I'm afraid this is wrong, there is now enough activity among 'rich' teams to ensure the 'poor' have zero chance of getting decent players.... the problem is, it is only the 'online rich' who get the chance. The 'true' value of players will become more transparent if more can bid their max amount, and much of the frustration of the current bidding process will be removed.


Maybe I am wrong.

I was thinking that way: at the moment, prices are driven o the sky, cause each bid raises the value of a player, and even rich teams have to be online during the sniping window.

With Ebaystyle even this is nit needed anymore. Big teams just bid X million on each player they would like to have, and small teams have NO chance to counter that. This will lead to less chances for smaller teams, and lower prices for players payed, overall.

Just my opinion.

Btw: I do not have any numbers now to judge if a team is a big or a small one in this context

I would categorize a big club from a small club in terms of having 75-100+ million ready for bidding purposes and it doesn't hurt your economy to lose those funds. That would be my own way of helping to determine...

Is there a reason why we couldn't combine both ways?

For Example:
Player A goes on the market for $1000.
Team X decides that he is willing to maxbid $25M on that player. Player A now has a bid of $1000 on him.

Team Y decides that he will take a flyer on Player A at $2000 (the next minimum bid) and puts a normal bid in. Team Y is informed that his normal bid does not make him the high bidder. Player A now has a bid of $10000 (max bid available at this point).

This goes on until just before the end of the auction. Player A has a max bid of $5M on him. Team Z bids $5,001,000 and gets informed he didn't pass the max bid. Player A now has a max bid of $7.5M and the auction extends 2 minutes past the last bid time. This goes on until the auction ends.

This type of bidding will cause the bid money teams to not just bid $100M because they can. If that were the case, Team Z could bid the minimum until he noticed that the bid price didn't go up 150%. For example, Team X has a $100M maxbid. The bid gets to $80M and gets bid up one more time, but the bid on the player only goes to $100M. Team Z can immediately stop driving up the price at that point and Team X is stuck paying $100M for a player that may only be worth $10M.

Yes, combining things is sometimes an option, as long it does not collide with KISS...

We need to describe what happens, in a way you don't need to study 3 years for getting an idea about.

Can we achieve this?

I think nobody really can predict how the ebay-style will work on the TM and if this is really better than the actuall system.

There will be allways a system that prefere managers more with a big bankroll or with many time or both.

If you have enough time and less money you can acually "steal" great prospects from the TM, but you must develop them.

I haven't really thought about how it would look visually, just how it might work in theory.

How about having two boxes for bids? One for normal bid and one for max bid. Then when you place the bid, it will check that only one of the two are populated.
