We bid for players off a 55 man auction list with players nominated by the managers. Players cannot be born earlier than 1 Jan 1970. Anytime managers can replace one of the players without bids on the list with a nomination of his own. Each time a vacancy opens up with a winning bid, any manager can nominate a player to fill the vacancy.

Each team starts with 300 m and bidding starts at 10 m with each increment at least 2 m
Bids have to be time stamped for them to be valid. Bids unchallenged for 24 hrs r deemed to be winning bids
Bids cannot be withdrawn and managers who fail to go through with a winning bid will be fined 30 m

Minimum squad size 11, maximum squad size 23
After each stage, teams that progress receive 50 m in bonus to transfer kitty balance
In reinforcement round, managers can bid for players from eliminated teams or those yet to be picked. They can also transfer list their players to raise funds.

For transfers, we will have a separate transfer list where a manager who wishes to sell his player can quote a price and others can bid. Once seller and buyer agree, the transfer can proceed, no 24 hr timeline.

24 hr starts ticking only from 25 March 8 am GMT for bids submitted before then to give managers time to catch up on the changes

After that is 24 hr time line for individual bids according to their time stamp

wait.. aren't we doing only forwards first ?

I am not in favor of all positions at once.. it would be a clusterfeck with people possibly having 11 bids at once

They can if they want to, other managers can always top the bids

@Polaroid The 1970 limitation is also missing from OP. Is that still in place?

I'm assuming the time is 24h GMT and 07.05 means 07:05 AM, right?


And a suggestion for the listing would be to group by Managers. Easy to track on who is where...

Crappy:
Messi - 80m - crappy - 07.05

Pippa:
T. Silva - 20m - 07.10
A. Cole - 20m - 07.10
G. Buffon - 10m - 07.11

U r free to nominate a new player to replace any player on the auction list as long as there r no bids for that player
Does that mean if I bid right now, as there are only 4 bids, I am free to replace any other 51 on that list?

I like that suggestion for listing, much much cleaner.

Added the 1970 restriction
Yes 24 hr format going by GMT
We won't go by manager sorting, just a list of players by positions to keep things organised

means if u exceed the budget due to a bid..
It means if you bid for a player you don't want and end up getting him but can't actually afford him you pay the fine.
If you've overbid for a player, and can't realistically pay your bid to get him, you'll lose the player (who'll go back to the transfer/auction list) and you'll be fined 30m.

Am I correct?
If the team does not have sufficient funds to go through with the transfer, it has to pay 30 M in fine.
Ah, cheers.

Well. Seems like my strategy of waiting due to the rules changing every few hours paid off.

Can someone explain the 55 man auction list and why that is in there? Is it just to keep less players involved at the same time?

Yes. Only 55 players can be involved in bidding at once. Once they are won, they are off the list and a new one can be nominated.

The deadline goes all the way up to March 26th? What's the point of even bidding now? Even if your bid goes unchallenged for 2 days you still won't get the player.

Yeah.. we don't need that. Everyone bar the newb was online today so it should not be an issue. Rule change have not been drastic
