A big fan of the implementation of Order Books on @FootballIndex but have one thing I’d like them to review.

I don’t like or understand the need for the ‘you can only offer 10p above the buy price’ element of it.

If I want to sell Jadon Sancho for £16, why should I have to wait for a huge spike before I can put my offer in?

Surely the idea of being able to put offers in is so that you can set these prices out in advance?

I might be missing something, but I have lots of players I’d like to set offers on, but not at the prices some traders are currently ‘valuing them at’.

Why am I restricted from offering players at a certain price because (what could be) 1 trader ‘values’ a player at X?

I also think the 10p cap is creating extra downward pressure on prices.

It forces some who want to set offers to essentially join in at a similar price point to (what could be) what 1 trader has ‘valued’ a player at.

Perhaps a 10% cap (if one is needed) would work better?

4/6
Saying that, I’m not sure why the bid zone and offer zone can’t be the same size.

I don’t want to have to watch every game to ensure I can sell at a price I want to.

I’d like to be able to buy players, set some prices for the weekend and not have to be glued to the Index.

Anyways, the implementation has been great, but with this small change I think things will be even better.
