If the same is not possible by just invalidating current bids, then starting from the last player bought over base price, the players will be sold back to the bank for same price, up until the point manager is able to complete his squad per budget/rules.
- Case B: If any times due to players bought manager is not able to field a valid 11 then last player bought over base price will be sold back to bank with 10m penalty, with the process continuing till the manager is capable of buying replacements that will allow a valid 11 to be fielded.
