Bloody managers who appear from nowhere and bid on quality players that I want!
Entered an auction tonight for a 29Q MC/ML with Dribbling SA. He's not essential to my team, but I could do with a few players who are flexible and it's always nice to get one with SA. So rounds 1-3 see me ease three other Level 2 managers out of the bidding and after round 4 it's just one other rookie left. As I bid early in round 4 I decide to check out their stats (I usually do this early to get an idea of who I'm up against, but sometimes it's hard to do when many players are bidding)
Their key team stats (from memory, approx): Avg Age 33, Avg Qty 14, Joined Nov 8th 2012, Budget 13m, Stadium 13,000, Team Value 753k
WTF?!
Clearly doesn't play the game at all, as only gained one promotion in 6 months. Currently rock bottom of the league with a 100% losing record. Squad is so bare that they have no GK, and so having to play a 0-1-1-1-4-1-3 formation. BUT - has big stadium and budget for this level and so I assumed they would have a few tokens to bid with
They double bid in round 7 and that was enough for me to get out - I tend to stop around then anyway and the price was now above the player's value, and at 25 yrs I don't think I could get the value up much
Why is this manager p****** me off by going in for bids that it's pointless for them to enter because frankly their season is over already!
RANT RANT RANT
I feel about 10% better now, so that's good I guess :-)
