i losing every player i bid on, i'm not a token buyer, anyone have tips? i bid on 4star players.
Maybe you can try bidding at last minute on players that no one is bidding or size up the other manager that you are bidding against ? If his squad is of good quality then most probably he is a token buyer. Or maybe you should do a study on timings on when to go into the transfer list where there will be less competition from other managers. I hope this help, hopefully you will get the player you want soon :)
well i bid on the last 3 sec,but then hell breaks loose......bids flying around from everywhere, today i wanted to be the smartass so i waited till the seconds where over , i see again bids flying everywhere but then round 2 began and i couldn't participate...So dumb move from me.Quote:

1st - bid on 5* players :D
Try bidding after server maintenance at 3 GTM, watch bids closely - if there are like 5 people bidding for 1 player you should probably back down. Avoid bidding wars at all costs.
Most important - don't bid on first few days of new season.
Here's my team and I'm not token buyer
Attachment 3450
depending on time zone try getting up early ( when can ) after maintaniance , it`s some times quite then ?

Well,you need to gather more than 2 tokens. I'm usually ready to bid when I have 5. Never bid with only 1 or 2 tokens. You'll probably lose them unnecessary.Quote:

log very sooner in the morning and try to bid for old players what nobody need them, they are not the best but at least you will have something.
How about the young lads from the youth academy ?
i just lost 15 tokens trying to get a DML that was nearly 5* and he was 19yrs old. I had tokens to keep going but his value went about to about double because some guy kept bidding 2 tokens a round before he pulled out. 2 days ago i lost 25 tokens going for a DML grrr i should've pulled out but i was busy doing things in the house inbetween to check the bidders and it i had seen alot of players i wanted before costing less that 5 tokens :/
i always bid after the maintenance and i've all young player with 18-19 yo and 4 stars :)
1- wait till day 5 .. first 2 days especially are crazy.. never bid at that time, unless after maintenance in a new seasonQuote:

4- avoid peak time which is between 12 GMT to 24 GMT
5- look at people bidding in similar players in the transfer list and see how more rounds its goes that will be great sample how tough it will be for you by time your bid time is up
6- look to the team, avoid Token buyers who are bidding, i always look to their squad, before deciding to continue or not
7- if you had to sign now, try older players who attract less buyers, try them, but keep in mind there is still some competition as some need cheap good value players but still better than competing for younger one
Bid at 9am on a sunday morning...it works for me lol i have often got four or five,five star players for 5 or 6 tokens!!!!
I'am to ruff to bid early sat and sunday :D
i discovered there are less good players in Saturdays and Sundays compared to other daysQuote:

Today, day 5, from 10 to 14 cet, I can see almost all the auctions ending not before 10 tokens.
Starting from the beginning of the season I've made just 2 auctions, because I really needed a MC.
Yesterday before lunch I quit after 19 tokens, in the evening I finally won the auction but I had to lose 21 tokens and pay 1.9M for a player which value is 1.25
And it goes always the same way: in 6-10 rounds all players quit..
except one.....
this f**** i**** will follow you until the day you'll be 6 feet under..
actually i agree they also tend to be older too...but as long as they improve my team im not bothered. no matter what im not giving nordeous any more of my money i have not won a league since season 6 and im on season 13 now!!! i finish 2nd every year and id prefer that too giving them my money.Quote:

My transfer list filled up with all 4 & 5* with abt 20 of them players 18-2o. Was about 5pm uk time. Obviously nordeus are trying to get people to bid like mad so people need to buy tokens or do more surveys to make them money.
Idm losing tokens to much but i'd be really pissed if i had paid cash for them lol
yepp noticed same thing too .. had to buy scouts bcz needed a players and the ones on offers were either old or only 3*Quote:

I would prefer to develop my squad etc but i would need to spend cash every season or do dodgey free token offers, too much time tho :(Quote:

I am in Canada and for us, the best time to purchase players is around 01:00 - 02:30 AM EST. Normally I spend about 2-3 tokens per players (only buying 18-19yo).
I'm gonna move to canada :rolleyes:
buy players with 30+ age, and make sure no other competitor, or make sure the other competitor isn't a token buyer
Last season i waited til last day of the season and bought 5 star players, yeh they dropped to 4 stars the day after but 25-29 rated players are good enough for level 3, ive rarely seen better on the t list tbh!Quote:

I disagree on this. Many times I have not entered an auction because I seem 4-5 people enter the bidding and I think its going to be a token-fest...and it goes 1 round. I hate that! I would have easily gone 5-10 tokens on the players I really want, but to see someone get the player I wanted for 1 token drives me nuts.Quote:

I have won MANY auctions like this. IF it goes into 20 rounds, I dont mind because I only go after players I absolutely HAVE to have.
Good luck
I think its just purely luck tbh, after server mantinence seems the worst time for me to buy and around 5pm (GMT) seems best.
I bought 2 5* players and a 3* with SA for 11 tokens all in yesterday!
