I'm at a loss of words.

Yea, how the title says.. I effin' hate those auctions.. I'm at lv 4 an normally I should bid for one like 10 tokens or more just to have an 31+ player.. wtf is wrong with that
I don't find all the roles, and when I found them, they are like 2-3 hours and wtf I will never stay 2-3 hours just to buy an virtual player, now seriously
Or some of em' just trolling because they paid to have 23189236127853 tokens and wanna f*ck your day.
Now about the Negotiations panel, wtf?
All players are way too expensive, and the Manager of the respective player, Don't wanna 7-8 tokens and 2 m for an pretty ok player.
Are they re*arded? I'm just.. I think I would better stay at lvl 1- 2 if this is possible lol. This game started to have moar and moar players, that is ok but They're bidding like 10 persons for an normal player, and I'm like WTF.
I will never pay to get tokens so.. Yea
Um..Have a nice day.

I'm still lvl 2, but from what I've read round here most ppl say the best thing to do is to buy on 2nd week, not on the first one precisely to avoid those things happening...

I was very lucky as I managed to buy two players without any bidding war, but I've also lost like 8 tokens bidding for players that ended up in a war...

I sympathize with your problem but it's a monthly event of people throwing away tokens at the start of the season...personally i wait till days 7-10 to find players on the auctions as it has calmed down by then...

Late night is best when there is nobody about :)...

yawn!

hopefully youll figure out the way to come out of auctions with little damage. i signed 5, 5 star players and 3, 3 star players on sunday for just 49 tokens

Please.

when your at an auction, look at players your bidding against. look at when they joined the game, their budget and his squads average quality. then you can figure out whether they are ploughing money into the game, and youll know not to waste your time bidding. i lost out on two or three players on sunday. the players i eventually signed only cost around 30 tokens.

why you wait .. just add player you want to your favorite then come back 2-3 hours later to buy him
if you don't want to do that, then why playing online management games?
even in FM, it take me days and even weeks till my offer is accepted ..

Wait until the last moment to bid for players... I've bided many times for some players which had like 3-4 hours to finish their bids, and in the last minutes a lot of people start biding for them like crazy, so I forget about that player.

If you wait until the last minutes, you will see if there's many people interested in that player, and if not you can bid for them calmly.

I just signed 7, 5* for 21 Tokens in total. Two of them got SA and none of them is older than 23.
Patience is all you need. Just don't run into crazy bid wars.

As many have stated above don`t get caught in biding wars in "peak hours". Just try to search the market early in the morning like 5-6 AM or late night 9-10 PM (mornings are best, for instance I bought almost all my new 5* players for this season on monday morning, [I noticed theres regurarly a a new batch of 5* players that auctions end at about 6:15AM to 7:15Am everyday]) , mostly you can sign on those hours new players for just 1T. Just wait on those hours for players you need and remember - be patient!

On side note I often check how is the transfer market going on "peak hours" and boy .... that`s hilarious, AMC with shadow striker are like magnet to tokens, watched yeasterday 2 auctions, one had 4 biders in round 5 and ended like 19 round, the other had 3 at round 5 and ended on round 26!!! hahah

Seriously, put on an alarm on your pohne get up early or stay late night. It`s worth it!

The start of the season has this effect, but the major player is what server you are on. The server you are on determines just how hard it will be to get players at a decent price. It also determines what quality of player you will have most of the time. My server is ok, but I rarely get any 4/5 * players, EXCEPT at the start of the season, and now they are gone and it is only day 3.

I bought a 5* DMC/DC for just two tokens...that was a good result in my books......But at the moment there isnt any good MC that I can find, even the scouts leave me cold, as they never usually meet my requirements , but with being drawn against level 5 in cup tomorrow with lots of Scouts....its good by to cup...unless I take some advice from level one......hard tackling to foul their players lol.

If you are level 6, just bid for 5* players because the 3* players you are bidding against are 5* players 2 levels below you. If its money problems, bid on cheaper older players.

But sometimes especially when its a good quality player, there are usually guys like you as well.
What I do is to monitor the market, don't jump on the first quality guy you see. Look out for the fifth or sixth favourable player,
put him in your favourites. Then go back to those earlier quality guys, once you see 3 to 5 people bidding for one player then
the market is probably full and bidding warriors are arround.

im not going to waste tokens and getting into bidding wars for the best players when im not even going to use them. like i said i just needed players to fill my bench in case a player is injured during a game. that is their only use

I love nOObs :p

Because sometimes you have to replace 2 star players, or you find a better 3 star player than your current 3 star player

I had four 4* players on my TL this morning, all ****. I constantly have ~95% or more of my TL as 3* and believe me, I am not the highest quality in my league or any bracket I am in. Highest level on my server MY ASS!

Umm.. I have a question
In the 3-1-2-2-2 formation,
wich players should I buy first? I mean a better player
WIch position is a must to have a 5star.

Foundation, it all starts at bottom, weak defense leads to conceding many goals.

I would say balance is a must. If you have a 5* keeper/defender and all the rest are 2*, there is only so much they can do. Equally, even if you get a striker who scores 2 every game it's no good if you concede 3

Having at least one good player in defence, midfield and attack is better than overloading one area I would say

I buy 18 year old high value 3 star players allot, they train fast n last longer, also my tl is generally very bad and not many above that. Anyone buying on the first day of the season is a fool and to be successful you only need 3 to 5 star players (except the cup but i'm not prepared to throw money away to win that)

Thanks for the reminder. Im at level 3 and people are quite noobs here. Ive bought 4~5 3 star fast trainers 20yo just for 5 tokens. Whn i mean fast they all have 40+ exp in stretching. In a match they all gain 170+~.

for you guys who recommend bidding at certain times of days, I'm sure you realize that this game is played by people all over the world in many different time zones. I am at level 12 and I've seen players from everywhere, it's not overwhelming Europe at all. I live in California USA, I have many east Asia based players in my league from Southeast Asia, and also Southwest Asia/Middle East. Also for some season many Turks, and of course a lot of other Euros. My league leader is an American. So this time zone advice is bogus. When it's the middle of the night in Turkey it's prime bidding time here in California.

Actually 32-bit signed integer overflows at 2147483647. Unsigned overflows at 4.294.967.295.

Anyway, i've also been having an hard time reeinforcing my squad. I usually can only bid at high traffic hours, so i end out quiting on a player after the first round, when i see how many people bid at the last second...

In order to complete my squad, i went for a couple of 3*, free transfer, old players. They're doing the job, at low cost, and no token war. Problem is replacing 1st squad players.

You should find a time of the day where there are few bidding wars, which will be the best time for you to buy players.
