    They're appearance is very very rare....only seen 1 other @8m that wasn't a GK. Seen 4 high value GKs 39Q and 1 DMC @7m. But I'm not counting first 3 days of season - I never looked.

    My level 1 and 2 auctions were quite nice actually and I could easily buy new players for 1 token or 2, quite often being the only bidder. So I'm not surprised to hear that a level 2 manager went into an auction with 2 tokens only. Now the demand for fresh blood is so heavy that for me there's no difference what time I check the market - it's just a slight difference between 3 bidders for an over 30 year old and about 15 bidders for the younger players
    All the advice given in this thread is really helpful, and I would add only this: observe the market. Even if you're not interested in a particular player, just observe the auction to see how many tokens were spent, how many bidders took part in the auction, what quality and age was that player etc. This could help you find what time the auctions are the least crowded and how many tokens you should have in your pocket to stand a chance. In my market, the best time to go shopping is Sunday, about 1-3 pm GMC, which is kind of surprising for me.

    Same here for lvl 1 and 2. Now on lvl 3 everyhting changed. Also been doing the same like you suggest. I already know about 20 players on my server who are not my friends just from the market. Know who's a token buye, know who's an annoying token buyer, sometimes I just see and go like "oh, this guy again"

    Yeah I have one 'that guy' on my server, maybe he's the same person He is a token millionaire and I was so curious who he was that checked his profile on facebook. Well, he is not a bot, just a normal person and quite liekable in fact. This week he supported one of my T11 friend at his match and the sight of his face so close to mine almost caused me a heart attack
