How does the bidding system work?

hello everybody!

i am curious about how the bidding system works. when i am bidding for players, another gamer bids for my player so he is in the lead now. so i bid another time to ensure that i am ahead and we would go into the next round of bidding. however, during the next round, when i bid again, i became the leader but i would not win the bid. instead, it would go into another round. but during the 2nd round of the bid, my rival bids the player and i didnt bid, he will win the player.

how is that so? why am i always in the disadvantage? please advice.

thank you!

You win the bid if you are the only bidder in the round or if you are the highest bidder and no one bid in the current round.

You only need to bid once in a round, that's enough to qualify for the next round.

yes, however, when i bid once in a round, i go to the next round. but if my rival outbid me in the same round, he wins the player. how is that so?

No, if you bid once in a round, you will always go into the next round. If your rival outbids you in the same round, you do not need to bid again.
Only when you are the only bidder in a round (or the last bidder in the previous round with no more bids) do you win the player.

Your rival can't outbid you in the same round. Once you have placed one bid in a round, you must not place another bid in the same round, even if it doesn't show you in the people which bid anymore.

Yup, sit back and laugh as the opposing bidders waste tokens each round if they bid more than once ;)

They can. Each successive bid is higher than the previous bid, so if they bid after you they win the round - but not the auction.
You then just have to bid in the next round, not the current round. Winning a round means nothing.

That's what I meant. They can't win the auction.

Effectively bidding in a round only qualifies you for the next round. Each person who bids qualifies for the next round.
If you are the only person who qualifies, you win the auction and the player

Same here it is like when i bid a second before the round ends, it goes into the next round. In the next round, the opponent bids at the very last second, leaving me with no time to even place a bid. As a result the opponent wins. This is really annoying. Top eleven should change this system to such a way that the opposition have time to react to a sudden bid.

You win an auction if:

1. You are the only bidder in the current round or
2. there are no bidders in the current round and you hold the lead bid from the previous round.

If you don't bid in the current round, because you had the leading bid in the previous one, you run the risk of a late bid becoming the only bid in the current round and thus winning.

Okay let the master of bidding explain.
First of - You never bid more than once per round in the beginning. It's just stupid cuz it wont help you anyway. It doesnt matter who stands as number 1 if several others have put a bid.
As long you have bid in a round, you are qualified for the next round. It's simply "last man standing" Until you're the last one put a bid.

My tactic (i do buy tokens - so dont follow my tips if u dont do the same as me)
But what I do after like 20 bidding rounds is to show who's the king. (or whatever round I decide to push)
So let's say its 30sec left of bidding round 20. And I decide that it's enough now. Then i just spam... i dont care if i waste away 50 tokens during those 20 sec... since I always get what i want.

But for you who doesnt buy tokens and dont have many, maybe only 10 or such..
My recomendation would be that you just bid once per round first 6 rounds... and when it is 5 sec left of bidding round 7, u click the button 4 times a row. U scare away the opponent - and u will also bid at the very last second.

Hope this helped.

But if u are SANE - dont do as i do.

EDIT: Make sure to place your bid when it is as most 1 second left. Its a thin line btw having the last bid, and to miss to even place a bid. But you'll learn :) Try to place your bid with as few seconds left as possible for each round. And once you decide to push - you just spam bid button the last 10-20 seconds so the opponents understand that you are crazy ^^

No need to do that - I normally walk away before it gets to 20 rounds - the player usually isn't worth more than about 10 rounds to me.

Well I never get into a bidding war if I don't want the player. And if I do want the player I get the player... why waste away 10 tokens for nothing? Let's say I have 50 tokens left only... and I'm up against another crazy person like myself... Then I just refill with 500 Tokens in the middle of the bidding war..

To give up on a player doesn't exist for me. And that's why I've never lost a bid ever.

I know it's sick :) But who cares really. I Just tried to help others.

But most often its enough with 1 token for me, since i mainly use my tokens to buy money - to afford really expensive young fast trainers.
I never go into a bidding war with an average player.

Fair enough. I normally win, because I don't tend to go for the ones that are obviously more popular, or I wait and go for ones that no-one else can afford.

Exactly John! If you buy tokens sometime, then do as i do - and trust me when i say that it is worth it. (Buy alot of money for your tokens) Because when a really expensive young player comes up - not many, if even any can afford him. It's usually enough with 1 token for me.. as most I think it has been 5 tokens.

But if i go for a less expensive player than its total war - and as you said "it is not worth it" But IF I entered the bidding war, then i fullfil it. Since I am insane ^^ But it's better to go for 3-4 really expensive YOUNG players. You don't have to spend many tokens on the bidding at all. You spend tokens on money.

Like every scout player I got now (8) atm.. have cost me 1-5 tokens.
But my 27-28 quality players have cost me 20-30 tokens each. Get my point? It's not worth it.

That's why you spam the last 5 seconds of whatever round you decide to make the push :)

There's no need to spam, nor is there any point - if they are going to continue to bid then they will continue to bid whether you choose to waist tokens or not.

I decide when it's enough. And usually they are sane people unlike me. I do what i got to do, and i've probably bid on 30 players since i started. Not lost a single bid. So dont tell me how to do :) if i waste away 20 tokens is my buisness - and i dont feel those 20 anyway since its just to refill. Once again - i am sick in head ;)

Just as in real life - if i want something, i get it. It's very simple :) And it never fails.
