Personally I don't like blind bidding, why not add "first bid rule" (every manager can put any bid (limited by his founds)on a player, but just once) other rules could stay as now. It will give a chance to not-online-at-deadline guys to put serious bid and win auction

Wouldnt it cause "no bids" from the "Onliners" until we reach the deadline, and then huge bids by them? I see no help on the "non onliners should get a shot" issues

For ex., I need a player, but I'll not be online at his deadline. I estimate his price at 40 mil. I put this bid and have a chance to win this auction.

As now, I need a player, but I'll not be online at his deadline. I estimate his price at 40 mil. But at the moment than I'm online yet his price 5 mil. I can put 7.5 mil and have no chance to win

This would result in a serious cheating issue. This is the only reason we have such a limit...

Please explain the cheating? I am not sure how people would cheat? Creating a team for money gathering and then send them in auction at one shot to specific manager?
How this is limited by current system? By 50% increase limit?

the cheating issue isnĀ“t about the great players, but more like the money transfers. You can simply make a few teams let them play for a few games or multiple seasons sell their draft picks and then you sell them a player no one would want for millions of money via a blind bid. So that your team gets a big financial advantage.

Easy fix - a 'report transfer' button - it allows someone to report any dealings that appear to be dodgy.

Still, this has to be found by scanning the transfers.
Can't see this being a good solution.
