I could put out a pretty strong 11 already.

Lloris
Sagna--Cahill--Pieters--Riise
Michu--Nolan--Cabaye--Silva--Lallana
Soldado

Expect to get around 3 good players to come into that team too.

Some shall we say interesting choices about which players to go for

It might cheer you up to know you have the lottery absolutely sown up! Pretty sure you get the top 7 picks until your squad is full up. Sure that was the tactic all along

If you bid for a player who nobody has before today, then no one will know you have.

I think I have a pretty good 11 too already

Mignolet
12 defensive penalty points
Walcott
Rooney Benteke Aguero

Rooney is up in the air though. If he moves to Chelsea he'll be far more valuable than if he stays at United.

And if you bid for a player who has already got a bid?

I'm guessing no one will know if you're unsuccessful and only the person who was leading will know if you are successful.

I have a good team as well.

Cech
Evra, Williams, Vertonghen, 3 penalty points.
Gerrard, Toure,
Lambert, Podolski, Berbatov.

Yep pretty much. There might be a slight flaw with the offer deadline. I think it might get set to blank, so people might be able to work it out from that.

You'll have an awesome front 6 by the end of the day. Pretty certain you'll have the best starting 11 out of everyone, not sure you'll have much/any decent players after that though.

Please can you write all the rules and how they work down somewhere when you have time, it's really frustrating to only find these things out when its too late

Hold on. I'll just check what happens to offer deadline...

Okay.

If you bid for someone whose leading bid was made before Friday, your offer will be set to Pending and the leading bidder will be informed if his bid is now rejected.

If you bid for a player with no leading bid before friday, your offer will be set to Pending and no finger print will be left of your bid.

Just so everyone knows.

Playerlottery: 8pm Saturday
Transfer Window Opens: 8pm Sunday

You can obviously discuss deals pre-window.

Is there anyway you could unveil the lottery in a 1st pick Batdude Giroud, 2nd pick .... kind of way? Reckon that'd be really good for building the suspense and it might give people a better idea of how the lottery works.

That's a really good idea. I'll see if I can set something up.

The wages part has screwed my team up, I cant bid for anymore.

yep which is why, I thought giving players short contract or Cheaper Contract ( I was more worried by the cost of wages) was more advantageous.

It allows me to buy 2-3 more players + It is likely I will retain at least 70% of the players.

The main problem from giving such big wages is you're going to get very very late picks in the lottery.

Not sure how you work that out? You're players will be the first ones available to buy so everyone is going to be trying to get them off you.

not too sure about that, I can easily afford to keep 4-5 players in the auction If I wish to.

Gerrard September 29
Podolski September 29
Yaya Toure September 29
Vertonghen September 29
Lambert September 15
Mata September 8

Plus, I might not actually bid for any of these players again, depending on injuries and form.

I give my players the longest possible contracts and paid £10m for Szczęsny when I could have had him for £0.

To keep a player you have to let his contract run out, ie let him become a free agent, and then bid for him again. This means everyone else is allowed to bid for him too.

You'll have a lot of competition for all of those players for sure. They won't go for as cheaply as they did in this auction, they'll most likely all go for £10m+ I reckon.

Right. I'm heading out. The window will shut at 9pm and you will find out who you have won or missed out on. Any problems with it I will sort out when I get back later tonight.

Also you haven't got Mata yet

Batdude can still take him if he wishes.

It's good to know Fab has not lost any of his underhand methods to gain an advantage.

Thanks for leaving Snodgrass for me.
