International Auction Game - Complete

[tiraths]

This is an invite only auction game and there are no spaces to join.

So the idea which I had for this auction game, was that the competitors choose 2 nations to make a squad of 16 with. From one nation (primary) they'll need to buy 9 players, from their other chosen nation they need to buy 5 players, which leaves 2 'wild-card' players who can be any nationality, who must be bought during the auction. There are a few players auctioned who won't be from any of the nations picked, so they're just there for wild card options (although of course, you can steal players from the other nations if you wish )

Here are the competitors and their chosen nations:

I'll post the first list this afternoon. As usual I'll aim to do one round per day, assuming none of you have social lives either

Enjoy :wub:

 

[Alex]

Are there even that many players in Spain?! oO)

 

[Average Joe]

Good chance of the Dutch going for good prices!

 

[tiraths]

Are there even that many players in Spain?! oO)

Haha the only position which was hard to find players was in defence, so there are quite a few youngsters.

 

[DMF]

One of only 3 people to pick France

Got a good chance in this.. Although I don't really remember how it's going to work.

 

[Alex]

One of only 3 people to pick France

Because they're dump.

 

[Average Joe]

Because they're dump.

IRL as a team maybe but as individuals on FM nope

Nasri, Ribery, Benzema, Evra, Toulalan etc etc

 

[DMF]

Because they're dump.

Maybe, but with the youngsters they have coming up too and with the individuals in their team along with the top class regens they produce, I could get lucky.

 

[Kris]

Glad I avoided Spain. Going to be very interesting when Xavi etc get drawn since we only have 200m

 

[iamauser]

Looks like just me and Kris chose Italy as our main country and 3 others chose it as secondary nation, should be good

Glad I avoided Spain too, I thought everyone would chose Spain

 

[Jake]

Sigh, i knew i shouldn't have followed the crowd and gone with Spain.

[Alex]

FFS. Can't believe I went Spain. I thought people were going to think too many people would go for them so would leave them, bullocks.

 

[Brian]

bidded

 

[TGW]

Nathan's done pretty well picking Cameroon, he'll be able to pick up Eto'o at a relatively low price. Very good concept, will follow with interest :wub:

 

[DMF]

FFS. Can't believe I went Spain. I thought people were going to think too many people would go for them so would leave them, bullocks.

I did that, then decided not to pick them

 

[Mike.]

Why the **** did i go with spain. massive error

 

[Jake]

Nathan's done pretty well picking Cameroon, he'll be able to pick up Eto'o at a relatively low price. Very good concept, will follow with interest :wub:

Not unless i bid on him as one of my wildcards...
