The Negotiations Option Kind of Sucks

[Sons of Pitches]

If you bid from your PC you could always check if the manager is active or not.. That's how you figure out if it's worth bidding or not..
If his squad is updated, no players out of position, trophy from last season.. this would mean that the manager is active enough.

Have you won any bids?

Have you won any bids?

I usually offer 4-6 tokens to other managers, about 50% of the players i offer for end up being in my team..
Go for 18-19 y.o players, they cost 9-10T as starting price, highest you should pay for them is about 17-19 tokens.

Sometimes i offer 2-3Tokens then the managers sets a fixed selling price and the range is about 5-6Tokens + Money..
It all depends on how important that player is for his team.. Trying to buy a player from a higher level may be cheaper, even if you offer like 2-3Tokens the manager is going to accept most of the times.
