Players Agents
The Einnek Football Association has licensed a number of official player’s agents. The agents have massive scouting networks and thus unearth only the best prospects. After training at various state-of-the-arts training centres the very best of these players will be made available for purchase.
The main player’s agents are Sammy Bull, Allessandro Ivanoff, Rob Heron and Nito Cruso. Players in Einnek Football who were discovered by one of these agents are regarded at the best prospects around and as such command high transfer fees.
When an agent player auction closes the winning side must have cleared funds in their bank account in order to secure the player’s services. All bids will be withdrawn if a side cannot purchase the player without going into debt.
Similarly, sides bidding for multiple players from the same agent must have funds to cover all purchases at the time an auction or sale finishes. If they do not, all their bids will be withdrawn regardless of any players they may potentially have signed.
Sammy Bull sets a fixed price for his senior players and they are sold on a first come, first served basis by telephone at the time Mr Bull announces in the weekly turn.
Allessandro Ivanoff is an expert in discovering young players. He sells his youth team prospects on a blind auction basis. He sets a minimum bid value and managers submit their bids before the auction closes at the time the next turn is due. Successful teams are notified following completion of the weekly turn.
Nito Cruso is now semi-retired and does not make many players available, but when he does they are the real deal. Usually active at special times, such as Einnek Managers Meetings; these players command the highest fees.
Rob Heron operates in a similar way to Nito Cruso, but all his players are youth prospects.
