Why do managers start their auctions at zero? 18/10/2013 01:43

If they just want to sell for whatever the market will pay. 18/10/2013 02:12

They are eager to let the player go without firing him,so they don't care about the prize.

It also helps in increasing the base of managers who'll be willing to bid.. Many times it led to bidding war and the player get sold for extra amount than usual.. Like few days back, I put up a junior CF (84 prog as far as I remember) for 50M starting price. Nobody bid on him. Then I put him up for 0 and many managers bid on him and he eventually get sold for 58M. But remember it is risky to always go this way.. 18/10/2013 21:23

Wow that is incredible! I find myself bidding someone up often too.

It's also worthy to note, it helps avoid some problems with fiscals. If you sell your player for $0.00, whatever price you get, you get. Unless of course it is way out of the norm like an 80avg player selling for 1 million. ( but that's rather highly unlikely) 18/10/2013 23:10
