Viktor Karpenko is already north of $150M and there are still 24 hours left in the auction. Can he break the record of $202M? Is he worth it?

19y/o. Max speed and nearly max intel. Wouldn't be surprised if he did break the record!
Especially if his str has no cap. |

Sounds like Solana_Steve look for reason to jump in
If i have money i would buy him but not more than 200 Mill and depend on draft keep him in YA and retrain to WR or even to Free Safety/CB |

I think the most I’ve spent on a player is ~$70M on a QB. In terms of non-QB’s I think it’s ~$45M. When he first came on the market, I was thinking about buying him and changing his position…but at this price, probably not.
IMHO, I think Max Int is probably a bit of a waste at RB…but if you switch his position, then you’d be wasting something else. Of course, I’ve done that before but not with a $150M player (=30 Steve Austin’s). Steve SD Blitz |

What is crazy is the managers who keep inflating the price. I mean, really, why put in bid after bid with 1 or 2 days to go? Isn't one bid enough for you to put him on your bid list? I think it not the most intelligent route unless you have so much money that you are going to just bludgeon people with it. As an example, Sydney convicts put in at least 20 different bids on each of the 150 million dollar players on the market right now. Why?
If anyone is confused by what I mean by inflated.... Suppose Player A is up for bid with 2 days to go. A real good one. Let's say that 25 managers are interested in him. They each put in one bid. That player is still below the 1 million mark (estimating). We all know we aren't going to be online at the same time when this auction ends. Perhaps it comes down to 5 to 6 managers left to bid at the end. Will the price be high, I'm sure it will. It won't however be at a starting price of 150+million. Starting at 1 million vs 150 million would indeed affect the final price. It may be the fortitude of one manager over the others. I don't understand the constant bidding on a player with days to go. It serves no purpose whatsoever other than to drive up the price. Any reasonable person can see that you can't win an auction with that much time left. You aren't proving you are more willing than the next guy to spend either. So...why? Is it just to drive up the price because they think it is somehow "fun?" My other question is, why do those who know they aren't really going to be in the final bidding keep raising the price? In regards to the rb. He is a nice talent for sure. However, with us going towards a more balanced and perhaps more pass oriented engine I'm not sure that it is a wise investment to spend that much on a rb. It would be like spending that on a WR the last few seasons. Whereas the great qb is only 10 million right now. The oline player is a good find though. |

Managers that won't be online when the auction ends get to put in their max bid this way. If others want to pay silly prices after that, let them.  |

You must think people are pretty stupid. Do you think the last 2 bids on this player are in any way influenced by what's happened b4? This is simple - people decide their limit on any given player and NOTHING else has anything to do with it!  |
