Pretty sure I messed up the time zone / period. What are we using? I just put GMT
We're using British Summer Time which is one hour on from GMT.

why keep bidding though? You made your own bed as they say...

If you don't want the pack you win you can sell it back to the bank at a discounted rate as per the rules.
The whole point of the loot box is that it's a gamble in the end. And if you get a Maradona or a Beckenbauer the 100m spent is great value in the grand scheme of things, as in previous drafts the 100m were their starting prices for these players.Point taken to an extent, but if we have to end up with a box anyway then we basically have to keep bidding to a) have any choice whatsoever as to who we end up with and more importantly b) stop the next guy from getting a box for 30-40 less and having a big advantage in the auction proper.
Ah, that changes things a bit. Do we still have that option after we find out what player we get from our winning box?
100% don't change it now as everything that's happened so far will have changed people's plans.

And no one will get a box for 30-40m less, the rules state the box will revert to the bid it was before the winning bid (I put this in specifically to stop what you are worried about in point B) .
And yes you can sell back any player you win but keep in mind the fee.
Think it would be better to refrain from scattergun bids on multiple packs at this stage. I used to do them myself at the beginning, but realized they only make several managers "homeless" who then have to outbid you and those with lower bids again. So you'll lose these packs anyway, and the result will be the same as before, only at a higher price level.15/Apr - 10:58 - Pack 2 Cristiano / Scirea / Iniesta - Enigma - 110m
15/Apr - 10:58 - Pack 6 Messi / Thuram / Gento - Enigma - 100m
15/Apr - 10:58 - Pack 7 Van Basten / Xavi / Zanetti - Enigma- 100m
15/Apr - 10:58 - Pack 1 Pelé / Passarella / Neeskens - Enigma- 100m
There is also the trade option too, so make sure you make some friendsFair do's lads. I'll shut up about it now.
I think so too. I think the previous auction the uber goats went for way more than 100m.everyone should stop bitching around, everything goes as it should. What did you expect, to pick up Diego for 70M? You get a GOAT or a positional GOAT, anything below 100M would be moronic.
Hmm, that one has dropped off the list by mistake.Did somebody win the Pele pack already?
Tbh my plan so far is as scattered as my bids as I’m getting used to the rules and picks so farThink it would be better to refrain from scattergun bids on multiple packs at this stage.

Logically, with 14 packs and 14 managers, the only way bids can succeed is when every manager is settled on one pack and has no incentive to hijack other bids. The whole thing needs to settle down at some point.
pretty sure that's not valid:
LB.6) Total bid values cannot be higher than available funds.
14*50 equals 700, so he could.For 1st round only no constraints apparently
Synco put 50 on all the 14 packs at the beginning
14*50 equals 700, so he could.
The excerpt is from the loot box round, which I think equals first round?
Think you'd automatically get the last remaining pack for a set price (= the second to last bid)What happens if we don’t have a pool?
@GodShaveTheQueen
You need to re-submit based on the right time.
During final 3 hrs of the bid, up bids of minimum 20m only.
