That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure I didn't screw myself by following the rules.
This process will probably last weeks. There is no urgency to bid on a player until the countdown timer puts you in danger of losing him.
I have a predetermined number of players targeted between the two leagues. I've had to bid on exactly one so far.
There needs to be a random or multiplier FA signing effect.
That is, to say, there would be more urgency to sign players if there was a 7% chance that a FA would accept it's current bid.
The multiplier effect could be something like after a bid reaches the average number for a player at that position, a bid of 30% or higher automatically wins the player. Sort of the whole "they rolled out the red carpet and I couldn't say no" thing.
I understand wanting to avoid bid sniping, but I'll keep bumping in $1 increments and waiting three days to get a player without overpaying.
Now,if I knew that I could go offer Richard Sherman 30% over his current bid and automatically win his services?
That would have been done, and just like in real life, everyone would say after the fact how much higher than that they would have gone.
Since it's not like that, I'll just bid up $1 if he gets to less than 3 hours left.
