English Premier League VIII | Round 13

[Dipak]

Wont change my team name & city because I already did the honors last season.

 

[BKB1991]

Yea I would continue. An auction would be great, I have been trying alot to get the squad bumped with such few resources available. Same team name for the time being

 

[Iridium]

Update #2​

I'm planning to start the auction on Sunday 10th June. I'll be posting the local auction list and rules in the next few days in order to allow you guys to plan who you want to go for.

 

[Dipak]

Not a Sunday

 

[Iridium]

Not a Sunday

Why not?

 

[Dipak]

Because I don't have time to come on Weekends. Can you pleease keep it on Monday.

 

[Iridium]

The reason I made it a weekend was because that's when most people actually have the time to come on.

I'll see what others say.

 

[harrisb]

I'm easy, I don't think it matters too much if you can't make it on the first day, as long as you come on within 24 hours of the auction starting then you won't miss too much.

I might be playing cricket in the afternoon, but I think due to timezones that the auction will have already started. So I don't mind when you start it.

 

[Iridium]

Update #3​

The auction will start on Sunday June 10th depending on whether I'm free that day (my friend's wedding is the day before). If not, then it will start on Monday June 11th.

Here's the local auction list. Base prices could change between now and the auction:

I'll post the rules closer to the auction date.

I'm currently toying around with the idea of injuries. The method is still in testing.

 

[Sartaj]

I'll not make any plans this time around and go with the instincts instead.
As much as I'd like to go the CSK way and reassemble a similar team,it's almost impossible to do so.
Pinning my hopes on the trading window as I tend to overspend on certain players I'm fond of.

 

[Dipak]

The list looks great

 

[Iridium]

Pinning my hopes on the trading window as I tend to overspend on certain players I'm fond of.

I wouldn't. Because it's an auction, the trade window will be small and I'll be real strict about how long it goes.

 

[harrisb]

I think the rule on the trade window should be:

Open for x days, with a max of y trades per team.

This would stop both those who want more time to complete trades, and those who trade loads of players

 

[BKB1991]

Hmm, I would prefer it to be delayed for a few days as I will be travelling but it shouldnt really be too much of a problem I believe.

 

[Haarithan]

June 10 is totally on for me. Bring it on!
