BSM Draft League

Seaneh

My hope is all my bids are accepted and then I can cancle the ones I don't want in favour for the once I'm winning which I think are most important, if that makes sense?

Hoping for a total of 3gk's, 4dc's, 4 ull backs, 4-5 cm's, 4-5 wingers/amc's and 3 strikers.

GT_TDI_150

I'm doing something similar but ... I'm also trying to see at what point the transfer total accumulator has a fit and gives up the ghost.

KERSPLAT!

Closing on a billion :eek:

Gonna be some craic going through who I want, don't want, need and don't need tomorrow night

Mr Blobby

Going to have to retire from the league unfortunately.. I'm away for the next few days so don't have time to pick players for drafts etc.

Seaneh

The draft is done, just bid on a few more players to make the 19 min and then leave it at that for now.

KERSPLAT!

I'm actually worried that I won't get any players I want!!

Seaneh

Ha, me too, PSG the feckers are putting in mental bids!

You can't see what they're offering though can you?

Seaneh

They made a few bids that weren't undiscolsed.

KERSPLAT!

I've about 100 bids out, 1 billion euros worth. Most are in and around cost price. I'd be happy with about 4-5 higher rated players 90/91 and the rest rising youth, we'll see tomorrow!!!

Bayern have gone again, but not to worry it is understandable and Blobby did us a favour by buying the drafted players, the game will automatically fill the squad now.

I am worried about getting the players i need, confident i will get a few young lads I am after,

But you just can't be sure the way some lads throw the money around!

Yep! I had thrown a bit around at the start and then changed to lower. I'd rather 2 x rising 88/89s than an older 90/91. No point blowing 30m on them. That'd be 1/5th of my budget!

Seaneh

most of my bids have been pretty tame, i don't think ill be getting my main targets but im happy with my first team so not too bothered.

I've gone a bit higher on the two left backs I've bid on as i badly need one,

Just a case of hoping i can be on around the accepting stage to cancel some of the deals that i might not want going through!

I'm pretty much the same really. Out of the numerous bis that I put out, I think only two of them are on players that already had bids on them!

Seaneh

Im going for the obvious young prospects as rotation players but might have to set my sights lower by this time tomorrow.

GT_TDI_150

I've 50-100 bids on too but all it takes it 1 manager to outbid me on each of the offers and I get no-one ...

not that far a stretch with 15 of us bidding on player

It's hard to judge too. It's a fine balance between going high enough to get the player and going too high and wasting money!

Seaneh

Jesus game, just accept the bids and put us out of our miseries!

Wilberto

I've plenty of time to look anyway while I'm on the plane from Argentina to Germany!!

Normally slightly after

So how will it be midnight tonight then?

GT_TDI_150

sorry, thought you were referring to 00:00 with the '24hr'

KERSPLAT!

I'm lost

GT_TDI_150

Dear SM,

In relation to the 500m + worth of bids I've placed ...

Nice. While I lost out on Indi Martin and Asamoah, I got Sneidjer for 15m unopposed

Colemania

Ah lads some of the bids on those players are nuts. There's a few people bidding in and around cost price like me and then there's people bidding triple the value of the player. So far I have won no bidding wars

GT_TDI_150

Ok, from an initial scan though the 50+ msgs (while on the phone)...

It looks like I'm the sole bidder the following and therefor can announce that

Kevin Mirales(90), Dries Mertens(90), Thomas Meunier(86) are joining the Belgian Revolution @ AC Milan,
with Dutchman Jordie Classy(89), Brazilian Alex Sandro(89)and Englishman Chris Smalling(89) also joining.

De.fecking.lighted!!



PS: Now, if Man Utd want to withdraw their bid on Benteke, it wouldn't be frowned upon

Some auld fellas but some fellas who will keep their rating for another few real life years anyway. I feel Ibe could get a go with the Liverpool first team or a loan to a Premiership club this year so his rating could rocket

EDIT: Up to 20 players in my squad now with a small chance that some people might cancel their deal for other players I bid on to prioritise other targets and I'll get those too. With the 20 players anyway I will still have just under 100m to spend so I'm in a fairly decent position i think

GT_TDI_150

Victor Moses for 3.7m :cool:

Colemania

Add Granit Xhaka to my list of players :cool:

I bid triple value on Kagawa (and won). I really wanted him, both as a massive fan, and as someone needing a player to replace Januzaj till he is ready.

Also seem to have picked up Janko, Lingard, Powell and Lawrence. Hoping LVG gives hem runs this season. naingolan heading my way too for 9m.

circadian

27.5M on Kagawa, ya loon! I thought I was pushing the boat out with 18m, you showed me up :pac:

Only because I let you have him

I got some 90 rated players for between 5.6 and 6.5 million so delighted with that

Grand, as a Villa man it's important to have at least one Villa player on me team.

Seaneh

Players I think I have so far I cancelled all the bids I had on players who I don't need any more because I secured my primary targets or players who I was completely out bid for:

GK:
Butland - 4.2m
Crango - 3.8m


Laporte - 20m
Umtiti - 11.1m
Tah - 3.7m
Dier - 2.9m
Vrsaljko - 6.2m

M:
Taider - 4.8m
Joao Mario - 2.8m
Kondogbia - 8.8m
Maher - 15m
Cristante - 1.3m
Ward-Prowse - 6.5m
Traore - 705k
Redmond - 7.5m
Iturbe - 14.9m
Bernard -17m

F:
Berardi - 12m
Lassoga - 8.7m
Batshuayi - 13m
Petagna - 743k



Outside hope of also singing Markovic for 14m if Inter pull out. If not I'll be going for another few defenders.

All of these combined (including Markovic) scrape in at 180.1, which will leave me with 1.3m in the bank.

Colemania

I should have a full squad by tonight or the morning so if anyone else has a full squad you can challenge me to a friendly. Atletico Madrid

EDIT: Nevermind, i didn't know you couldn't play friendlies before the season started in this league

KERSPLAT!

I'm about 8m over budget but can't decide on who to cancel!! Have a good mixture of youth and experience

These are accepted and I have top bid:
ONGENDA, Hervin
GREEN, Julian
HÖJBJERG, Pierre
GNABRY, Serge
MOTTA, Thiago 5m!! :eek:
PIAZÓN, Lucas
REKIK, Karim
WERNER, Timo
LODYGIN, Yuri
DROGBA, Didier Two bids of 8m in so we'll see what happens with him
BLASZCZYKOWSKI, Jakub
PASTORE, Javier
STONES, John
ICARDI, Mauro
BARTRA, Marc
RAMIRES, Santos
CAN, Emre Went way over the top but I think he's gonna be great at Liverpool
GUSTAVO, Luiz
ZELALEM, Gedion


Still in for two more which sends me over the budget so I'll have to sort something out. Some job getting down from near 1 billion to 155m

Seaneh

Not gonna lie, I was pissed you beat me for Werner... hoor.

KERSPLAT!

I was beat for Tielemans

I had him but let him go. Wouldn't have even made my match day squad and wasn't worth sacrificing other players I really wanted just to get him.
