County Fantasy Manager 2014

So i technically may have only signed 1 player thus far..

also what is round 2? Is it still bidding on players from round 1, just trying to increase the bids?

Nope. Now it is a straight shootout on all the rest. You can rebid on those you lost in round 1, or if you bid on any other player and have the highest bid, you get them....

Pretty much as Sussex says:

Auction

Okay. This is how the auction is going to work:

£1,500,000 to spend in an auction that will have a maximum of 4 rounds. The minimum differential level between bids will be £10,000: i.e. you could bid £10,000, £50,000 or £250,000 for a player, but not £25,000 or £30,001.

Round 1

The highest bidder for a player in round 1 is guaranteed the final bid. They cannot be outbidded without having a chance to counter. This will give a big advantage to people bidding high in round 1 for the top players. It gives them control.

Round 2

In this round people have the chance to outbid the leading bidder. If nobody outbids the leading bidder, that player is won.

Players can also bid for anyone who wasn't bidded for in round 1. If they are the only one, they will win that player. (it would be logical for people to only bid list price for the players who didn't receive a bid in round 1.)

Round 3

In this round the leading bidder from Round 1 can respond to the Round 2 bids by bidding £10,000 more than the highest Round 2 bid, if they choose to, and will automatically win the player.

Any player who didn't receive a bid in round 1, but multiple managers bidded for in round 2, can be bidded on again by anyone who bidded in round 2. The highest bidder will win that player.

Anyone who hadn't been bidded on at this point will go to the highest bidder after this round.

Round 4

This round will just be for anyone who hasn't spent all their money, to pick up any players that are still available. This round will be a blind auction, with the team bidding the most for each player being allocated them.

How much do I have left to spend ?

Sussex, can you repost your KP based team name (or another one - seen as you haven't bid for him ) and colour choice? Your original post got lost in the midweek shenanigans!

As promised, these are the bids that are leading the auction after round one, including those that needed tiebreakers to denote who had the "leading" bid:
