"Preparing" a bid
Gaming The SM RedCafe League
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Feck. I forgot to change my team on another gameworld after resting everyone for the Champions League semi final and have lost 5-1 and eliminated. FML :'(
Tammo Harder for sale. Cash only. The Dortmund prospect.
Fabinho linked to United now! Forest Brazilians in high demand!
Now Geis linked with Atletico. Going to be a long Summer! 
Does Herrera just put in bids for players all day, then withdraw them on the evening? He must be a pain in the arse to do deals with to be fair, I'll swerve that.

Transfers working differently now in SM it seems.
@The Man Himself just said his chairman wouldnt allow him to bid even 4mil for Mastour when my chairman was fine with upto 5mil.
Now earlier, the reverse would have been true due to squad value. Remember missing out on the likes of Januzaj because Reading could simply bid much higher. Its the reverse now it seems with teams having more cash able to bid more. This would also explain why Damo has been able to bid higher than others in recent deals.
Good change if I'm honest, replicates real life better. The 150mil @Damien has is going to come handy for him now.

It's a bit shit though as the Big Clubs can just hog all the players by bidding more.
Great to see my young Serbian players preforming so well in the U20 world cup.
FFP.
It replicates real life much better though which would be their natural aim.
EDIT:
Take the Januzaj transfer for instance. I remember both me and Damo had gone for him. Reading got him in the end. Unrealistic.
I do see that it's bad for the smaller clubs but that's where FFP comes in.
It is shit.
You need a balance with realism and playability.

But FFP is only so good, the big clubs can just buy up all of the top draw talent knowing that they can always out bid clubs like myself, Darlington, Reading and Sunderland etc
I think damo should be put out on his own in FFP matters now
.Starting to agree!I think damo should be put out on his own in FFP matters now
Not really. Its only Damo that has that much money. I'm fairly confident Trionz and you both have more cash than the likes of me, City, Chelsea etc. It helps the ones that have "more cash", not the bigger club.
Exactly. I know it sounds funny but its true.I think damo should be put out on his own in FFP matters now
I know my revenue not City's or Chelsea's but I'm certain none of those 2 are anywhere close to him either.
Oh. So basically the next say 6 top talents we're all basically fecked on because Damien the oil rich trillionaire will buy them all. What a wanker.
Lynch Damo
Yep. He's going to get whoever he wants now as long as the deal is with an AI club. No competition.
The problem is that it's going to be very hard for that money to drain away as well. He's got such a massive squad value advantage over the rest of us. Mmm.
Another good thing about this is that cash becomes relevant again. There were absolutely no good deals being done for cash because it was pointless in a competitive GW like ours. It becomes a factor again because the more you have, the better external talent you can get.
This makes me slightly regret paying over the top for Martinez and Kruse as I did it just to get them because cash didnt matter much.

Yup. 100mil gap isn't it? It'l only rise too as he's got a superb young squad.
He's in a league of his own really compared to the rest. cnuting Real Madrid like.
Interesting.
Oh for fecks sake. I was checking for Mastour everyday without fail and he is fecking added when I'm on holiday! 
Yeah I didn't check for one day and that was the day he was added. Poop. Ah well, I wouldn't have been able to win him anywayOh for fecks sake. I was checking for Mastour everyday without fail and he is fecking added when I'm on holiday!
Maybe something like increasing
I only knew because he was mentioned on the Sm forum in the Italian predictions, had no cap space and was only using my Ipad for the last few days to make it more awkward.
No chance of me being able to bid 5m for him. You can all feel free to withdraw your bids though so we can test this theory outYeah right.
We can test the theory out by simply picking a random player and comparing our bids.
How much can you bid for Cornet at Pool? 18/80.
Lawnmo said he could bid almost 12m on another forum.
Just £5,328,000
What was your limit?
More than me: £4,587,000.
Proves my point then. I can bid 4,828,000. It'd have been the reverse in the earlier system which used squad value.
Can some others also check and post what's the highest they can go?
Yeah but I've got like 3x as much money as most of you... just 500k extra doesn't seem like a great deal
I missed the mastour train too, balls! Looking at the bids, doubt I'd have won anyways
my bid was my max, but i think it takes squad value into account too. know for a fact i have more money than qpr but they were allowed to bid more.
How much extra is immaterial.
New talents are added valued at 1-2mil tops. Everyone has that. The one to get him would be the one that is allowed to bid the highest which now would be the club with the most cash. Earlier, it was the club with the weakest squad. That's the difference.
It'd be the same if Messi was available for cash btw. You'd still be able to outbid anyone unlike earlier times. Remember Januzaj? Went to Reading when we both maxed out on him. That won't happen anymore.
3,600,000 have 60m in the bank.
