Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

[MJJ]

Well once the bidding starts it is market decided anyway

Not really for example garrincha at 150m might be above the market price.

 

[Ecstatic]

My suggestion is: no constraints at all.

BUT you don't have the right to have in the starting 11 more than 2 mega stars (say blocked list in current draft), 3 super stars (current super stars list).

Something like that.

Fixed starting price.

@Indnyc I think tiers are good as we've seen so many times managers grabbing a GOAT in SF or Finals for base price, because opponent needs reinforcing in a different position. Also having starting bids ensures no all GOAT teams. Keep it as it is.

This is the only one admissible argument.

I agree with the others - fixed prices for all those above 50 m makes it a bit boring in terms of bidding. Maybe put lower fixed prices - thus we will have a bigger bidding wars and generally more intense process.

I wouldn't put active bid limit though. Nominations yes but not limit your active bids for the very same reason.

Why?

I think an auction draft with a similar blocklist like Don Alfredo's will have more active bidding wars.

No blocks. You should be free to pick whoever you want within the budget constraints

I say remove the tiers, let the market decide!

I agree that it's a bit weird. I would understand 2 tiers, for example (with low estimates — like 50 and 20), so that the likes of Di Stefano won't go for absolute peanuts, but this detailed pre-trade system takes a lot of fun out of auction. You have to be able to make a few bargains/steals, which is pretty much impossible in this format.

The reason for the tiers is to ensure someone like Di Stefano isn't available for cheap. You can get bargains at the lower end of the scale.. Majority of players are available for 30m to 50m

I can consider to reduce the prices further to make it a more active bidding process. Say for example keep the GOATs starting at 120m instead of 150m

I'm not against a limited block list: say Pele, Maradona, Di Stefano.. 10 players maximum.

We belong to the same camp: deregulated and fun auction draft.

A maximum of 5 active bids per managers would be great.

12 hours to secure a deal and make the process more long?

Decent sheep allocated to somebody who hasn't respected the financial constraints (budgets) and # of players --- a decent sheep is somebody like Thomas Meunier.

#Liberalism #Freedom of movement #no constraints

2 active nominations per manager to start so it is easier to manage the list. Unlimited number of bids on the existing nominations

I am actively trying to ensure there are more bids.

I agree with the others - fixed prices for all those above 50 m makes it a bit boring in terms of bidding. Maybe put lower fixed prices - thus we will have a bigger bidding wars and generally more intense process.

We need to have fixed prices otherwise the reinforcement rounds lose value. I will look into reducing the player prices a bit more to make the auction process fun

Yeah. Two issues I see with a fully unregulated auction - one is getting GOATs on the cheap based on a lack of competition within the market which happens in the reinforcement rounds. And the second is incentivising managers to bid rather than hold out forever waiting for everyone else to blow their budgets. As long as those two situations are covered within the rules, I don't see much added value from being over prescriptive with prices for all players.

I am deregulating it further by making the prices cheaper with the same budget. It should encourage more bids

Will introduce 2 additional rules

a) Within a 24 hour period, you should have 2 active nominations and at least 1 bid on the board else you are docked 10m

b) The reinforcement prices will be the final traded prices rather than base price. This should ensure GOATS are not available for cheap

Those are good suggestions.

I'd probably have trading player as a base value or even at a 10m loss to encourage trading between managers. We had many auction drafts and rarely see a trade between managers which is a shame.

 

[P-Nut]

Could bring in the tier prices just for the reinforcements. Means we have the crazy bidding wars early on, but still allows for bargains. Also prevents the scenario of picking up GOATs in reinforcements for 20m

Seconded. +10 rule is supposed to get rid of sneaky alliances but with @Tuppet gone I would be incline to trust the drafters not to do it without any additional help. While the auction will only win from the situation where someone buys Maradona for 250 millions, discovers at the very end that he doesn't have enough money to complete his team and is forced to part with Diego for, say, 100 mil that some cautious drafter saved for a rainy day.

 

[Indnyc]

Those are good suggestions.

R.5) Within a 24 hour period, you should have 2 active nominations and at least 1 bid on the board else you are docked 10m

Wait, just seeing this. What is this for?

 

[Enigma_87]

To encourage bidding and not just wait for the bargains when everybody blows his budget.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

To encourage bidding and not just wait for the bargains when everybody blows his budget.

That sucks

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

So going all out early and then to wait is not a permissible strategy? @Indnyc that rules influences strategy. Agree with intent, but people should have freedom to use different strategies.

 

[Indnyc]

So going all out early and then to wait is not a permissible strategy? @Indnyc that rules influences strategy. Agree with intent, but people should have freedom to use different strategies.

You can still have that strategy.. You need 13 players with a budget of 700m which requires squad players.. You can pick them first and be conservative saving money for high picks later.. Or sell back to the bank at a discount and pick someone else..

The intent is to make the draft fun and everyone should participate in bidding for players.

Happy to change the rules if there are better suggestions out there

How so? You need to have 2 active nominations - not that hard as you have to pick 2 reserve players as well and it's not like all of your nominations will be done for 24 hrs, it may take even couple of days when you get multiple bids on your nomination.

You only need to outbid someone to get another 24 window think it's pretty easy to fit into those requirements.

Not consistently. Assuming I go big for 2 or 3 goats and then stick with 20m or at best 30m players for rest....I would want to pick some hidden gems for later. By this rule, either I nominate and get crap players or I nominate a gem and get outbid. Not really good mechanics.

Anyways none of previous drafts ever suffered from lack of auction activity till the tail end of the process, so not sure if this enhancement is necessary. In face we had to stop nominations initially to keep lists manageable.

 

[MJJ]

Fixed starting price.

@Indnyc I think tiers are good as we've seen so many times managers grabbing a GOAT in SF or Finals for base price, because opponent needs reinforcing in a different position. Also having starting bids ensures no all GOAT teams. Keep it as it is.

What? Those are on two different rules.

What? Those are on two different rules.

One rule you are arguing against because too many goats, the other rule you are arguing against because not enough goats. Leave poor indy alone!

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Dude, you've goythis all wrong.

First point was supporting Indy in tiers and minimum prices.
Second point was agaist Indy on having a active bids and nominations rule.

Not sure how they are related?

I think you can still wait and build a team after everyone has blown through the budget. Once you’ve made a nomination.. Even if you get outbid, your nomination is valid until it finally gets picked.

What i don’t want is people picking GOATS for too cheap especially because the prices are reduced

Maybe a solution is instead of 2 nominations, we can reduce it to 1 nomination. This would ensure everyone is still participating and it isn’t too restrictive

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

What i don’t want is people picking GOATS for too cheap especially because the prices are reduced

If you have your GOAT lists right, they cannot do so without paying minimum price. That rule does nothing in this regard.

Again to reiterate, there has been no problems in participating in earlier drafts....it was chaos first 2 weeks or so.

Ignoring earlier chaos and picking later has it's risk and may missing popular stars. Still such a strategy should not be discouraged.

If this is the case then i don’t see a problem with the rule? It would mean people are bidding and nominating anyway so the rule won’t matter

The alternate question is why is there an issue with the rule? The idea is to have more bids because the player prices are cheaper

So in essence the tactic you have in mind is to blow most of your budget on GOAT's right away and then wait till the end to pick up 10-20m bargains? Yeah, that's why we should have this in place.
