Each group is further divided into Raiders, Defenders, and All-Rounders, allowing franchises to assemble their squads based on strategic needs.
Elite Retained Players: How does it work?
Ahead of the PKL 12 player auction, each team could retain a maximum of six players across various categories.
Teams were allowed to retain their top performers under the Elite Retained Players (ERP) category so they didn’t risk losing them to other teams in the player auction. A maximum of 3 players could be retained under this category.
Existing New Young Players and Retained Young Players: Who are they?
Teams retained a combined total of 58 players from the Existing New Young Players (NYP) and Retained Young Players (RYP) categories ahead of the PKL Season 12 Player Auction.
These categories comprise a few young players who have played a couple of PKL seasons in the past and they could be retained in the squad ahead of the new season.
What is the Final Bid Match?
The Final Bid Match (FBM) Card rule allows teams to buy back their released players by matching the final auction bid price for the player concerned.
What’s new in PKL Season 12 Player Auction?
The Final Bid Match (FBM) rule has been revised ahead of the PKL Season 12 Player Auction.
According to the updated FBM rule, teams can retain a player for either one or two seasons to support long-term team building and greater team continuity. Previously, the FBM rule allowed teams to retain a player for only one season.
How does the new FBM rule work?
When a former player secures a top bid from another franchise, their previous team can raise either the one-season or two-season FBM card to retain them.
How many FBMs does each team have?
For the PKL Season 12 Player Auction, each team can use up to 3 FBMs, except UP Yoddhas, who are eligible for 2 FBMs. The FBM card can be used based on the number of players retained ahead of the auction.
- Teams with 6 ERPs retained → 1 FBM
- Teams with 5 ERPs retained → 2 FBMs
- Teams with 4 or fewer ERPs retained → 3 FBMs
