Who wants a clown?
 
Matthew Davis (12847225)
18 years, wretched form, healthy
A popular guy who is calm and upright.
Has disastrous experience and solid leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 0 US$
Wage: 500 US$/week
Owner: Concord Assassins
Warnings: 0

Stamina: excellent Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: poor Passing: wretched
Winger: wretched Defending: wretched
Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor


He will be going on transfer market at ~10:15 (4:15 HT-Time.) Due to new transfer market rules, first one to bid 10,000 American dollars will get him.

I'd rather see an FOFC'er get him than someone else, and this seems to be the fairest way. I'll post again when he's up.

He's up

cheetum 11-04-2003 10:17 PM

this is a perfect clown since he has the minimum salary and no value. 10K is cheap you must be doing FOFCers a service. i suggest even 50K is a fair price, since the going rate for a clown like this is about 75K.

BishopMVP 11-04-2003 10:21 PM

I listed the other one I pulled for 70,000, but stupid* new hattrick rules prohibit bidding more than 10x the value, or 10,000 in both instances.

* - only stupid because I'm getting screwed


Congratulations G-Vegas FC and Easy Mac.

It's not exactly a new rule. And it beats the old version where you could only sell him for $0.

BishopMVP 11-04-2003 11:20 PM

I thought they put in something new this season because people were bidding solely on name, etc.

Either way, I expect to be rewarded by the Hattrick Gods for this. Having my YP be a 17yo Excellent PM this week would probably be enough for me to overlook this.

sterlingice 11-05-2003 12:24 AM

Congrats to EasyMac for his new clown :D

How is it that you have 2 clowns on your team both with a value of $0? Have you pulled them both, Bishop?

SI

TargetPractice6 11-05-2003 12:51 AM

Bishop, if you plan on training stamina soon then you probably should have hung on to that clown. Stamina can generally raise value pretty fast regardless of other skills. If you could have just gotten him to a value of $1k then the 100x rule would allow you to receive full price for him.

BishopMVP 11-05-2003 01:25 AM

Pulled Davis last year and Romolo Lanci this week.

TP6 - Thanks for the advice. I am planning to do 1 week stamina next week. Davis wouldn't be helped, but Lanci has wretched stamina and may have made the "jump" to 1k. Oh well, as long as I get my 17yo Excellent YP I'll get over it.

That's separate, an interpretation that they issued on existing rules. They said that if they feel a transfer is egregiously above market value, the excess money will be removed from the seller's account.

BishopMVP 11-06-2003 10:19 PM

Bad news for EasyMac, good news for me and those who want a clown. Davis bumped to 1,000 during the training update, meaning the bidding isn't over yet. Currently at 10,000 bidding ends tomorrow at 4:15 HT-Time.

BishopMVP 11-06-2003 10:21 PM

Dola. Also, my keeper bumped to brilliant and I'll be listing him tomorrow. I'll put that one in the transfer thread Frogman :)

FrogMan 11-06-2003 10:26 PM

no, don't post it, leave it well hidden in here... Why? no, I don't want to bid on him, no, no, Cerio's Dragons FC isn't my new team name, no no :D

Because I like you, I'll advise you not to bid on him. He has poor form. His progression this year (everyone started low because of 2 weeks stamina in the offseason)

Poor
Poor
Weak
Inadequate
Passable
Solid

Last game, Brilliant-1 and in inadequate form, was the 1st he ever pulled 4.5 stars. You can get equal or better keepers cheaper.

Mr. Wednesday 11-07-2003 08:13 PM

Bidding is now closed on the clown, as jjjjja has bid $100k. :(
