I'm suggesting optional buyouts. People would only pick the optional buyout option if they want liquidity. In a market where values are more transparent buyouts would work. WIth the lack of transparency on player value ATM I can see some concerns of people manipulating and not being detected, as you suggested 150 folks got caught cheating last week or something like that.

Where did you get that data? Were those people caught multi-accounting or just overpaying a friend??

into the tools section there is a categorie, report cheaters there you have stats about banned cheaters of this week. Additional stats for what they got banned aren't there, but for overpaying are often just fines to regulate prices.

but how you make it, i am not going to view sold players. This would make the transferlist more in transparent if you see buyouts 3 days without beeing able to buy them when they would be still on list. If you make it on a extra page, nobody would be looking.

because a GM is not a BB, but I also think this exact idea has no future and very little support.

MisterSan, let this one go. I'm sure you can come up with some other ideas. My experience is that if I bid approximately 90% of what I think the player is worth* I get him for that price almost every time. When I start out making the minimum bid and only raising minumum, I tend to end up without the player or paying more than he is worth, regretting that I didn't place a decent first bid. That way less people bookmark him in the search of bargain players, reducing the chance that daytraders buy that exact reinforcement I so desperately need and have used weeks to find (or will use weeks to find another like him)

*There are seldom TPE's on the ones I need, or they are gravely wrong in my opinion, since I have a lot of criterias including; minimum levels in almost all skills (all my players have some OD), relative FG% according to league strength, experience at least respectable if over 21, my gutfeeling, and a nice appearance, among others.
