I've found the bug. It was a fairly tricky thing to track down. We have some complicated logic in there to reduce the load on the page, since you can imagine how intensive it can be to search millions of players for one who meets some search criteria every time someone loads a page as common as the Manage My Team overview page.

In any case, I think I now have it fixed. Please let me know if you or anyone still has problems with the system.

Right now:

My current saved search: min salary $20K, nationality Canada
On the t/l: 9 matching players, some of which I have sufficient bids to bid on
On MMT: A ~$50K salary Spanish center with a $2.7M bid

So, yes, I still have problems with the system.

Edit: Logged out and in just in case. It's now a $15K salary Turkish SG.

Those give me the following player (2805590), who is Canadian and has a 30k salary.

So, the problem isn't a bug, it's the intended (but perhaps incorrectly so) behavior. The search looks for players whose current bid is between 60% and 80% of your available funds (money - bids). So, it's not that there are no players in the desired range -- rather, unless you specify a bid price range it's going to look only within the 60-80%, and there didn't happen to be any players *there*.

I've run a check, and there happen to be 0 players with those criteria in your 60% - 80% range.

If you keep it that way, then I think it would be wise to present this information clearly somewhere to the end user. There's no way I would have expected it to only consider that range by default... from the outside, it appears badly broken.

I personally don't think you should keep it that way. Anything up to 100% sounds reasonable to me, with the nearest expiring auction being presented when there are multiple matches. Actually, maybe any match at all regardless of cost, perhaps with a toggle in the preferences for suppressing players you can't currently afford. But I'm not your Product Manager.

Thanks for the advice. I think I may have a potential solution, but I'll need to test it out first to make sure it scales.
