Our total credit for the auction: 72k

Our planned lineup, along with each trainer's "estimated" prices. I deliberately estimated each trainer's price to be much higher than they probably will be, just for the sake of safety:

SM - SvetaGS3 - 5k
SM - hyw (already retained)
SM - Thimo - 6k
ORAS - Lacus Clyne (already retained)
ORAS - Lord Outrage - 18k
BW2 - Bossness - 15k
DPP - Sheetanshu - 7k
ADV - La.Melle2402 - 10k

Possible substitutes (we need two of them):

Tape - 15k
Klefkwi - 12k
Alex Walls - 7k

If you look at our core lineup alone, you will see that even with the highly exaggerated prices, we would still have spent only 61k of our 72k after having bought everyone on that list. With 11k remaining, we probably won't have enough credit left to buy two of our possible substitutes. That's OK, since they're only substitutes anyway, and we can buy any random to fill space.

Now, I am thinking that this should be the order in which I nominate the trainers:

1. Lord Outrage
2. La.Melle2402
3. Bossness
4. Thimo
5. Sheetanshu
6. SvetaGS3
7. Tape (depends on how much credit we have left by that point in the auction)
8. Klefkwi (depends on how much credit we have left by that point in the auction)
9. Alex Walls (depends on how much credit we have left by that point in the auction)

But what should I do if someone else nominates a trainer I want before the point at which I'd like to have them nominated, especially if that trainer is intended to be a substitute for us? For example, what if someone nominates Tape or Klefkwi before I even have the chance to nominate Lord Outrage? Maybe go for 6k maximum for any of them?
