Hey guys,

Really sorry to everyone that has bidded, but we are going to change the auction format slightly and start again as it is going to be a bit to complicated and long winded this way!!

The new format will see the auction completed in 5 rounds through the use of bundle packs! Now you will get some information on the players involved, such as position but the actual players will be random! Hopefully this will make it easier for all of you and you don't have to look up every player etc. and should be exciting to see what players you will get in each pack!

Again apologises to everyone that has submitted a bid!

I will post the new rules and format very shortly and then Znik will post the first pack to start bidding on.

New Auction Format

​
  1. There will be 5 rounds consisting of; 2 American Packs of 7 players, 2 Foreign packs of 5 players, 1 Foreign pack of 4 players + 1 manager. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................
  2. For each pack you will see some basic information of the players included such as positions, but you will not know what players you will be receiving and so will be effectively randomized. All the packs will have a similar level of CA and PA.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
  3. You will now have a transfer budget of 25 million - Average 5 million per round ...........................................................................................................................................................................
  4. Wages will be sorted out after the auction and will be edited accordingly to prevent exceeding 350k p/w .....................................................................................................................................................................
  5. Again please bid on every pack in the round, as you will only receive 1 per round. .............................................................................................................................................................
  6. Lowest bid = 1M, Smallest bid integer = 0.1 M, Failure to bid = 2.5 Mil for a random remaining pack ......................................................................................................................................
  7. 36 hours minimum time between rounds


Hopefully that covers everything! You will get to see the players you have won at each auction round before the next one begins, which should help you know which positions you need to acquire in the next round!

As always comment or PM if you have any questions
 
By the way Zacram, could I change the way i'm contacted to just PM - decided against the email. Obviously still understand I have to email you bids etc..
 
In about an hour. Just got to get to my computer first!

Auction: Pack Round 1​
This is a round of National Packs! You will get 5 players from 1 nation. The packs all include 3 experienced players and 2 young talents (age = 22 or less). The total ability of every pack is the same, but the way the ability is split may vary. Some packs have 5 similar players, some have a couple of players of a bit higher ability and others of lower ability. The positions of the players in the pack are listed in order of Current Ability, from highest to lowest.

All the players are of decent quality, but there are no global superstars in these packs, so do not expect Messi or Ronaldo!

Remember to bid for all packs, if you submit a bid where you forget to bid for some packs, I will interpret that as a minimum bid. Also, if possible, try to avoid bidding the same amount for packs where you don't bid minimum, that way I can understand the priority of your bids.
If you submit your bids, but do not win any pack, you will get a random pack out of the ones you bid minimum for.

Remember: You have a total budget of £25M. There are 5 pack rounds. The minimum bid in this round is £1M, and the lowest integer is £0.1M

Good luck!

There are still spots, so I think you're safe! To answer your mail: No, you do not need to bid for the managers or American Keepers, all players and managers will be compressed into packs that you can bid for, like you have done now!
