Team Changes Post Auction
At any point in the season - if you want to drop a certain a player from your team - You will have to Initiate a SUBSTITUTION request in the Whatsapp Group stating 1)Player you would like to ADD 2) Starting Bid (minimum 5,000 $) 3) Player you would like to drop from your squad. Upon your message - Other managers will have 24 Hours to either OPT OUT of this bid by sending a "OPT OUT ON PLAYER A" message - or they can join your Substitution Bid and try to outbid if they want the same player as you. The new Player will be awarded once all managers have either opted out of the bid or someone has claimed it via highest BID and the old player dropped from your team.
If the MAX BID is same for 2 managers - priority will be given to person who first enters the Bid on the Chat group. When managers go ALL IN on a bid - we will give priority to the lower ranked player as of bid end time.
Once a player is dropped - he returns to the unsold pool of players and can be claimed by any other manager later including the manager that original dropped the player.
Please be mindful of the fact that you only have 100,000 Spare budget for the entire season for substitution changes- Please use it wisely and do not run out of money on a single player else you will loose the capability to make a change if you run out money.
