[Biggy]

Yeah,its fine now but make sure that there's a proper understanding between you two.
Anyway,i'll go through the SG (it may take about 30-45 minutes) and update the situation asap.

Sort this out Mr.Modi! :laugh

 

[Sartaj]

LOL,done.
OMG! This is hard work! :laugh

 

[Biggy]

The people who spend the most on domestic players will win. There are what, 80 overseas players in the comp? Even if you get the scraps of them you will still be able to get 8 very decent players.

 

[Sartaj]

I think that's what MCC are doing ATM.

 

[AkshayS]

We've spent nearly 702k on each player.

I think too many people are talking about MCC too much.
MCC had some serious plans over the auction but that went wrong with 3 players we bidded, MCC is already looking a world class team already.

The only problem is those 3 players gone wrong(I wont disclose) and we might suffer due to that.

CHELMSFORD: Neil Dexter ($275,000), Geraint Jones ($325,000), Owais Shah ($775,000), Luke Wright ($650,000), Rory Hamilton-Brown ($300,000), Jamie Dalrymple ($350,000), Mike Munday ($200,000), Dominic Cork ($400,000), Graham Onions ($625,000)

I guess This players are good to choose!

I see that as exploiting the system. Their team's total worth will be in excess of 10mil by the end of this.

Yep, because in the end they will most likely be getting their international players for free, but that's just the way the auction is being run. Really all players should have a base price, then place your bids, and you should have to BUY all 17 players within your 7 mil cap.

 

[Chewie]

tbh I may as well go and outbid everyone on all the good English players, leave myself no vCash for the international auction and get the scraps. That is if I didn't already have bids on players. Monzi should go do that.

 

[CG123]

This is exactly what WI did in the WPL auction.
He spend all his money in the early rounds, and I tried to explain to bcvs what you are saying now, but he didn't change it.
They will get 8 INT players at 200k each, plus there 6.5 mill on DOM players meaning there total budget will be 9 mill...
You should have to buy all your players within 7 mill.

That wasn't the rule, simple.
If that would've been, We'd have gone the other way.

Nothing can be done now.

 

[CG123]

FFS, also just got outbid on one of my random DOM players, so many people are just placing random bids.
