Auction/Negotiation/Scout

[Tornado88]

So, is it better to buy a player through Auction, Negotiation or Scout?

And when I say better, I mean value for money/tokens.

Auctions are definitely the best value, but they're also the most uncertain, you could get the same players as negotiations for just 1 token at a fraction of their price, or you might have to go to over 100 rounds and pay several times their market value.

You can get pretty good players on negotiations, but it depends on how greedy the manager is.

Scouts are the most certain ones, you're sure to pay 50 tokens and some cash, so pick good players, higher value and quality, and lower age.

For me, I only go for auctions, I need about 21 players a season on a budget of 35 tokens a season, and I always get them too. I am very selective with my bids.

Great advice, thank you!

[Potemy]

No problem. Not really advice, though, just a reasonably thorough analysis of the three.

Haha it was what I needed! Wasn't sure what was the best way to go. I'm level 4 now and so far got away with easily buying players from Auction, but as I go higher in level now its becoming more and more competitive for players!

I'm level 15 this season, I've always been going for auctions and I manage to get what I need every season. Some seasons I manage to save some tokens for the coming seasons too. I'm Asian, though, so timing is good for me to get some players early in the T11 day.

I agree with Potemy, auctions are the best thing but really uncertain, this season i baught players only with "negotiations" because there are only good players there and not so many bidders. The scout area it's verry good but really expensive. Good luck.

I`m English and set my alarm, as the saying goes the early bird catches the worm, if there`s no players i want i will sod off back to bed

I`m also the same as you selective on what players i want and i won`t waste token`s in a bidding war

Lol I am English too and I start work really early (4am) so I have that little advantage of it being quiet.

Are scout players really worth it for 50 tokens though??
