Carlos is one of my two original Hippos, but he has to go as he is too old to be taking up a training space. He's good for 4.5 stars a game and, well, one hell of an offensive middie. I need to know how much to put him up for. In fact, two questions:

1. If I put him out at $1M or something else equally "low", how much do you see him going for?
2. I have a couple of weeks I can play with to try and maximize my profits. If I can let him sit on my roster and just keep putting him up at high prices, hoping for an errant bid, what price do you think I can get?

For some reason, I do not see him as an offensive winger.

EDIT: corrected

You had to play smart and correct me so now you have to answer the questions ;)

A week or two back, outstanding/solid offensive mids were going for more than $2 million. (Like, $100k to $200k more.) If you wanted to try for $2.2 million, I'd bet you could get it, maybe as much as $2.4 million. A "low" price of between $1 MM and $1.5 MM would almost certainly draw out the vultures and I'd be surprised if you didn't $2 million.

He just popped to outstanding so that's why I'm selling him. So, uh, brilliant -15
