Only if the manager can get the good list in time. What will he add to favorites if he gets the 3 or 4-star nordgens list only? If a manager don't get the good list on 1st or 2nd tries of the day, he will more likely be stuck with the bad list. Disconnecting and reconnecting does not work enough. Sometimes, you can get the good but already diminished list later after 5-6 disconnections or more, and hence, many 5-star players have already been sold or gone. Sometimes, even with several disconnections and re-connections, the good list does not come.
I don't like the way the market functions in this game; there are many unfair things - firstly in terms of the server itself (different lists, but not all managers get access to all of them in time, even if all of them make the effort and log in around the same time), and then globally (different lists, certain positions more rare, and so on; this affects the parity for associations).
