A question Season, lets say I brought Cazorla and his contract expires at 29 sept, if I sell him to someone else before the date, does the other person get the option to extend the date, or does it remain the same.

If you can change the date, then it would be very beneficial to sell players and buy players, then actually wait for them to become a free agent.


hopefully this makes sense.

Tried it, it rejects the bid because it obviously doesn't beat the previous bid. I could add another 0.5m to the bid but I don't want to extend the deadline.
Yeah sorry. Adding 0.5m is the only way I'm afraid.

Think season might be busy so I'll answer this

If you sell Cazorla then it'd be an entirely new contract so whoever you sold him to has total control over how long it should last for.

You can do this if you wait for a player to become a free agent before buying them too though.

Do you see what I mean?

Yeah. What Fab says is correct. The idea is to give more power to the buyer. In last couple of years it was always the seller who had the power. Think this year there will be more of a balance.

Obviously it is an individuals decision what is best, but I would've thought let all players contracts run out and then trying to buy them again would be very expensive.

I should point out there will be things to stop you simply agreeing to sell a player to someone and buy him straight back to set a new contract. Obviously we could end up with a lot of colluding if I allowed that.

Yeah I was wondering about stuff like that.

Also before the deals start going through and all hell breaks loose can you go through how friday bidding works as it seems very likely we'll have deals taking that long to be sorted this week.

Basically once it is Friday and the Offer deadline is Friday 9pm, then people stop getting feedback on their bids and it will just tell them the bid is pending, just like in the pre-auction.

Cazorla goes for £26 million. Wonder if that'll be the highest.

We need Fantasy Coach Sports News Channel. Every few minutes a new deal seems to go through.

Naturally . The one time you've bought a player over list price (or £0)?

It'll be interesting to see if that works this season with the auction process being slightly different.

I hope Batdude knows he didn't literally have to buy 22 players in the auction...

I've bought more players than you have so far

I wish, all the big players I wanted seem to have plenty of competition. You've done amazingly well at getting big names than no one else has gone after.

Ouch. Lampard goes for free...I already knew he was, but still. Can't believe none of us did anything about it.

no one can, if they already had an offer for a chelsea player.

Hopefully Jose will give him plenty of game time!

I remember when I was trying to sell Lampard in the first season, no one else apart from you seemed to rate or have any interest in him

Personally I can't see him getting enough game time this season.
