Something interesting about auctions - Possible way to get cheap 5* players

[Jimmy Lazarou]

No this is rubbish. No player is bumped off the list ever. They are removed once its auction ends and a new one replaces him.

They aren't necessarily bumped off, but they become hidden from the player because the list can only show a limited number of players.

@OP They aren't cheaper because you still have to compete with people above you who view them as 3-star or 4-star.

Yep they can, but they're significantly less likely to bid for a 3* or 4* player, whereas managers who are the same level as you will definitely want to bid.

So if you can save some of the good 5* players with long auction times to your favourites list, you might get lucky and have the server unable to display those players later in the day. If you can then identify this, you may be able to get the players cheaply (compared to equivalent 5* players who don't get bumped off the transfer list).
