hmm...

free agents....lots of money.... free....lots of money....

This doesn't sound right, free should be free. ;)

But indeed you are right.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

yeah lets put loads of players up for sale at double the going rate OR ask 2-3mil for average players!!

or lets put up players for sale for 400-600k and get a mate to place an opening bid inside the first hour of them going up for sale so you have the money ready......

lets hope that whatever Free Agents are available fall into the hands of genuine teams because already there are signs of big money shifting into the hands of the unscrupulous! (is that the correct spelling?)

this may not be an altogether helpful post...but am hoping that maybe it gets back to someone important...

on the discussion of Free Agents...i was thinking to make this a little more NBA Style...there should be a Free Agent pool where all the players that are simply fired (not placed on Transfer List but simply fired)...are put into the Free Agent pool and that you wouldn't have to buy them to be on your team...just pick em up and pay their Salary...

Now mind you...the Free Agent pool wouldn't be a very deep talented list because if someone can sell a player...they are gonna do that first...so it will consist of those players that someone tried to sell and no one wanted...but...for those teams that are just starting out and who are in low divisions and don't yet have much money or a solid financial system up and running...it's a good way to pick up some players to add depth to their team without going bankrupt...

hm, first of all, it would be useless, since players that are sold for 1000 will be obviously better since they are not fired imediatly, and I can imagine that even starting teams would have 5000 to 10000 to spare on some new players.

second it's heaven for cheaters as they can fire the best players in their co-team(s) and imediatly respond with picking them up for their main team, getting them for free.
And yes asking 10 friends who aren't realy interested in playing BB to sign up and fire their players at an exact timepoint so 1 team can pick them up for free is exactly what will happen on large scale since there is no way BB can detect who honestly tried to sign up and then got frustrated for none apparent reason and fired all his players before he quit, and which deliberatly signed up just to be able to do this trick...

yeah, it would be really problematic.

MAYBE- Free agents could be listed for free, and the transfer would be free. Instead teams could bid on the players wages i.e bidding to offer him the highest wage and therefore signing him for nothing.

So, instead of bidding on a transfer price, bidding on a transfer wage :)

hm.
your brain works in odd ways... ;)

I don't see how anyone would be interested in going into a bidwar on wages for a lousy player, while there are tons on the market with normal wages for ready to be bought for only 1000$
Or maybe because this way one could get free players with a wage of 1$/week...

why is this odd?

if you were going to spend 500k on a player and planned to keep for 3.5 years (for examples sake) thats 50 odd weeks so 10k per week + the 6k odd he would be worth on the market... this is more interesting than an out and out price war but alas wont stop the teams that cheat obtaining the lions share of them... whichever way you structure it.

as for the players that people are listing for 1mil plus (as mentioned earlier in thread!) thats effectively the same as bidding up to 25-30k per week in wages... which adds a new dimension on the game.. you could then include salary caps relative to club income that would be one way to prevent teams stocking up and trading the markets....
