@Varun has confirmed that min squad size is 21, loans not included, so Sheff Utd can only sell 3 players

Unless @Damien wants to bring in extra players to allow more bids, else the draft will end pretty quickly

That would be counter productive. Buying shit so that the good ones can be taken by others.

How about max 3 clubs can bid per player.

If you believe everyone should have an equal chance, a simple randomly generated list sorts out the issue.
 
Well surely thats counter productive though? If it was under normal conditions then I could have free pick of pretty much any player as I know that my bid would always win given i've got the 2nd shittest squad in the game. So why exactly would I therefore agree to a draft system that gives everyone the equal chance of winning? That's bizarre.

Yeah, I agree. For now just keep the draft going until the three players are picked. Maybe include Zouma (88) and Goretzka (88) on loan to bring it up to 5. Yeah, loan deals aren't same as permanent deals but it'll make the draft more interesting I guess.
 
Sorry guys I don't understand what's going on.:confused:

Yep, it doesn't change anything other than ensuring that every club can participate regardless of their cash situation which is the case with an open free for all. I said that because stain felt this is unfair. Personally, I'm all for letting smaller clubs get first dibs to improve overall standard of the league.

As far as agreeing to something is concerned, it's the same as bigger clubs agreeing to this format. Not everyone will be be perfectly happy with every way chosen as there's always going to be someone that loses out.

A Club is now manager less which means players can be bought from them. To help the overall quality of the league, it's been decided that the lower clubs(by squad value) will get first dibs on who they want. So it's a draft format with lowest squad value clubs first. If you want a player, mention who you want and you will be able to buy him for max cash. If you don't want one, say that you're skipping.

Indeed. Besides, my players are for sale as long as the valuation is... generous. So it's not like big clubs still don't have a chance of signing players from me. Sell high, reinvest, thats the Hereford way.

So any player at face value from Sheffield Wednesday?
 
2x value doesn't make sense to me. If the goal is to give smaller teams preference, it's been scuppered by that rule and ban on player exchange.

I think the idea is to maximize cash to Sheffield United in case when someone wants to takeover the club in future

It is not perfact, and we can still improve it in next draft (if any), but this time round, only 3 players are available, so it is not too bad
 
In that case would like Alexander Isak.

OK, well I'll wait until the West Ham draft. But for that draft it should be FV, 1.5XFV, 2XFV etc. You could factor the price with a .25 or .5 increase on FV relative to each 100m of a squad's value. So someone with 150m of squad value pays FV, 200m 1.5FV, 300m+ 2xFV. Obviously a very rough outline but that's how I'd do it to benefit the smaller teams.

West Ham manager is still active
 
I meant based on squad value, not that i'd get to bid anyway ffs.

OK, thought he was awol. Still, I think that's a good idea for future drafts if the function of drafts is to allow smaller clubs first preference. Having first preference on something you can't afford doesn't really work.

Your best players were those that you loaned from other clubs. Nevertheless, you had some great talents there!

As far as I am concerned, it carries little value if the record are mostly from Div 3 - 5

I was just joking, just in case that wasn't clear :)
 
I (west ham) am here, and I do play still, even if I don't talk that much.
