Not wanting to lose him from the list, as I was logging-out, I put my bid in early (the first offer from anyone).

Anyhow, I turned my pc off, and set about getting my evening meal. After cooking and eating, I dozed off to sleep for 30 minutes, and then on waking, sat down to watch Brazil v Russia on the television. At 9pm, I suddenly remembered the auction and was annoyed that I'd missed it, and had wasted a token. Now I've logged back in, I am shocked to see that the player is mine. So obviously, nobody else bid on him. So 1 token for an almost scout player. Can't be bad.
It's brilliant that when that happens... I sometimes say when you have not many tokens to spare and you need to buy players, sometimes its a good idea to lay the 1T on a few players early in auctions (1 hour+) and forget about the auctions and sometimes you win, It's easier at this time of the season though, the tranny market is getting more quiet.
