Possible Reasons for unsold

There is large pool of players available and each person has specific role to play so as a specialized person in the team, one can choose main match player and other one or two backups. Each team play with seven members squad and there are specific roles like right corner, left corner, right in, left in, right cover, left cover, centre. There are specialized players for various positions. For example, if we consider right corner position for 12 teams, total 12 right corner players are required with 12-16 backups. So, demand for player is less compared to specific position supply.

Teams also decided based on keeping team for next 2-3 years so they wanted best performers, young scouted talents, best fit players. So even if unsold players had good PKL7 season, they still go unsold due to other players had best performance in PKL7. Out of total auctioned players, 65% players are from Category C and D.

If more teams are added in the league, more players can be added in the game.
