That and if they decide to bid for a player that someone else has already bid on, it draws them back into bidding.
Infact I really thing the 12 hour thing I suggested was prefect .. you will have something like going on in middle of the round
Pippa- Raul (30m)
Annah - Henry (50m, 8 am GMT)
Crappy - Messi (70m, 1 pm GMT )
Aldo- Ruud (40m)
Some one comes in at 4 pm GMT and out bids me for Messi , so it is
Pippa- Raul (30m)
Annah - Henry (50m, 8 am GMT)
trippy - Messi (71m, 4 pm GMT )
Aldo- Ruud (40m)
Bolded means bought
If by 8 pm GMT no one bids on Henry, Annah gets him and by 4 am no one bids for Messi , the other person gets him

How about a 36 hour deadline, and if managers are in a bid-war over a player at the end - they get to make a blind bid on the player. The loser gets to pick up only from the remaining options?
That would force people to actually push bids as if they are in a bid-war at the end they get slightly punished.
This means everybody would be prone to making faster bids and raise with more to avoid getting brought in to a blind bid which if you lose you are pretty punished. You will be picking up Fellaini instead of Iniesta.
Read my latest post.. i think it is the best system
By the way it has to be said, but the winning managers will most likely be the ones who avoid these hypothetical situations we are talking about. Going in to a bid war at the final hours is going to be incredibly ballsy rather than raising fast and if you realize someone wants the player more you move on.
Some one may do it for tactical purposes so as to now show their hand early. That happens a lot in bidding wars. Two people keep raising each other and then someone swoops in the end to make a higher bid when someone is about to get him. Mentally it hurts the party that was bidding since the beginning
That is no problems though? It is part of an auction. Even if two people have a bid-war on something a third party may come in at all times.
As long as everybody knows that going the distance and fighting until the end over a player is punished with high risk if you don't win the bid. It will mean that everybody tries to get the players they want as soon as possible and instead of making 1 mill bid raises they actually make real ones.
Messi should look like: 50m, 55m, 70m, 75m, 80m, 110m. So a deadline bid raise will be very rare considering the fact that even if you are just here three times in the 36 hours you can raise with so much.
Looks good to me. There's still the situation about when and how Messi's never-ending bidding process must be sorted out, though.
There's no "pool", right? So I can come up with literally unknown footballers and bid for them, hypothetically speaking?
The never ending bidding would not happen, worst case it may drag on for two days
For starters since minimum cost for a player is 10m, no one can buy a player for more than 190 m .. realistically it would be something around 120m or so I would guess
I agree actually. Considering the fact that managers who are less active will make bigger bid raises it will end very early.
Agreed.
Try it out for a round.. if it drags.. we can try the deadline one
Sure thing.
Yes mate. Any player you want, the only issue would be his position. It should be his key/main position rather than abusing the fact that he could play plenty positions. So send the player in the the admins and get him approved.
I'm still a bit lost..
Are we bidding by positions?
Are we to submit all 12 bids on day 1? and then keep hiking it up to grab who want?
How does the 12 hour period work?
Can you work out a example for better understanding?

No
Let's say first round is forwards
You just make bids for forwards you want - for example
crappy - Batigol (30m)
Annah- Romario (40m), Baggio (30m)
..
when that round is over we move on to the next position everyone selects
The 60s is out from the last one so it won't have a lot of draft supermen (like Baresi, Maldini, Romario, Matthaus, etc).
I was liking the all time European one, though up to Annah and Pol of what the final timeline would be. I'm fine with this one as well.
Yeah 8-12 hours just like the time limit we have in regular drafts should be okay.
I suggest that you and Pol reserve the final right on deciding a player's position and whether he should be allowed in a particular round or not.
I don't anyone will abuse the rules or anything but it is better to be prepared in case of a dispute. There are several versatile players and some can cause a dispute. For example Gerrard's peak according to some is CM, according to some is AM and according to some is RW. etc..
I don't think we should be penalized for picking a versatile player. As long as the position is one the player did play in, and the managers as a whole agree, I think it's fair? Other managers can still outbid, and it actually is penalised in the next round because if you get a player who plays best at CM and intend to play him at AM, you need to then get a CM in the AM draft round.
This is incredibly long to read 
@Annahnomoss when you decide the final rules can you make another post with all the rules?

I'm not in favour of positions picking. I start with 4-4-2 and in last round find strikers priced out. Rather than forced into cheaper and not good strikers, I want flexibility to pick a better defender or midfielder fitting into a different formation.
Is the 12th round free for all positions?

You can pick more players where you want to. So during the draft you can pick up your substitute where you think it gives you most flexibility or say you want Ole Gunnar as a pure super-sub then you go with that.
There won't be 11 rounds, but rather one round per position. In the midfield round you'll pick all the midfielders you want to complete your team.
GK's
Full-backs
CB's
Cm's
Wingers
AM's
Strikers
So when does it start
I personally agree with EAP about the position rounds, but if I trust you made the research and happy to try whatever
I don't really get the position thing either. It just makes it almost impossible to switch between formations in the end depending on the budget and players available. At least add a round in the end, where every position is available, so that you can get creative. If not, we probably see only 4231/443 teams, because that's clearly the easiest way to draft.
There really isn't any issues with it. You want to pick up players who are capable in plenty positions so you get a tactical freedom.
The only difference in this draft is that your substitute will be highly valuable to you. He will cost you 10 mill, but you will almost certainly pay exactly the same for at least 2 more players in the team.
Sammer(CB/Libero/DM)
Lahm(RB/LB/DM)
That is all you really need to have plenty of tactical options for your team. There is no excuse really for not picking up those dynamic players if you want to.
Of course if you pick up specialized players you are often more likely to get an edge - so it is all a trade off. There is no right/wrong.
But all you really need is 1 starter who is capable of plenty positions and one bench alternative who can do a great job in the positions he can play.

Should we try and make a start and see how we get on?
Yeah even though I didn't prefer it at first it provides a different kind of challenge so looking forward to it.
Yeah, I would like to start ASAP, but with what position?
The issue is Polaroid who has been inactive for quite some time now. I've not had a response either in PM's.
I think we are pretty set with the rules, and all you guys are great coming up with ideas on solutions. So if we run in to a problem I am fairly sure we will all come up with a solution of it.
We can vote for which position to start the draft off with.
1. Goalkeepers(Annah)
2. Centre backs
3. Full-backs
4. Central midfielders(kss88)
5. Wingers(Pippa)
6. Central attacking midfielders
7. Strikers

I say wingers.
I'd prefer starting with attacking players. Strikers/AMs/Wingers.
Go for one!
Don't care
