How to read these numbers

Only players who sold appear; nothing is known about players who went unsold.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation, so a 2011 price and a 2025 price are not the same money.
A retention or trade is a salary agreed outside the auction, not a bid, and is never added into auction spend.
4 sales have no profile link because the name could not be matched to a player record.
Retentions, trades and releases last refreshed 9 Oct 2026. The data is as current as that refresh, not live.
