Russian, can I get an answer on this please?
Also, is this my last chance to extend contracts and delist Hardingham or will I be able to do this later?
At this stage I'm holding back to see what happens with any teams who might have to adjust their team lists before I do anything so I still have extra cap space in case someone decent has to be moved, but I don't want to miss the opportunity to extend and delist from my existing squad if there isn't anyone worth picking up
Bidding
Bidding is for uncontracted players only. These players are listed at the end of this post. The numbers before the names are for trading only, they have nothing to do with bidding.
All bids are final. If you offer a player a contract and nobody beats it, you will get that player. If he retires at any point after the offer you still get him and pay 100% of his salary in 2016 (unless a new career-ending injury comes up between the time of your bid and the lists deadline, then you may be entitled to only pay 50%). It is your job to make sure bids that affect you are valid.
Once a player has been obtained through bidding, he cannot be traded or otherwise moved around.
