Sorry, I don't understand your point. The minimum base price is $20m and more for the listed players. $10m is the incrementals within first 8 hrs and it's $20m for last 3 hrs.

My point is that during the fag end of the draft when getting players for certain amount is going to be critical, the person who gets to nominate a player a player on the board for a base price (make the first bid that is) will have the edge over someone who is not online at that time and then does not have the funds to raise the bid. At that time difference between 30m and 40m is critical even if at the beginning it may not matter if you get someone for 100 or 110m.
I am assuming there is a upper limit on players on auction board which means spot will open up as players' bids are finalized.
You may have noticed that the starting $ amount is quite generous. Reason being, it is for full draft and no further funds will be provided for reinforcements, so plan ahead. Despite that, if you get stuck at end of R1 itself scraping the barrel with no funds to competitively bid, you have only yourself to blame.
Looks intriguing and novel compared to what we've done in the past.
What's the limit for players on the board?
Thank you for putting the time in @Edgar Allan Pillow. You’ve done a great job with the rules and player values; can’t really argue with any of them. This looks like it’s going to be a chaotic, stressful, bundle of fun. Can’t wait!
We could tear the list to shreds, but it's only a minimum bid list so the likelihood is that the price for Ronaldo will surge regardless.
No fixed number as yet, but I'm thinking 32. I'll moderate that in game and open it only during pre-announced timings and keeping it closed for the rest.
I know, i just pointed out Ronaldo one since he has been an absolute boss in these drafts in recent times. There is no CB pairing that voters would buy into keeping him quiet.
Bigger issue is that some of the values are prohibitively high. Makes no sense to spent 80m on someone like Costacurta.
It's intentional to discourage and push managers away from picking the usual suspects.
Transfer markets don't usually make sense. If VVD can go for 75m, Costacurta can go for 80m

Yeah I think it’ll make for some interesting strategies. It’s actually quite a strategic concept, keen to see how the managers approach things.
If the price of a player is low, then market forces will go into action anyway!
A lot of players in 80m bracket especially will never be sold. Looking at a lot of defenders there especially.
One thing I hope that won't happen for sure is the prices being lowered for listed players at later point. That will ruin the whole draft.
Yes that would indeed cause a few meltdowns. And rightfully so if it did happen (not that I expect it to).
When is this starting @Edgar Allan Pillow ?
One of the drawbacks in earlier drafts was people picking Di Stefano in reinforcement round for $10m due to lack of competition as they are picking to upgrade weak positions. This in theory will stop that.
Maybe. Take Puyol for 30m, 2 bids later he'd be same price as Blanc at 50m and people will switch. Again it's a short hop to Kohler or Cannavaro at 80m. I expect market driven prices to bring the 80/100m players into consideration. Let's see how this works.
Will never happen. If any, I may assign minimum values to popular players of losing team pool during reinforcements.
This looks bloody brilliant @Edgar Allan Pillow
Great job putting the list together
Great job putting the list together
Thanks for the answer, Edgar.
On players starting bid. I see that the player's worth would be naturally adjusted during the bidding. Even if you're starting Ronaldo at 100m, he'd end up much higher than 150m.
Question. Regarding the B3 and B4 rule. What does it mean by the 20m start at the final 3 hrs? As long as the bid is made within 12 hrs of the last bid, the bid time can be extended to unlimited time, though. So how do we know when to start this "final 3 hrs"?

Only God can judge me.
Yeah, sure
Let's say opening bid is at 1300 GMT
the last 3 hours with 12 hour deadline start at 2200 GMT, assuming no one bids between 1300 and 2200
But let's say someone bids a new amount at 1800 GMT then the last 3 hours start at 0300 GMT
Thanks, boss. Now that make sense.
Ok, if you insist, I'll do it.
This is going to be good!
One request @Edgar Allan Pillow can we use the time in England please. It's the time that the caf is set to and makes everything easier
It's CET. What do you want? GMT?
Yeah that's what everyone in England is on now no?
EDIT: That sounds more aggressive than I meant it to

Ah decent, I'm useless with time zones, but it would be better if it was on the Cafs native time as it ends all confusion.
Yep agree.
Ok. GMT it is.
Let the meltdown begin
Sure.
I think the min value brackets can be decreased a bit or the kitty can be increased slightly.
I like the values. Means it’s very unlikely someone will get two tier 1 GOAT and it also means there will 100% be meltdowns
