BSM Draft League

ctrl-alt-delete · 14-06-2014 5:32pm #1

Welcome to the new thread for the Boards SoccerManager Draft League.

It took a bit of doing but all 16 managers have now drafted their first 11 players, and so 176 picks later we are ready to enter into the next phase and the Gameworld has become a reality.

Below is the final table of the drafted players, a masterpiece and an aid for making sure the remaining players we all need have not already been drafted!

-- Manager -- | -- Team -- | # | ---- GK ---- | ---- DEF ---- | ---- MID ---- | ---- ATT ---- | ---- WC1 ---- | ---- ----

For those that don't like tables, click here for a list in alphabetical order if you want to check, or for those who want to double check!

THE RULES

Players can only bid on their own drafted players and must ensure they sign these players as soon as possible.
A balance of £300Million has been given, which players need to manage to ensure they sign all their drafted players and also sign enough players to make the minimum squad size of 21 before the matches begin.
There is a maximum squad size of 30 players for your clubs First Team.
You can have as many players as you want in your Youth Team (U-21), when these players reach 22 they are automatically placed by the game in your First Team - you need to move them on or make room for them to ensure the Maximum First Team squad cap of 30 is adhered to. Players ages only change at the end of a season and so this cap needs to be met before Matchday 1 of each season.
Other than that the image below indicates the remaining Gameworld rules

Where we are now:

At the moment no manager is allowed to sign any player. The Gameworld is still not officially open and so at time of posting this no bids can be made anyway.

As it stands Sunday 15th is the day when i predict we will be able to make bids on our drafted players, and no other players.

Monday 16th is when i predict we will be able to bid on all remaining players, I don't think anyone should run out of money, but keep in mind you need to sign 21 players so try to budget and ensure no bidding war stifles your ability to do this.

For both of these I will give word on this thread and by means of a GW PM to let people know that it is ok to go ahead with transfers.

Lastly thank you to all who have decided to participate in this Gameworld!

We're able to bid on players now, for anyone who's online and wants to bid on their draft picks!

KERSPLAT! · 15-06-2014 12:35am

Wait, we can't bid on externals yet?

No. Ctrl doesn't want us bidding on non-draft players until Monday.

Lord TSC · 15-06-2014 6:34am

First team is going to cost me 159m.

Yikes, that's half my budget :S

GT_TDI_150 · 15-06-2014 6:56am

First (drafted) team offers logged with the respective agents, handlers and sports mgnt companies.

jukebox2310 · 15-06-2014 7:17am

First 11 coming in just over 156.5m. Hopefully there are a lot if free agents left available and that just to get the squad to 21

OK it is OK to go ahead with bidding on your drafted players

Just bid on mine, comes in at £152.5M so just over half.

Lord TSC · 15-06-2014 9:13am

Yeap, noticed two players were bid on and then the bids cancelled.

KERSPLAT! · 15-06-2014 11:07am

Wilberto · 15-06-2014 11:46am

The cost of my draft XI is coming to a grand total of €136.3m.

Seaneh · 15-06-2014 1:58pm

11 bids made to a total of £118.5M

Looks like I'll have some money to throw around

circadian · 15-06-2014 2:00pm

£140 Million here, 10 free agents. A nice kitty to fill the squad with.

Mr Blobby · 15-06-2014 2:18pm

145.7M.. Not terrible

I am interested in who will become the first to shaft a draft in a few months, we have already heard De Rossi has failed to impress!

Understandable for yourself considering you did not draft him!

KERSPLAT! · 15-06-2014 6:54pm

Blah blah blah, don't mind me. Blame the Heineken

Seaneh · 15-06-2014 6:54pm

nothing to see here... move along...

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-06-2014 8:02pm

Just letting people know that tomorrow (Monday 16th) from 09:00am we will be free to bid on whoever we want, obviously excluding the drafted players.

Please ensure to check if players are drafted as some will remain due to some clubs having drafted more than 1 player from 1 club.

Please also remember your budget!

Please leave it until after 09:00am as i still count early morning hours as Sunday

KERSPLAT! · 15-06-2014 8:03pm

I'll be hungover, will start bidding about 3pm

Lord TSC · 16-06-2014 7:54am

Tick took goes the clock,
The draft is soon upon us.

Tick...tock...goes the clock...

The bids begin in earnest.....

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-06-2014 9:04am

The amount you can bid between is massive!

Was not expecting it to be that much.

I think my proposed transfer total might run into the Billions when I'm done making offers ... not necessarily due to amounts bid, just the sheer number of player

Lord TSC · 16-06-2014 1:51pm

Only one player I'm going to go overboard on bidding for, and that's cause I need someone higher than Januzaj so know it's a nessecary bid

KERSPLAT! · 16-06-2014 1:54pm

I've 500m worth of bids gone in. Will only the first few be accepted because I only have 150m or will they all be accepted but will then be cancelled because of lack of funds?

Seaneh · 16-06-2014 2:01pm

I think they will all be accepted...
