Auction-Trade Madness Draft

PS: if anyone wants Pele off us, we're looking to sell.
On a side note, I'm pretty chuffed with the Pelé pick because Auction is pretty much the only format where I have the chance to pick an überGOAT - after languishing in the mid to lower tiers in unrestricted All-Time snakes - usually, not high enough to get the crème de la crème. Same goes for @Raees, as far as I can tell. :lol:
Grown tired of him already? :lol:
 
Sometimes it's hard to be a draft man
Giving 90m of your budget to just one Stam.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a Dutch man
Stand by your Stam,
Give him two wing backs to cling to,
And some vaseline for his hair-do
When match days are cold and lonely
Stand by your Stam,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your Stam
Stand by your Stam,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your Stam

I’m more concerned about your lack of loyalty towards that beautiful beast of a man/lover/player.

On a serious note there’s no point playing him next to Vidic as they’re both similar in skillset.

I can’t break up Sammer Kohler, so Stam has to go.
 
Grown tired of him already? :lol:

He's making the rest look like mugs during training which has caused disharmony in the camp - so he's got to go.

Seriously guys any bids for any of our players as we will sell to the bank in like an hour, this is your final warning.
 
On a serious note, is there a limit to how many players we can put up for transfer. We generally want to consider any offers for any of our players (as long as it is a cash only deal).

6 Hour deadline for this all you can eat buffet.

@Edgar Allan Pillow

Will the rule stand throughout the draft that if you purchase a player off another manager, it has to be for more than that manager paid?

Fecking hell, man :lol::lol:
 
Loving the mind games. I have no plans to sell either of them as Neymar, Suarez and Messi were a great trio on the pitch. Just because Neymar wanted centre stage, it doesn’t mean he didn’t play well with Messi.

It’s just my sarcastic nature shining through ;)

So long as there’s no instances where a manager wins a player for 10m over base price, then decides they don’t want them and the bank buys them back for base price.

Nah, base price for me should be the bare minimum.

I'd be ok with base price but not at a loss.

If we agree that you can take a player off a manager for the base price then if someone takes lahm I’d hope I’d get an extra 20m.

Only the bank can buy back at base prize. Nobody can trade below that ever. If you are selling it to another manager it has to be minimum $10m above base prize.

E.g.

Best (200m purchase prize)
- Can sell to bank at 150m (base prize)
- Can sell to another player at 160m or greater depends on how you negotiate.

Trade at Loss - Clarification

- Can sell to bank at 150m (base prize)

if the player is already bought at base prize, bank will buy back at discount. Check OP for indicative discounts. No trades for less than base prize. You can trade for no profit, no loss, but bank will levy a $10m violation penalty. So

E.g.
Nesta (120m base and purchase prize)
- Can sell to bank at 100m (incurring a 20m discount loss)
- Can sell to another player at 120m (incur a 10m penalty loss to bank). Cannot trade for less than base prize.
 
Best (200m purchase prize)
- Can sell to bank at 150m (base prize)
- Can sell to another player at 160m or greater depends on how you negotiate.

This is a bullshit change.
If that means you could get 3 players from the 50 mn bracket, its an awesome deal and a clear advantage at this stage.

Or if that was their plan they could have not spent it originally and got 4
 
If I had Pele for 170 or Cryuff for 160, I'd gladly sell and take the 10 or 20 million loss.

Then why would you have bought them for that instead of keeping hold of your money

Not really. At the start, there was competition with bids being raised. Now its not possible for most unless you sell a top tier player.

Its not even a change, in fact that is probably the one rule.. we all knew about from day 1. Unless you mean Best was listed as 120m and now his base price has become 150m instead.

You can't sell a player to the bank at base price. That was the rule from day one.

Now you can sell them for base price. How is that not a rule change? Or am I missing something?

It favours folk who’ve gone a bit gung ho with their bids. But they’d still lose out really.

Ah, now I get what you are saying.

Right so if you're buying Best for 200m, his discounted base price should be 100m. That is what you are arguing right..

I get what you are saying, but that person has still made a loss of 80m, if they were to be discounted back down to say 120m (base price).

Plus the rules did say, only base price bought players will be sold at discount from base price.

Lol, why do people keep taking Best's example.

Pele and Cryuff get you 150 mn with a loss of 10/20 million.
How that is not a huge advantage at this point is just ridiculous.

Who else could raise your 50 million bids now? No one.
