@Enigma_87
 
Hmm if you spend 500m now that’s still just 100m for a potential three reinforcement rounds. I reckon people would just spend that in the first reinforcement before the quarters, as 100m is really only enough for one top calibre player (though still not enough for the very best) and people are also going to rightfully prioritise getting through the next round as opposed to saving their money.

There’s also just no benefit to saving your money. If you have 100m to spend before the quarters there’s no reason not to spend it in that reinforcement round. It’s not like you get a discount the longer you hang on to it. Same applies for the initial drafting to be honest, will be interesting to see how much gets carried over.

You are more likely to get players for base prize in reinforcements. You're also more likely to land your target due to lesser competition.

Reinforcing doesn't mean getting another top player. It's just upgrading your weakest. So yeah, not being able to afford more top players is how this is designed to work.

So yeah, a balance between having a strong R1 team vs saving money should be attained, else people are likely to end up in R2 with no further way ahead. I don't know how this'll work either. I doubt many will have money left...but let's see. Should be interesting. I'll tweak a bit later if necessary.

Please tweak now as we all need to know, will be unfair to the ones that will have cash later if you change something. Personally i dont care, counting on my mandatory first round exit + im certain i will spend it all now :lol:

Think the point was why would anyone save 100 million for a later round? There is no difference in spending it in initial drafting or later.
Also, the 600 mn kitty makes sure no one would have anything decent left in the kitties. Not even 20-30 based on what I am expecting.

yeah, feel the same. Especially considering how things are going now...
 
The only incentive for managers to save up is to have a small additional fund available during each reinforcement.
50 mn as I suggested earlier gives you a decent pick if you have nothing left, while it gives you a GOAT pick if you managed to save 50mn+ earlier. Which is an actual significant advantage.

Yeah I'd feel rather silly if I saved 100m for reinforcements only to go out in the first round

I'd argue that 20m or 40m would be better because that would require saving at least 10m to get that 50m bracket so makes it more strategic than just 50m

You could sell players back too at a discount. So should not be a problem reaching 50 for anyone.

Ah good point, we can always sell back the player we are replacing to free up some extra funds

In Hindsight, I wish I’d thought of this as not being an all time draft. You could pick one 100m player, and ten 50m players and not make it out of the first round.
 
edit: Ronaldo and Romario for 270! That's a great piece of business

Cheers mate. I've wanted to pair those two up for ages. It'll be a good incentive to watch some of those 1997 Brazil matches. feck knows how the rest of my team will look now that I've spunked half my budget on strikers though :nervous:

No upbid on Luis Ronaldo?

Surprisingly not. He better not suddenly become mortal in drafts right after ruining me in the Serie A Draft :mad:

Would be a great match up if you and Arbitrium go head to head in R1 :lol:
