England unsold : Alex , Jonny, Joe, Tymal Mills, Morgan, Tom Curran, Rashid, David Willey, Ravi, Finn, Gurney,Samit, Plunkett, Denly, Helm, David Malan.
Some franchisee in 2nd or 3rd auction had requested to get David Willey in auction during accelerated round. But I think they could bid successfully for similar role player, so Willey remained unsold.
Billings was sold in 3rd auction round. He was part of DD last year. He is a floater option. Has experience of batting in Asia due to IPL and probably BPL as well. So good backup option for foreign batter.

I do not understand the mindset of the IPL bidders at all. I guess England players have always been relatively unpopular due to availability/scheduling issues, but still.
Smith was captain last year. He also scored a IPL ton last year. His team Rising Pune Supergiant was into finals and lost to a strong IPL team Mumbai Indians which has won IPL thrice. Smith captaincy was one reason. Was with Rajasthan Royals before who are forming a totally new team. So they were looking for a captaincy material I suppose.
England players have suffered due to full availability issues. Also Aussies are widely represented tat even auction table. Moody, Katich and Ricky were bidding for players. There was nobody from England. Even Daniel Christian got in a squad.KKR took him. Katich is Assistant coach for KKR. Surely there were better players at 1.1 cr than Christian who has flopped in IPL.
Moody is coach of Sunrises.
Ricky is head coach do Delhi Daredevil's.
So the Aussie presence is helping franchisees to scout or pick players from Australia.
Whereas there is nobody from England who was at auction table. Also i don't think there is any England coach in IPL. So the advantage of some player being recommended is lost.
Obviously franchisees will pick players irrespective of their is England coach or not. Example Ben, Sam, Jordan, Jos, Moeen, Mark.
Alex was ignored initially because they were was a talk that Alex does not plays spin well. Then it gets compounded with availability for only half season etc. But he may be picked as so.e top order batsman replacement in this addition or future auctions.
Morgan has flopped in IPL. It is understood why nobody placed initial bid for him.
There was some interest for David Willey. I think he will get into IPL.
Tymal Mills flopped totally last year.Dont think he will get into IPL squad again if he does not reduces his base price.
Maybe some more England players will get bid when there are auctions next time because the FTP will mean that all players will be available fully. However, the one challenge will be base price. Some of them have to be wise by setting it lower and then once franchisees start I itial bid there is a chance of mini bidding war to happen which can sky rocket to even surpass the base price by lot more. Also a presence of few England coaches in IPL will help. More if these coaches are on table during auction pool.
