CalumE5's Auction Game - The Rounds

[CtPauley]

Lol French. I did it for gcse and gave up after about a month so it just became an hour of doing **** all for me. I got an E at the end

 

[CalumE5]

I'm an intellectual So no giving it up for me And Chinese Gaffer? Do you live in the UK? I learnt a bit in Singapore when I lived there, but all I retained was counting to 10:

ee, arrr, san, si, wu, liu, chee, baaaa, joh, shi

Exams were okay, Listening is difficult though

Ravenie has sent bids, so I'll start doing results now

You sound like a right spastic XD but yeh that's basically it. The correct pinyin would be..

yi, er, san, si wu, lie chi, ba, jiu, shi. 5/10

I know, I was typing them phonetically Although I thought I was wright with liu oO) I'm Scottish too, but because I lived in Singapore for 2.5 years I get that kind of thing too :S

Anyway, getting close to finishing results, about halfway through them now.

​

 

[Gaffer]

Fail much.

 

[Alcaraz]

How is my bid for Lampard overbid when u consider that someone bid 55m for a much less able player called Javier Pastore or am I missing the system here?


Either way, my team looks good if a bit shaky...


----------------------------------- Buffon---------------------------------------
-------Rafael----------Rio Ferdinand----???-------------Santone------
-----???--------------Lampard------???------------------???--------------
-----------------------Tevez-------Torres----------------------------------

Imo Lampard, Tevez and Torres togeher, looks scary

How is my bid for Lampard overbid when u consider that someone bid 55m fr a much less able player called Javier Pastore or am I missing the system here?

It was difficult to find an overbid today, I went with that one because Lampard is getting pretty old, so I see 55m as a lot to pay for him. It doesn't matter though, doesn't affect the results

 

[fuelledbypassion]

Jeez Ben, were you getting frustrated at not winning anyone? Gutted you pipped me to Pastore by such a measly amount

Hardly much less able, and still has another 10 years of football in him

 

[CalumE5]

It's interesting to note that there were only 2 bids for Iker Casillas as well. Will post next player list in about an hour probs, will update OP first.

Pastore is just as good and alot younger mate. Plus he can probably improve too

lol, I know I was just asking, dont matter cos I love Lamps and now I got a decent 350m to spend on 2 wingers, 1 CB and a CM plus a manager and stadium

I will be waiting for that Special Manager to come by

He can be better but he is not better yet, imo I agree he is a lot younger but to match him on the same level of ability as Lamps is just exaggerating his ability

 

[brad_dyer]

Sent mt tied bid

When I had him at Villa he had 15 goals and 20 assists, and that was when I bought him in January. Proably the best AMC in the game (for me) :$

tbh due to the match engine, even if you employed an avergae goalie such as Kameni or Jefferson, ur ot likelt to concede too many goals, still it always helps having a great goalie as on FM these guys really irritate the **** outfo you by saving everything and then their team will score some fluke goal and win the game for them

 

[The Shots]

Whyyy. Some outragous bids! XD

This round, I am getting my player no matter what XD.

 

[ravenie]

I thought my overbids were enough, obv wrong.

 

[CtPauley]

Very happy with getting Salomon Kalou for only 14M

 

[CalumE5]

Updated the OP with budgets. Will now put up the next round
