Yes this is soccer/football

The idea:
300 players from the 16 teams who made it past the group stage are for sale. It's your job to buy players from that selection and create your own team.


More details:

- I've selected 300 players based on games played/name/skill. I'll post the list later and we could make a few changes.
- The 300 players are divided into 20 rounds of 15 players. You can bid on max 5 players per round.

- You start with 1000. Minimum offer is 10. Maximum is 900. You are not allowed to bid more in one round then however much money you have left.
- There are no requirements/limitations for you selection. I'd recommend having more then 11 players on your squad tho, including a goalie - a 2nd goalie won't be necessary. I'm looking to cap this at 15 so we can build some quality teams. his imaginary league of newly created teams would take place during this season. How good a player will be in 3 years won't matter.

- The bidding will go as followed:
I'll post the 20 rounds. Set deadlines for each round (48 hours?) The participants pm their offers to me. I collect them in an excel sheet and post the highest and let you'll know who bought who. I tend to participate as well. Which would require me to be the first one to submit an offer (before I can see who offered what and can adapt to that) and I could send this to a nonparticipating mod(sethypooh?) so he can guarantee me not cheating.

- Just to be sure: it's a Sealed first-price auction. In this type of auction all bidders simultaneously submit sealed bids so that no bidder knows the bid of any other participant. The highest bidder pays the price they submitted.

- Who wins? Not sure We could vote/discuss or I can set up a simulation in football manager.


Hope I explained this well.

sounds pretty awesome. I'll co-own with someone, but I don't want to be a primary or sole owner.

In if there's no $ entry fee. No co-own unless absolutely necessary.

No $. No clear winner etc. Main goal is to create discussion about the value of certain players, chemistry between certain players and so fort

sounds fun. count me in

actually BIM, I am in. If someone wants to co-own with me thats fine, but I'll take my own team.

sure why not

I will be in if someone wants to set up a sim for FM to determine the victor (which will be me obv). I actually do alot of (American) fantasy football auction drafts... they are so much better than snake order drafts IMO.

EDIT: I can co-own with someone if they want.

The 300 players atm. Let me know if you have some players that need to be in here and aren't now.

are we going to know each separate group before?

Yes. I'll use random.org and post the rounds here

Do you get some kind of extra credit for having money left over at the end?

No but... trades(/buying players from other participants) are allowed. So you could use it to buy other players. Although I have no idea what the other person would want the money for when there are no rounds left -_-

i wouldnt mind a co-owner as well if anyone's interested

would like to co-own with someone

In, would prefer no co-owner.

currently have no idea about the right strategy for this - but yes interested.

Basically you just try to gather a bunch of underrated players instead of spending all your money on the big names, and then you try to convince everyone your players are in fact best. Just like the draft

i'm down to co-own if needed

Count me in also

I'm also open for a co-owner btw if too many people want to join, but it doesn't seem that way so far.

in

In. So, am I reading this right, 1 round per 48 hours?
