This morning I logged onto my gf's top11 account, filtered 5* players, and there were around 20-30 5* players available, with auctions ending in 2-5 hours (None finishing soon). So I added 5x strikers to my favourites, and then logged out to do other things for a while.

I've now logged back in, maybe 1 1/2 hours later, and there are no 5* players on the auction list, BUT the 5x 5* strikers I put on my favourites list are all there. In fact, there are only 2x 4* players, both 30s (So they've only just become 4* players)

Filtering for age/5*/Ability etc still doesn't show any 5* players available (Other than the ones on my favourites list).

Removing a 5* player from my favourites list adds them to the list of available players (So there's 1x 5* player available).

However, if I log out and back in, that 5* player is no longer visible.

I already knew that you need to log out and back in to see new players, but what I've seen today now leads me to believe that we are only able to see a maximum number of players, and that the higher quality players are filtered out first (The player I unfavourited had a shorter auction duration than some of the existing auctions)).

Therefore, if you log in after server reset (When there are a lot of auctions with a log duration), it's prudent to either bid on them early, or add them to your favourites, so that they won't subsequently disappear from your auction list. If a lot of new auctions go up, and thus push 5* players off the table, you may then be able to pickup these players relatively cheaply, as other players won't even be able to see these players in their Top11 (Unless they also added the players to their favourites).

I think that this is why I often see bids on players, even when their auction still has 4-5h left. As these players who bid early, might actually have a decent chance of picking up the player for just 1x token, if no one else bids or adds the players to their list of favourites. Staying logged in for the entire 5h would also achieve the same effect lol.
