Tokens and bidding

Ok so today i went after a player i really really needed, had 21 tokens, and was in a bidding war with this guy who in the end won and i lost my 21 remaining coins so now im screwed.

Now in my opinion i find this to be unfair simply because there is people out there who buy tokens, so my idea is, to make it fair those who lose out in a big bidding war are refunded with the takes they have used to bid with, but if you got the player you lose the tokens obviously.

Im now sitting here thinking what is the point, the token system with transfers needs to be revised in my opinion.

Im pretty much screwed now.

Big -1 to this. Manage your tokens better then there would be no need for getting involved in bidding wars, especially if you run on 35T a season. If you simply got your tokens back in a bidding war then it would go on forever... pretty pointless to be honest.

Refunding tokens would artificially raise the bids for pretty much every player. Everyone would bid a substantial amount of tokens because they know they will get back their tokens even if they don't win anyways. I would agree with getting a portion of your tokens back, but all of them will lead to some terrible inflation.

That's the same. What would be the point of bidding then? You could bid until you have no tokens left and then you lose the auction - and tada, you'll have your tokens back.

I think we should get like 10% or 20% of the tokens back, but not more.

I have to agree with dv8r. You need to manage your tokens better. You need to*learn when to bid for palyers. I needed a backup striker and this morning got a 5* striker for 1 token. If you only had 21tokens I would have given up after 7 and tried for someone else.

I usually have a 5 token max rule .. broke that today in mass biddign war for a aml/amc player I really needed . I eventually got him in round 22 knockout . token scout would have been only slightly better ( but non in that position at that time ) so I figure my 22 token were worth it

I find alot of people have 5 token rule so I would normally got to 6or7 depending in how many I have.

The reason I'm saying you shouldn't get any tokens back is because I went to 67 rounds vs some guy for a fast trainer. He then could not bid on the other players I wanted and I got them for a few tokens each. If he had got his tokens back, he would have done the same to me again and again and I probably would have spent 300 tokens on 3 players lol!

as non token buyer i`m a tight ass this is why i NEVER bid on first few day`s let everyone else lose tokens then pick up the good ones for less, although i did get 2 cracker`s 5* and not far of scout for a combined fee of 6 tokens so it`s worth watching market and bid late if not to many pre bidding, i still need two player`s but in no rush

At the end of the day, everything in this game is meant to give an advantage to those who buy tokens. If you dont buy tokens, you are going to be left wanting many, many times in auctions. It is not fair to be up against those who choose to buy tokens, but that is how this game is created and you have to adapt to this or stop playing.

I myself have gotten into bidding wars and have left myself with no tokens, but at the time I was buying a few tokens here and there and it meant nothing to me. Now, as I refuse to buy tokens, EVER again, I pick and choose which players i will bid for a lot more intelligently.


You have to learn who you are bidding against and learn when to bid and not to bid. If you dont, you could be wasting your tokens. IF you dont buy tokens, almost every bid you place could be wasted (the same if you buy tokens, the difference being that you just buy more, so it really doesnt have the same affect).

Overall, the bidding system is put in place to make players spend tokens. Simple. Greedy. But without it, players would not have their present worth and everyone would have a team full of scouts. At this point, it would be supply and demand and if you dont have this bidding system, then the players supplied would not be as good, or else, like I said, everyone would have a team of scouts for cheap.

Look, this game is loaded against people who dont buy tokens. This is obvious and will only be news to noobs. Remember, this is a game created to make money for Nordeus, it is not meant for us to have fun at their expense. Think about that for a min. This game is created to be the computer equivalent of cigarettes. They put an addictive aspect into the game, or play towards the people with addictive behaviours, in order to hook you at the start. They do everything they can to make sure you are a player for life. They guide you with winning and frankly, it is too easy to win when i look back at levels 1-3.

All this to say: I cant STAND the threads where people whine about it not being fair for non-tokens buyers. It doesnt matter what idea you have that might improve the game for non-tokens buyers or token buyers. Do you know why? Because Nordeus doesnt give a **** about what you think might improve the game if it decreases their income stream. That is why they are fighting tooth and nail to not make any changes to friendlies, injuries, or schedules. That is where they make their secondary income, the primary income being from bids.

So, usher, dont worry about what they can do to improve the bidding process, as it falls on deaf ears, here and at Nordeus. They will NEVER change it as it is their main source of income. Waste your time on other fights, like the ones I mentioned earlier, as they are at least winnable.
