You can call it bad luck I suppose, I dont get many as I onlly buy hot prospects or scouts!, having said that I would think there are good players in the auction that good but maybe not many!, the thing to look for is the price of the player!, if there are say two 5* players around the same age and skill set but one player is 3 or 4 million more then you know that he is a good player and the other one is a gamble buy!., what position is your player and how old is here?, another thing to try is play him the side he kicks the ball with(left foot left), you will see quite quickly how he progresses whether he is good or bad!, this does not apply to scout players as they play good a season or two then have an average one then come good again so with them you have to be patient.
