Regarding the token loss when bidding on a player.

[Anamnesis]

In truth you would still be making money, since the person who wins the bid will lose his coins. And if someone pushes the bid the more money you would gather from the transaction. But if a player is in desperate need of say a DMC to spell his/her injured midfielder and loses all their coins attempting to get one AND loses the player as well just because someone else had more....then how does that encourage that player to continue wanting to play? He/she may become disillusioned and stop playing altogether. I've actually played stages where the managers were NEVER there for a game. And one or two of my friends have said this to me as well...they don't feel encouraged to play on when the bidding process is so one-sided. Maybe the loser could have a fraction of his coins returned. That way the game gets a second bite at getting that player to bid again, spreading out the income, instead of forcing players to hold back bidding at all!
