Player value 12m + 9 tokens. Yes? All the tokens go to Nordeus! The team you are buying from receives 0 tokens.
So when you increase the monetary price you are prepared to pay for a player you have to increase the number of tokens you spend.
If you bid ( for example) 2 tokens + money (and money becomes unimportant at higher levels) you as the buyer will be paying 2 tokens to the other manager + 2 more tokens to Nordeus (tax, if you like) + the original 9 tokens Nordeus takes for brokering the transfer. Total cost to you 13 tokens. Nordeus taking 11. And 2 to the other manager.
Negotiations works better at higher levels, but still Nordeus are a little greedy.
Having said that, with the current auction system, negotiations are often a better option. Trick is to find active managers who will sell for a small profit.
thanks for clearing my doubt. Previous season i spend 40 to 45 T on single player opening day of season. So i have stop now bidding wars now and 2 days before by negotiation i signed player with ST/AMC/AMR with special ability for just 17 Tokens that's very cheap for current situation of auction it would go at least for 45 to 50 Tokens in auction market.
i have heard that by bidding also token increases..? if you have to up the price...?
