New to OFL - Auction

Post by cheeruplutontown »

Hi Guys,

This is my first year trying this type game - my auction is in a couple of weeks - i was wondering if the past seasons scores are available anywhere (i know 13/14 is on the website).

Also any auction advice for a newbie - i was thinking of breaking the bank for Rooney & Van Persie early doors then sitting it out to try and pick up some more under the radar players later

Cheers

Dave

I don't think many of us here play the auction version, the discussion is more about the classic game. For an auction I'd doubt that many players are truly under the radar, so you may not get the bargains you count on. A good way to ensure you get value is to look at 'points per million' that would mean a player is worth the money you are spending on them. For example if you think Rooney is going to get 80 points, and you work out that 5 points per million is good value for each position, then Rooney's ideal price for you is 80/5 = 16 million. Any more than that and you don't want to buy him. That's the method I've used in other auction games at least.

Hi Dave,

1) For previous history of individual footballer 2) To trigger the interest of passing FISOns with experience of the Professional game
  • - try changing thread title to, say, 'New to OFL Auction' (by amending Subject line in opening post).

Is this for a live auction or a sealed bid auction?
Different tactics required

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the advice re - the points per million - it's a live auction not sealed bids

Cheers

Sealed bids time now - De Jong has to go because of his injury but not sure who to go for - considering ditching Wiltshire too

These are the free agents ive got an eye on - who are the top 2 out of this lot?

James Ward Prose (Sou)
Sadio Mane (Sou)
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain (Ars)
James McCarthy (Eve)
Aiden McGeady (Eve)
Hatem Ben Arfa (Hul)
Leroy Fer (QPR)
Oussama Assaidi (Sto)
Victor Mosses (Sto)
Sebastian Larsson (Sun)
Nathan Dyer (Swa)
Wayne Routlege (Swa)
Nacer Chadli (Tot)
Stewart Downing (Wes)
Mark Noble (Wes)

These should be good for a solid 20 points:

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain (Ars)
Leroy Fer (QPR)
Victor Mosses (Sto)
Sebastian Larsson (Sun)
Nathan Dyer (Swa)
Wayne Routlege (Swa)
Stewart Downing (Wes)
Mark Noble (Wes)

I'd say Ben Arfa and Chadli have the potential for 30-40 points, if they hold down key player roles for their respective teams.
