Of course R&B. :P I guarantee you guys... I will likely be chasing a fair few of you all. But I can't risk the entire strength of my team in the long run either. I am going for the win and will be avoiding the teams with long PC runs where possible.

From the dates you posted on the front page bidding doesn't start till the 6th of May. That isn't next week...
Or have they changed it??
ML/RB, your prizes have been paid up. Sorry for the delay but I hope you guys understand the delay.

Don't worry about the delay.
Can someone please sign me up :-*
cant find the thread.
Too late now mate. :( Bidding has already started right now.
I wonder if you'll place a bid on me Shaggy? I'm easily the best in Group 1...
Wow not in group 1 this time :D
However second worst rated in group 2 so prob not going to get bid on again just like last season... :(
Only ranked so low cos I have been resting all my stars in the league matches. Will rate close to 150k in the friendlies and on a spin friendly wicket I am quite dominant 8)
Best in group 4! Almost made it to group 5...
3rd worst in group 2 hhahahahahaha
i have been resting because of Pav Cup but now that's finished 8)

lets see how i go my team is young and ready to go and they are training pretty quickly now
The guy running it (Alarakin or something like that) said that all Captains have sent in their bids and we'll likely know our franchises tommorrow or the day after :D.
Hooray :)
HP got 5 bids :o Daz and Q got 4 :o On the flip side ML and CF didn't get one team bidding on them
I'm just happy I got a bid or two. CF didn't get any bids... ;)

I should be in Group 2 that's why. I'm the 2nd best in my group and I got more bids than the best who got less than 4. CF and ML got no bid, meanwhile Freddy didn't either and said this in the thread:
QuoteI got no bids!!!!!
I signed a player to boost my ratings by 5k so see which lucky team will get me!
EDIT:
PS- Plz be shaggys team!

Hey I did pretty well last season :P
I knew I wouldn't get a bid since I had been placed in group 2 and was ranked second worst there. I guess the teams didn't bother to check that I actually rate just under 150k in friendlies, not the 120k and stuff I was rating in league matches...
So twice I have entered the Giants Cup and twice I have received no bids. Maybe I shouldn't play next time...
I think Shaggy would want anyone BUT freddy on his team :P
Good to see I got bidded on :)
CF if you got no bids it doesn't mean no one wants you, it means they want other people before you :P
Haha that's a nice way to look at it Q ;)
how many bids did i get probs not many
Quote from: cookie311993 on April 29, 2011, 02:58:59 PM

You can only see if you got 4,5 or 0. You can't tell if you got 1,2, or 3
well at least i know i got 1,2 or 3. hopefully i get a good franchise
Looks like Shaggy got me ;D
First bid results are out
Here's who's gone so far
Team Shaggy

Boomz
GS
Team Pjunwal
Fletch
BB

Edit: Added the second round (It was just Hilly) now we wait to see where CF and ML get allocated to.
how do you see them?

On the Indian page cookie on the FTP forums
yeah my bad i realised that and had a look. My franchise is pretty strong i must say. I am not far off from being the weakest side
Thankgod I'm not with BP :-X Just joking ;)
My franchise is looking good...
I wanted to be on team Shaggy :(
Oh well, let's go HP and Hilly!
Hell Yer! Allocations! ;D

I'm shocked I'm in such demand :o. 5/8 Captains put in a bid for me and sold for $83k which isn't bad for second group I suppose :P. Think the upsets are helping a bit now :P. Daz should have gotten more though surely after being MVP last season :P.

Unlucky Shaggy but at least you got Daz, Boomzie and GS who are no pushovers 8).
How many games do we play? An unbeaten season won't be hard for me...
With 8 franchises you will play 7 games then finals if you make it ;)
Dont know how you can be so confident Q, you lost to a bot :P
I rested 3/4 of my team :-*
Still a loss to a bot :P
What do you normally rate Q??
130-135
Plus it used to be a team then it got deactivated...
CF is allocated to Team Ranti
ML is allocated to join Barlow :P
Ok. Ranti's a really good manager person thing so you're lucky CF.
Let's go Team Idontknowthename! ;D :P

Good that you got GS though Shaggy!
Yay! I'm with mainak again. Looking forward to the season. Go Shooting Xpress.
Shaggy just out of interest did you bid on me? Which FF members did you bid on?
No, Q, I didn't bid on you as I don't like you and you smell funny... Plus you have a weak team and Menza is shower.
Nah in all seriousness though, I didn't bid for you. Those whom I bid for were:
BOOMZ
R&B
HP
Daz
Myself
Fletch
GS
BP
So a decent chunk of FF in the end o.O!

Menza doesn't get games much anymore :-* Plus I'm the best team in Group 1 8)
Actually you aren't the best team in there... You certainly aren't the highest rating. :P
The other guys don't lose to bots. :>
Which team is better than me? My recent rankings aren't accurate as I haven't played my full strength team once this season I think.
You have to bid for yourself? :o What if you didn't get yourself? :P
ok so apprantly i now have 4 L's in my team now!
Wow just looking through the teams and I just realised that there aren't many FF teams in the group 2 teams so won't be having many FF battles :'(
I have a 50/50 chance of playing Fletch when we take on Tigers, and will play either Hilly or HP when we play Wizards.
Apart from that I wont be playing any FF teams :(
Could play me?
You are in group 3 though ML, so no I can't
Don't think it matters what group. I thought captains decided between them who they wanted to play who.
A guy in group 1 can play a guy in group 3 CF, it's just unlikely. I think I'm the only FF Group 1 player - Daz might be my group not sure.
Nah you play the teams from your group to make it even

Sorry CF, I've been given the wrong details.
You can be pitted up against any player at any time but that takes the fairness out of it. Chances are most likely that you will be playing someone from the same group as you are from or one above yours as it creates a more fun and enjoyable tournament for everyone involved.

Fixtures for Round 1 are out for my team.
