Subject: Max bid

Auto-bidding would just create traders. People who would benefit the most are the people who area willing to constantly browse the market and try to buy as many players as possible for cheap. That is the point of auto-bidding, you are willing to pay a certain price, but you want to buy for less if possible.

Managers who don't have much time to play, would ironically, hate this feature, because instead of helping them with their disadvantage of rarely being online, they would need to constantly search for players and trade to stay competitive.

I would only support this feature as "once in a while" thing, like once a week.

Combination with limit number of players in squad and limit numbers of buys sell per specific period could fix that

Or something like that, but the feature would definitely need some sort of limitation.

Well... I think this sugestión is not focused on traders. This is about making the market more global, more balanced despiste the time zone and less time consuming for those last min bids.
For traders may need to do some other stuffs like sviktorov said

That's why American players are best sold within American time and so are Asian players. That is the key for your regions to gain strength within your teams

I am sorry but I dont know the first guy in latín América who prefers to sell in america's time zone instead of europe TZ because it will be better sold

Actually many times I have sold lets say around 00:00 hrs sk time, knowing that my player is gonna be sold cheaper but I have arranged this with another user from my country, this for training and NT goals.

It's not for the better sell, but for the better buy!

But maybe all teams needs to have a maximum of intercontinental players within his team.
F.e... all teams should have a maximum of 5 players who are not from their continent.
This will stimulate people to buy continental players over intercontinental...

I believe some player restrictions will make this game a better football manager game in stead of a manager game with players as currency.
My opinion...

Max 30 players per team, maximum 15 foreigners per team and maximum 5 intercontinental players out of the 15 foreigners.

they can make max bid or not, no problem. I take it both.

but NOT make a maximum foreigners. I like to have different nations in my team.

and what can a manager do, if his country don't have good players ??
in a small sokker-country don't have so much good players, because many bots, and rare real manager with good youth school.

the limit of foreigner is a bad idea, in my opinion.

they would need to constantly search for players and trade to stay competitive.

And so what ? Are you afraid by so many Auto-traders ? :-)

There is already, actually a limit to bid for many players : you can't raise a price for the money you don't have. Traders who bid-by-hand at last minutes now that :-)

The auto-bid system will make traders who spend times on market for the "last minute" at the same level that most users; and that's only a problem for... the traders.

And i am also a better and big fan of direct selling/buying to avoid the "last minutes" trading.

This discussion already happen., (also auto-bidding proposal). With already the same users (and arguments) than this topic.

In any cases, direct buy/auto-bid or just the system like now we need a database price comparison tool to check the "cheaters" and all users need a clue in-game about the average transfer prices. That's not a big deal : The algorithm compare the prices for the same position/skills/age/week of season and calculate the average prices. That's how and actually admins (should) deals to find the "cheaters" by hand.

A link check similar players on market with avg price on players with similar skills will be usefull to all that do not relay on day trading
