I won't be back home in more than 24 hours, could we make the time-limit 48 hours for the first bids or something or I will have to pick leftovers? Hopefully @Balu can handle the team for while I am gone and make bids etc.
If that's the case then we should just stop the bidding all together, 48 hr time limit for 4 bidders won't make any sense
Yup, either balu does it or we wait until annah comes back.
Would have completed an awesome and seamless conversion from Lazio-Parma to Juve
Crespo would have looked more out of place without his mates, but you could then get Ronaldo as the icing on the cake before the final and peak at the right time
One thing that should become a fixture is reinforcements being auction-based. You can draft whichever way you like, but I do prefer this system where you can balance your overall needs and make calls based on that. I remember a couple of drafts ago I was first to pick and quite frankly wasn't too arsed about any of the top top players. I mostly needed a bunch of 2nd-3rd tier ones in the right positions but bearing in mind what would be available by my next turn, my strategy had to be "leftover based" and not "optimal".
This looks much better as a system.

To be honest, I'd prefer it if you guys waited. If you don't want to wait, I try my best to get things going, but I think it's better if Annah completes his team on his own. I'm sure the whole Messi - Ronaldo thing is a shitload of negotiating through PMs, I'm not really in the mood to do it after loosing my game.
In that case we should wait.
@Polaroid has to take a call because some bids will finish soon!
So what is it now? I hope you guys just start it when Annah is back. If not I just make a stupid bid for Messi now?
In case you guys don't want to wait, I bid 41m for Messi now at 21:51. But after you played this for so many weeks, it would make much more sense to wait those 2 days and let Annah be part of the auction. Then just ignore my bid, I have no idea what I'm doing anyway.

When is annah coming back? does he prefer us to wait or he has appointed Balu as AM? MJJ is ok to wait, how about you Crappy?
I prefer to wait if it is one day as Annah's post seems to suggest. He needs to let us lnow when he is coming back though, so the bids can resume
This is locked until Annah confirms his return. If no reply from Annnah within 48 hrs from now, we will unlock this, with Balu or someone else standing in for Annah
Great, thanks. I think Annah will be back tomorrow late at night, if I understood him correctly.
Great lets wait for him then, we try to accommodate each other's schedule where possible
I am fine with waiting
We have 70m if I am not mistaken
Great, Annah will be back tomorrow late at night, we can resume the bidding the day after from 1102 hrs onwards, with the bids that are already lodged retaining their timings albeit on a different day, if you all get what I mean
Pretty sure you have 80m @Polaroid . I would have had 70m and you guys had more.
Last round you bought -
Kaka - 10m
Seedorf - 10m
Figo - 18m
That's 38m.
How much money did you have after round 1?
We had 56 at the beginning of previous round
10 out for kaka
10 out for seedorf
18 out for figo
2 in for Muller
That makes it 20 left
Adding it to 50 gives us 70
I wish we have 80 though
Oh damn. I would have had the biggest budget again? Ffs.
Yep!
No idea what happened in your game. I was going to vote for you as well but didn't because the score was so wide. Ridiculous come back, was crazy
A crazy armada of Premier League fanbois appeared and completely destroyed my Serie A team within an hour or something like that
.Oh yes talking about Muller reminds me of this - personally I believe we should have upfront lump sum payments for all transfers to make the group accounting (not referring to individual) for this game easier, simpler and clearer for everyone to track and understand.
In reality, once we open up the market for managers to trade, buy and sell, managers come up with all sorts of private deals which are impossible for the admin to police regardless of whether they are right or wrong, fair or unfair - credit extension through deferred payments or installments, restricted playing clause (cannot play against my team), loans hidden in over or undervalued sales etc

Veron being underrated here may have cost you
There was also a series of flip flop and confusion on the formation graphic - MJJ asked me to switch to the one with Emerson. After it was updated in OP, he wanted to revert back to the original so I switched back for him again. There was a third one reverting back to Emerson which was not updated. I hate to think that it might have affected the result. Would it better for managers to post their OPs so that they can edit anytime they want without having to wait for the admin to update the tactical change? That means both managers are around to kick off the match, if not the absent manager can get the draft admin to do it for him.
Ideally that would be the case but not always possible
Will be home in some hours so we can start deadlines now if all managers are ok with it.

@crappycraperson
@Annahnomoss
Please confirm if you r ready to resume
If so we go by the timings below as of 27 April
I am ready!
Pol start it off 9am tomorrow, all bids.
That way they will conclude at 9 pm unless someone outbids you.

What's the point?
As long as Crappy comes on and confirms then we should just carry on because everyone will know.
Point is my timezone is GMT plus 5. If he does come on after I go to bed, I wont be able to bid on players I want as the bids would have expired by the time I wake up. All of the bids are expiring 3am/4am for me.
Unless I bid now which wont be fair on crappy.
Ah okay, we could just make it a 24 hour deadline for now then.
So the bids would expire 3pm for you - saves us 12 hours.
Works for me.
I am here. Keep it 12 only.
Lets start it? Do we set the deadlines from now? 12 hour deadlines?
