Thoughts on the auction so far.
Legends of Light - Master Turtle
Net Player Worth 293
Salary 87.9
Balance 19.1
Players bought
1 Summer 76 10
2 Master Ryiro 60 10
4 Hades 53 10
9 Gustave II 21 10
1 timon92 74 10
6 Glamorous❤ 9 5
The club is the first to fill all of their 55 slots. It has two Tier 1 players in Summer and timon92, who seem to be absolute bargains when you look at what some of the other Tier 1 players went for.
The club also have a solid line up with Master Ryiro(easily a Tier 1 player on his day), Hades, Gustave II and Glamorous❤. Given that Greece is one of the templates, I would expect Glamorous❤ to feature in that tournament and cause quite a few upsets.
I really like the balance of this team and well done to their manager. They have 19 Nohhams left in the bank, but I don't expect further activity.
Warsenal WC - Tjoex
Net Player Worth 166
Salary 49.8
Balance 184.2
Players bought
3 Master Atom ◆Elite◆ 28 5
7 Great Expanse 7 5
8 steve1513 6 5
10 OxTheArtist 3 5
4 dodo comander 30 10
5 wakanarai 15 5
2 andy903 77 10
The club has filled 45 of their slots. It has a deep line up with 7 players already. I think managing this club will be challenging, but also a lot of fun! Lots of combinations possible and I'm curious to see how they eventually line up.
andy903 was bought for more than what two Tier 1 players cost, so maybe a bit overpriced, but dodo comander was picked up at the base price, which is an absolute steal! I feel they need one more top player(Tier 1 or 2) to add that little bit of stardust. But given that the club has 141 Nohhams left to spend on players, I would expect them to get their target.
Spuds - hedja
Net Player Worth 259
Salary 77.7
Balance 63.3
Players bought
5 ps 35 10
1 master of desaster 96 10
1 Timinator 126 10
The galacticos are here! Every league needs a Real Madrid, and oh boy do we have one! Overpaid sack of
potatoes who will not live up to their billing? Or brutal domination to blow everyone out of the park? Time will tell, but the club has definitely made all the headlines thus far.
Timinator commands a salary of 37.8 Nohhams. If he plays two 1v1 tournaments, he can make a max of 30 Nohhams if he goes 10-0. So financially, I would expect him to feature in the team games. People have talked about puppeting, but I think that's risky business. It needs a lot of motivation, and I don't see why top players should put in so much hard work for a manager who gives them weak teammates. The club still needs to fill 25 more slots.They have only 48 Nohhams to spend and will be looking for bargain buys going forward.
RandomPlayers - KKND
Balance 223.2
Net Player Worth 136
Salary 40.8
Players bought
5 RandomPlayers Oh 12 5
6 RandomPlayers Turkish 34 10
7 RandomPlayers Super Smoove 34 10
3 RandomPlayers MisterT 21 5
5 RandomPlayers Jefferspin 24 10
6 RandomPlayers Farah♦ 11 5
The club has filled 45 slots as well. It has a more solid look to their line up. They've picked up Jefferspin, Oh, MisterT and Farah♦ at ridiculous prices in my opinion. All of these players can perform on their given day, but you do feel the club needs one top player. Given that they have 171 Nohhams left, and only 1 spot left to fill, I would expect them to go big and get a Tier 1 player.
One of the most efficient managers in the auction so far. Another strategy which many have overlooked, could be to save up money in the bank for next season. I would expect a lot of good players to make themselves available for the next season. If all managers have maxed out their finances this season, you could pick up some Tier 1 players on the cheap.
Robot Unicorns - Kenny • apex
Balance 176.4
Net Player Worth 172
Salary 51.6
Players bought
2 Robot Unicorns Nackickwind 32 5
3 Robot Unicorns Sephiroth 67 10
4 Robot Unicorns Grosshandlaren 37 5
4 Robot Unicorns Tony Sodano 36 10
The club has filled 30 slots so far. It has picked up strong players who've ranked in the top 10 on ladders. Tony Sodano looks like a great buy at 36 Nohhams. The rest seem a bit overpriced, but are more than capable of justifying it. But to shell out 67 on Sephiroth!!!!!? What on earth were you smoking Kenny? Madness I tell you....
The club still has a 135 Nohhmams to spend and are more than capable of attracting a few top tier players.
WTF - Platinum
Balance 297.3
Net Player Worth 79
Salary 23.7
Players bought
8 WTF MarkusBM 12 10
2 WTF Master Miyagi • apex 48 10
3 WTF Mirror 19 5
The club has filled 25 slots so far. It looks the weakest on paper so far. MarkusBM is a bit of an unknown entity(to me), Miyagi and Mirror are solid players who've been acquired at really low prices.
Still a lot of work to be done in the market, but there's a lot of money left to work with.
Given how the auction is progressing, I would expect other clubs to be chasing the top tier players at this point. This may be a great time to pick up some solid players at base prices for this club(and there are many good players left in the pool). The only worry is that the club is drawn into a bidding war for some of the Tier 1-2 players since everyone has about 130+ Nohhams to spend for one player. I wouldn't be surprised if Timinator is not the most expensive player this season.
