So I thought, perhaps this is a quiet moment in the market, chance for me. So two minutes later there was another player, not as good - older, lower quality, no SA but still a player I would take after such a long wait. I chucked in a token in the initial round. I watched knockout round 1 - 6 bidders, so I stayed out. Eventually he went in round 16, for more than triple his market value. Madness.

I'll never stop thinking about the one that got away this season.
I have had that a fair few times in the past where I was tempted to go for a player, but thought others will bid at the last second like it usually does, but no one ends up bidding/

I can slightly top that though. How about attempting to bid for a player with 6 seconds left on the clock but, due to the crappy phone signal, the bid doesn't go through in time(!!) and you see that no one else went for the player either?
