Top eleven creating teams at auction end to force a bidding war

thread seems to be bad. how convenient!

Fake teams

[Cat Harrison]

How does that prove? They want to be able to maybe change their tactic? The no money thing proves even less: if it were a bot I would expect it to magically have unlimited $$. What you saw was someone who bid on multiple players. There are no bid bots.

Real people go considerably more rounds than that in the first few days of the Season. (which is why I don't buy until half way in myself)
Also, this thread is really old.

I've a player on my server who for the past year or so always ends up with a team of players that are 1 training cone away from being 6 star.

I check the negotiations pages quite regularly and from around day 5 onwards he always has 5+ players on the list. (The rest of the players when you click on his team are also just 1 cone away, yet aren't on the negotiations list). Those players then stay on the list until the end of the season. They are 1 cone away from 6 star, yet they never accrue enough training to get that extra cone. I've put bids in several times for his players, yet he never responds to any of the offers - even when I have gone way over the top with the offer.

It just strikes me as odd how non of his players ever hit scout level, yet all are 1 cone away from it. Surely after he plays a game some will be scouts due to experience?

It begs the question on if his account is a dummy one or if it is a real user. If it is a real user then he is playing the game in a really odd manner. Even stranger was that when I was first starting out at level 1/2/3 I often seemed to end up in bidding wars with the same account. I also used to get drawn with his team in the first few levels (not been in a bidding war or been in the same league with him for over a year now).

It's a very odd account and the team name (something silly like Cooch Cooo Cooch) is silly too. Something about him/the account just doesn't feel right.

You have to assign the skill points to the players for them to get better, plus maybe he hasn't played for awhile, it is a good strategy to have players on the negotiations tab so you can try and get coins

Yeah, but even without allocating the cones, the player would disappear from the negotiation lists wouldn't he. A bit like how players slow down in training when they go up a star, regardless of if you have allocated his cones.

I'm not saying he is doing anything dodgy, but if he isn't then he isn't really getting the best out of his team and must burn through a lot of tokens playing the way he does.

Maybe he is just trying to mess with everyone who plays T11. His whole goal in life is to mess with peoples minds

It does seem a little odd, but not completely nutty. Maybe they like having a 5* star team? I have one team I kept at 4* for a few seasons.. Basically holding a ton of points to keep their Q the same, assigning up to just below 4* after Cup draw. They could be doing that, desiring to keep the players at that particular Q for as long as possible?

There was a team I was getting into bidding wars with early on, (he was going for a solid 6* team) but he decided to use the Scout list so I don't ever see him now. But he would always be buying the 18 y.o. gems I wanted, it got to the point I just wouldnt bid if I saw him. Thankfully I only got in League with him once, though I saw him in CL a couple times.

I can understand the Cat.

What I don't get is how he can have a team of 18 players, all 1 cone away from being 6 star, who all remain 1 cone away from being 6 star for two weeks.

Surely once they have played enough games they gain that extra cone and are removed from the negotiation list as a result. I know he only ever shows 5 or 6 players on the negotiation lists, but I just don't get why he wouldn't allocate the cones.

Each season after a few days he reappears with new players on the list. That's the next odd thing, they are all again new players. He never has the same players for more than 1 season.

Just odd.

[kynan]

Lol maybe!

It doesn't really bother me as I don't have any contact with him within the game anymore as we haven't been drawn together for the past 13/14 seasons.

I'd probably be a bit miffed if he kept popping up in my league though.
