Anyone interested in managing Sheff Utd? Else, I propose a draft next week
Draft makes sense. Do ensure that the order is sensibly decided though and that people bid max cash so that the club aren't screwed over. Shouldn't be p/ex either otherwise people will just dump trash.

We will discuss the merits of you doing me a favour over a beer and some ribs when I come and visit you in Brighton, but that aside, I was trying to do you a favour. How can you afford 2x face value on any player?
When it's a 70 rated player I can afford it! I can barely afford anyone right now anyway so doesn't really matter to me.

@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.
