strategy then. Just curious though, say hypothetically that you don't have enough cash for the last 2 snake rounds but your team isn't complete. Do you get the last spot on the snake rounds or what happens?
Ah yes indeed, that was it. I had thought the way it was going he was gonna be unbeatable. That Bayern V Real match was terrible timing
I apologized per PM to crappy! Just happens to be that we rate the same players in this draft. He gave me Stanley>I couldn't bid on Best until that bid was gone>I bid on Best=I couldn't bid on Blanch until Best was gone.
I feel really shit for it though to be frank even if I know it is nothing personal. Was the same in the last draft where whoever wanted the Barca trio - well I would inevitably overpay massively for them.

I'm really interested to see what @MJJ does with Dalglish and Charlton.
I imagine he'll play them both.
Would imagine so, yes. Snake is snake - no cash required. As I read it anyway. You can use your cash to move up in the draft order - but it's not necessary to spend anything.
That's good to know.
I already explained this you need 10m to enter the snake round.. each time.. that is 20m for two of them minimum.
Or you can use 300m to buy 12 players in auction
Only will be shafted out wide which will not please many
Indeed. As you mentioned yourself - I believe - earlier, the trouble with King K is that he's somewhat limited in terms of what his best position is. And his best position means that he - sort of - gets in Charlton's way a little too much for my liking.
At least if he intends to use Charlton in what I personally think is his best role.
Wrong
Yeah it could go all a bit pear shaped...we'll see what happens.
No, I think it is 10m to participate in snake draft. Else it would be 300m for 10 players and that's not what crappy said (I asked this earlier)
Only the Mathews bit ruined it for me, with him selling before Best. Shame
What would happen if someone, lets say, @Annahnomoss , splunks all his money before the snake draft rounds and hasn't gotten all his players yet?
He will be disqualified and someone will get a walk over.
Edit- ideally it should not even reach that stage since any bids that take over his budget over 300m will be disqualified. If he gets a 5m fine, then he will lose one of his 10m+ player, which will be thrown back to the auction pool
Maybe a Christmas tree formation with Dalglish and Charlton behind a lone striker?
Aha. Alright. But if I pay for it I can get first pick in the snake draft, right - that still stands?
Everyone (who wants in) pays ten for entrance - X pays twenty and I pay thirty. That means I go first, X second - and there's a draw to determine the order for the rest of 'em. This is correct - yes?

Isn't that the same as overbidding which has a 5m penalty?
It would be known when he overbids initially. Ideally that player should be sent back to pool with $0 and bidding to start again.
Read above. I corrected it
Appreciate if you could clarify on the relaxation of 1 player nomination rules in later stages. As in example above if manager A just needs 9x10m players, then he should be able to nominate one more 10m player.
I feel that would be worse, trying to squeeze them both in a similar space, to drift wide. Maybe it would work...could just be my negativity
We will see how it rolls out.. the way the numbers are.. we will have a lot of unsold players in later rounds.. so getting a 10m player should not be a challenge
The unsold ones will start piling up soon enough, no doubt. And the further out in the draft we get, the less money around in general, hence less competition even for a 10m bid.
Yeap, Annah for example is already out of running for major bids.. someone like MJJ is unlikely to get into big bids as well
Welcome aboard Jimmy. Speaking of which, did anyone play Saint & Greavsie on the old Atari ST/Amiga?
Hehe, missed this.
Aye, I played it. There was another one too - sort of a FM precursor, can't remember the name now. King Kenny was the big player on it, I recall - the most expensive one.
Might have been on the C64, now that I think about it.

This is getting exciting between annah and crappy. Annah would have spent 210m on 3 players if this bid goes through
He would literally have to get the rest of his team for 10M a pop, not that it matters: Blanchflower with Matthews and Best on the wings? I could play and you wouldn't notice.
