Hi, I just joined and made some bids for some players which I thought were deals. However I've realized I can get much better players for the same price. Is there any way to withdraw a bid because I can't seem to find one. I'd really appreciate help. Please respond ASAP! Thank you very much.

Nope. You can't withdraw bids.

Umm.... Why not mate?

EDIT: Can anyone tell me why bids can't be withdrawn?

That's the way that the developers made the game.

Why would you bid if you weren't willing to pay the price?

Because as I said. I just joined the game and didn't realize the value of players. Doesn't this seem a little unfair?

It's unfortunate, but I don't think it's unfair. Regardless of what you or I think, though, that's what the rule is and I doubt it will ever change.

Most players on the transfer list have a little blurb that says that the going rate for players like them is. The comparisons aren't perfect, but they're generally decent and should give you a good idea of what you're dealing with.

Ok first of all let me say this. The sites format is not easy to comprehend, it's confusing starting into this game and I have no idea what's going on. I try and improve my team by buying players but then I realize I'm getting ripped off. So why can't I simply withdraw my bid? I mean don't you think you're asking to much from new members? It's just a simple withdraw tool!

So, what happens when you withdraw your bid? Who has the highest bid then? If there were no earlier bids the worst thing that can happen is that the seller keeps his player. Even this has negative implications (e.g., the seller goes bankrupt), and it is good to understand that placing a bid may keep others from buying the player they want for the price they consider appropriate. If there were earlier bids, does the earlier bidder then have the highest bid? What if they already spent their money on a transfer that finished earlier? Do they still need to buy this player and perhaps face a forced sale of another player or bankruptcy? Is that fair?

Placing a bid is a commitment to buy the player for that price. Making that commitment affect not just your team but various other teams in the community.

If you withdraw your bid and nobody else has a bid in the player simply doesn't get sold. That's the chance you take when putting the player on the transfer list. A player may not get sold. So saying that it can get a seller bankrupt could've been the exact same case, regardless of if a manager put in a bid for the player and then withdrew. So whoever's bid was in at the end gets the player, simple as that.

And what if you're new (like me) and don't really know the average price for certain players. Then the commitment wasn't just because I had no idea of the value.

The main reason that this doesn't exist is because it opens the door for all sorts of abuse.

Consider for a second I am selling a player for $3 millions. There are usually no bids until very late in the transfer period. So what happens if one of my league opponents decides to sabotage me and goes out and bids $10 million on this guy 1 hour before deadline, and then withdraws his bid 3 minutes before deadline?

The end result is that my player is not getting sold, and that if I am not online monitoring the transfer deadline, I might well not realize why.

Additionally, I don't see how asking new members to be prudent before they spend any sort of money is too much. People do it every day outside of BB, why not do it in here too?


First of all I don't see how that's abuse. In the end you don't sell your player which is a possibility you realize when you put your player on the transfer list. And if you don't realize why he didn't get sold, you'd know he withdrew his bid due to that being the only possibility.

Well I wasn't told anywhere the value of players and to watch out my spending. I just got in there and wasn't told anything about how much to spend for what. Because we don't do it in here, that's the point.
