It'll be whatever it gets to at the end of the season, 26.5m Afro keeps hinting at.

GSC wrote:Alright Rules for TP increases I guess.
Period for bidding will open once lawyers the week prior to the increase have been posted.
The period for accepting bids will be over 1 hour after lawyers are posted the following week
Bids will be made by PMing me the player, a link to the TM page, and the amount bid. Minimum bid is the players TM value (before someone goes for that loophole)
You actually have to be in possession of the money used to make a bid.
You can bid for 2 players, both have to made in the same PM, and you have to have to the money for both.
The latest PM sent will be the one accepted.
In the event of 2 bids being of the same value for the same player, the first one made will win.
Only players that will become available after the increase are up for auction, anybody else can be signed freely.
Any players that are not bid on become available to sign at any time.

Anything I missed

My suggestions would be:

1) Open it for longer than 1 hour. This gives all managers the chance to participate, if they are not on between 12 and 1 on that particular day. I would have it open for at least 24 hours, perhaps longer

2) Similar to the draft system, have it that if two or managermanagers bid the same the one player, they get the chance to raise their bid. They can be notified by PM, and reply by PM. This way, they won't know who else has bid, just that their bid was matched.

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 12:26 pm

If after the bidding, a player at the new increase hasn't been signed, can he be bought freely?

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 12:27 pm

What is the TP level when we're doing this btw?

I only just realised this was what you had said, so ignore my point 1 picard

TP limit's listed on TP page

The TP limits rise as follows:
Week 7 - £22m
Week 9 - £23m
Week 11 - £24m
Week 13 - £24.5m

End of season - £26.5m

Week 3 - £27.5m
Week 5 - £28m
Week 7 - £31m
Week 9 - £31.5m
Week 11 - £33.5m
Week 13 - £35m

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:27 pm

Yeah, he becomes an ordinary TP target

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:29 pm

I was kinda intending not to look at bids until the deadline though really. Since I may want to make my own bids (which I'll pm to Afro/sodhat probably for proof)

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:30 pm

I guess if they're tied I could give both 1 chance to name a better price, and the higher wins. Otherwise the first bid wins.

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 12:35 pm

And to confirm the window..

The Cup final result will be on 4th June. So we are saying TP window opens after lawyers on 4th June and closes 1 hour after lawyers on 11th June?

And season 3 will start with tactics on 14th June? (I'm on hols 15th-22nd, so you may want to delay it if you need me for admin things)

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 12:37 pm

So at the close of the window, if there are tied bids, the managers get a chance to raise their bid once (within a set timescale), but no more than that and if the second bid is tied as well it becomes first come, first served)

Sounds sensible to me

Sorry, I was meaning tied after the window was closed, not as you go along

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:39 pm

Yeah, I'll pretty much give both managers (or more if more tie) a chance to up, and highest wins. If another tie ill go back to the first original bid

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:43 pm

Also, I was intending the having the money rule be so you can't make bids with money you could have from lawyering etc.

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 12:49 pm

Controversial. Best see what the masses say as quite often a purchase is dependant on a sale etc. If a majority are happy, then I am happy to go with it too

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 12:50 pm

FYI prize money will be announced so that everyone is able to add it to budgets during that same week of the window

by Guest Fri 10 May 2013, 12:52 pm

Speaking of which, I need £7.3m in cash. Who's going to oblige? Smile

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:53 pm

Yeah I'm open to suggestion on that.

Purchases must be final I guess, not actually buying the player should incur a fine.

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 12:57 pm

Pellegrini down to 1/4 to be next City Manager at skybet

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 1:20 pm

I think you should be able to bid what you like, but in an eBay style twist, if you win and don't have the money, its legally binding and you would be forced to sell to raise money.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 1:22 pm

I like Marky's idea.

Not a fan of only having an hour to re-bid after lawyers.

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 1:24 pm

Its a nice idea but it has the potential to get pretty silly.

Its not a re-bid just an extra hour post lawyers

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 1:27 pm

Maybe a max bid of your budget and lawyer values.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 1:57 pm

What about the people who are not about in that hour after lawyers?

Surely must be a bigger timeslot

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 2:08 pm

They have all week prior. Gotta cut off at some point.

Last scramble we basically had an hour post lawyers

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 2:45 pm

Alternatively rather than an hour post lawyers, the cutoff is like 2pm.

by **Afro** Fri 10 May 2013, 2:56 pm

I think you are misunderstanding the timescale suggested Olly.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 3:01 pm

I have completely misread it all sorry Laugh

Sky seem to think Arsenal are front runners for Higuain

by Fernando Fri 10 May 2013, 3:38 pm

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 3:43 pm

All this talk of Arsenal signing Jovetic, Arsenal signing Higuain.

It'll be Loic Remy and for more than QPR paid.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 6:16 pm

Lots of people putting there eggs in the £24.5m basket I see...

by Trebs Fri 10 May 2013, 6:18 pm

Lahm and Lewandowski are obviously wanted by everyone. But unless I get some nice lawyers offers, I won't be in a position to play.

by Guest Fri 10 May 2013, 6:19 pm

Right lads, here's some bargains for you:

Kyle Walker - £15m
Leonardo Bonucci - £22m
Ryan Shawcross - £6m
Philippe Mexes - £4m
Luke Shaw - £8m
Kevin Strootman - £12m
Victor Wanyama - £7.5m
Francesco Totti - £2m
Alexandre Pato - £14m
Jermaine Defoe - £9m

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 6:20 pm

I have the money to play.

I'm just deciding what route I want to go down

by Trebs Fri 10 May 2013, 6:23 pm

Similar position at Bassender:
Asmir Begovic - £7m
Davide Astori - £12m
Jeremy Mathieu - £10m
Jefferson Farfan - £14m
Serge Gnabry - £1m
Sven Bender - £18m
Moritz Leitner - £6m
Alexis Sanchez - £28m
Burak Yilmaz - £17m
SS Shawn Parker - £1.5m
LW/ST Theirry Henry - £1m

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 6:29 pm

onlytreblewinners wrote:Alexis Sanchez - £28m

I'm sorry, but with Lavezzi coming in at £24.5m, anyone with that sort of cash is hardly gonna spend £28m on Sanchez.

EDIT: Except maybe the previous Bassender manager Whistle

by Guest Fri 10 May 2013, 6:30 pm

I have the money to play twice Euro Division Homepage LVII - Page 10 3559488474

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:31 pm

Tbf there's Mirallas at 8.8m I'd be inclined to buy before Sanchez

by Fernando Fri 10 May 2013, 6:36 pm

id have a clearout but well i don't want anyone at 24.5m most don't seem worth it and well im broke Smile

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:36 pm

I'd like Lahm but Piszczek is better than most already, and not worth selling up for Lewandowski

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 6:38 pm

Players for sale from Dos Cervezas por favor if anyone wants to splash the cash;

Ashley Williams - £5.5m
Dani Alves - £22m
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - £16m
Dimitar Berbatov - £6m
Theo Walcott - £20m

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:39 pm

Dimitar Berbatov - £6m
Theo Walcott - £20m

Whistle

by Fernando Fri 10 May 2013, 6:39 pm

I will give you 500k for every goalscoring cross from Theo for Theo Whistle

and no you can't vote for that

by Guest Fri 10 May 2013, 6:41 pm

I am interested in all five of them tbh. Not sure which of them I want most.

by Marky Fri 10 May 2013, 6:41 pm

GSC wrote:Dimitar Berbatov - £6m

Both under TM value.

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:41 pm

You talked me into buying Walcott in the first place so I'm not surprised

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:42 pm

Berbatov has served his purpose, Walcott I could happily hang onto and get a massive lawyers offer end of season.

by GSC Fri 10 May 2013, 6:45 pm

Pellegrinis the new City manager apparently.

I didnt know they needed one but there.

by Fernando Fri 10 May 2013, 6:48 pm

Well that's stupid if true next season would be an easier season to win the title tbh with all the roundabouts happening whilst they stay solid

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 10 May 2013, 6:52 pm

I'm not sure it'll be an easier title to win.

Mourinho coming back to Chelsea, who have a squad that could challenge.
Utd will maybe have a drop off, but they have quality, and Moyes is a good manager, especially domestically, so I expect them to be up there.

Citeh seem to have stagnated under Mancini this season, they need more than just "staying solid" to get near the title
