    Hi all, hope there's one of you out there who can help me...

    There's a player transfer listed at the moment who I desperately want whose bidding ends at 11/09/2006 1:05am battrick time. Trouble is I only have 4 million in the bank and he could to end up going for 5.5 mil+

    So I need to know if I was to transfer list these players in the next 24 hours could I count on big early bids on them from any of you guys? Obviously don't want you to bid more than they're worth just enough to get me enough cash to buy the player.

    The players are

    Eric Bennett (58002)
    LH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
    A destructive player with feeble leadership skills and feeble experience.

    Plays For: Sherwood CCC
    Nationality: England
    Age: 27 Years Old
    Battrick Rating: 9,042
    Wages: £1,959 p/w

    Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: woeful
    Batting: strong Concentration: competent
    Bowling: worthless Consistency: woeful
    Fielding: woeful

    and

    Owen Dowie (58012)
    RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
    A cautious player with strong leadership skills and woeful experience.

    Plays For: Sherwood CCC
    Nationality: England
    Age: 26 Years Old
    Battrick Rating: 14,303
    Wages: £2,018 p/w

    Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
    Batting: respectable Concentration: competent
    Bowling: proficient Consistency: respectable
    Fielding: feeble

    I would expect Bennet to go for at least 750k so an early bid of about 650k would be great (theres a slightly worse player listed at the moment going for 650k with 2 days left)

    Dowie should fetch well over a million so an early bid of 900k would be awesome.

    Also just to confirm... I would be able to spend the money on bids for them before they were actually sold right? I'm pretty sure thats how it works.

    So could I count on bids on them for anyone here? I need to know whether I'd get enough from them pretty soon so PM me or reply here if your able to bid

    Cheers all

    Andy

    I'll put in a bid on Dowie for 900K right now. Hope it helps.

    EDIT:

    Or I will if you list him :confused:

    Nice one johno, your a lifesaver :)

    They're both listed now... didn't wan't to list them until I was sure there would be some interest cause i'd be pretty screwed if they both sold and I couldn't get the new player...

    Only a few hours to go now and I still don't have a bid on Bennet!

    Considering this player

    Dale Cranie (508989)
    RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
    An attacking player with competent leadership skills and abysmal experience.

    Plays For: Mattchester Earls
    Nationality: Australia
    Age: 23 Years Old
    Battrick Rating: 10,724
    Wages: £2,072 p/w

    Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
    Batting: strong Concentration: feeble
    Bowling: abysmal Consistency: competent
    Fielding: mediocre


    Is going for 870k with nearly a day left I can pretty much guarantee that you won't have to buy him if you bid, and If you were to end up winning you would have an amazing bargain :)

    Getting pretty desperate now, i'll be eternally grateful to anyone who does bid for him in time!

    So... did you get the player you wanted?

    BTW, that last player doesn't seem like a bargain for 870K at all.

    Shit... 100K on a YP and within a season you could have a better player.

    Nope I didn't get him, didn't get a bid on Bennet in time although they both ended up going for well over what I listed them at.

    Cheers again for your bid on Dowie anyway though.

    Luckily another player has been listed who I should be able to get instead, so with the delay in FC matches I shouldn't actually have to play any matches with a weakened team.

    What I meant with the player above (Cranie) is that since he was nearly identical to the player I was selling and was going for 870k, it wouldn't have been a bad deal for someone to have got my player at 650k. Not sure i've explained myself very well there but oh well.
