Football Auction Draft

Was thinking of starting a football draft ,depending on the interest.

Basically the same rules as marc's Cricket Auction draft with footballers.

Auction draft

Auction draft II - ODI

Everyone is given a budget of 300 million and have to pick 13 players and then put trim them down to a final 11.

All time players who have played confedration football at the top division level are allowed.

Emails to be sent at BSAUCTIONDRAFT@GMAIL.COM

Who would be interested please mention here and also send in your E-mails with first round nominations ,Usernames confirming your participation.

This is a example of how it works-


Suppose there are 4 participants-

schwuppe
PDG1978
Karloski
Rambo

Now for round 1 of the draft i receive nominations from these 4 of one player each which are as follows via E-mail @ bsauctiondraft@gmail.com-

schwuppe - Pele
PDG1978 - Maradona
Karloski - Maradona
Rambo - Anton Ferdinand

Now since Maradona is nominated twice i nominate cruyff instead.

And list the available players for round 1 as

Pele
Diego Maradona
Johann Cruyff
Anton Ferdinand

Now the bids i get from schwuppe are

Pele- 55 million
Maradona -34 million
Cruyff - 63 million
Anton Ferdinand - 2 million

the bids from PDG1978 are-

Pele- 57 million
Maradona -38million
Cruyff - 22 million
Anton Ferdinand - 3 million


the bids from Karloski are-

Pele- 23 million
Maradona -31million
Cruyff - 20 million
Anton Ferdinand - no bid


the bids received from Rambo are-

Pele- 52 million
Maradona -32million
Cruyff - 21 million
Anton Ferdinand - 4 million

In this case schwuppe gets Cruyff for 63 million and has 300 - 63= 237 million left to pick remaining 12 players out of which he has to select 10 eventually.

Then PDG1978 gets Pele for 57 million and has 300-57 =243 million left for the remaining 12 rounds.

Rambo then gets Maradona for 32 million and has 268 million left.

But since Karloski does not have a valid winning bid ,he gets Anton Ferdinand for the 3rd highest bid i.e 32 million.

Bear in mind though i do not disclose the winning amount for each player at any time or that how much each player has left.
