Buying on Auction

Is there any plans to ever replace the current bidding system, or get some tokens into the game without having to buy them? Just starting my 3rd season and get really hacked off not being able to buy for about a fortnight of each new season as every player appears to go for an obscene amount of tokens........

Understand this is where the game makes their money but, as with others I have played, surely they can find a way to do so not to the detriment of most.......

As I write this, another auction for an average player lvl 33 hits knockout round12 and is still going.

Well I never buy players at the start of the new season, wait fof a week, I ususaly buy my first player in 6th day of league its easier to buy players for about 5 up to 15 tokens........

yep as above i never try and buy player`s first couple days of new season let them waste tokens and you can pick up some cracker player`s for less

although this trouble with bidding war does not worry me now as no bidders around although there are no decent player for sale any way :)

I think this is a disparity between the servers/auction houses.

I have loads of players available.....but hundreds of bidders all armed to the teeth with tokens. You get the odd player sneaking through that would only cost 4-6 tokens but its a complete lottery (seen ageing, one position players going for 15 tokens!) and I can't afford to throw tokens away without a player coming back through the door.

I specifically tailor what I am after to try and avoid bidding wars on young, fast trainers etc........but like with last season - took until day 12 before it calmed down to even consider bidding.

Ruins the game for me.

I have bought 3 5 Star good training players for 4 tokens on the first day of the season. I have a trick for Auctions

4 tokens in total or 4 per player? Either way, on the server I am on, that wouldn't happen at the moment. Not calling you a liar......just different situations we are facing, I feel.

yep true but without derailing with this new market they said we should get better quality player`s, well i`v had this for near on a month and player`s on market have been worse, so when i put a v good player on it you would of course think there would be a number of bids ?? well no i gave up after 14 attempt`s trying to sell

Really strange the contrasts:

You can't sell good players or find any to buy.

I can't buy anyone out of the many players I find as they all go for about 1,000 tokens.

Ryan Townsend has managed to buy 3 good quality/fast train players for a total of 4 tokens.

So, transposing his situation he couldn't do that in either of our situations as you wouldn't have the players on the list and, on mine, he would have to spend 4 tokens to get a bottom-of-the-ladder 31 y/o.

Started tracking players:

DMC/DMR Lvl 33 28 y/o. Sold in knockout round 5.

then he`s dam lucky, i`m getting nothing 5 star wise so the only way is getting a 4 star and power train to top end of 5 but this means using/buying greens which i refuse to do unless they are and absolute corker with S/A

back from dead,

the best choice for me is ALWAYS, 1st-2nd day of the season, 1tk for a 30yo , 2-5 TK for a 18-20 yo
at 6th-7th days they go up for 5-10 tk a player. the cout only decrease after 20+ days
it really depends on servers and what the others players are thinking.
so, bid when you have the time to watch the market and don't bid the 1st player you see. wait a moment, add to favourite and see how many round it goes.
if 0 why not bid ?
if 1-2, you must check who is bidder ? what about his team. bid it soon and use bid at last second in 1st round, you may won
if more than 2 rounds, somebody is in the same interest with you. You are in the point to lost 5-10 tk, so ready for it.

Strange you witness the complete opposite to me, on the server I am on.

Just seen an auction for a 22 y/o Lvl 34 DC/DCM finally finish in knockout round 36!!!! This appears, from what I have seen today, to be commonplace.

Can you request to change servers does anyone know? I want to be on your one, Tongly.

Either share this 'trick' you talk of or we all label you a liar.
