Season 77 - Week 4

[El Pistolero]

Sometimes I became desperate and try to get involve in bidding war. Because I know as soon as I stopped bidding, they stops later in the next round.

Is bidding bots exists in the game?

I don't know if they exist but I haven't seen a bot.

"Some people just want to watch the world burn" - in a very British accent

You get the occasional player who has too much money and they're only interested in winning players, they don't care for tokens just winning. It's weird I know.

They don't.. this is just the result of frustration and some willing to spend a hole bunch of tokens.

Best advise is quit bidding when such a token monopolist is at play

Thats my point, how do we know when we are facing a guy with tons of tokens? We dont.. We should be able to know how often does he goes to the shop. ( this would even increase T11 gains, cause there would be more ppl buying tokens to have that (lets call it) "icon" which would drive off players when buying a player ).

Plus, as didnt know how rich he was in tokens, he also couldnt know how many tokens i had.

That is excatlly the point of an auction (not knowing). Why didn't you put a limit before entering a bitting war, yo should have been able to buy 4-5 players at same level for so many tokens, just by leaving bidding wars

With 45 tokens i wouldve been able to buy a whole new 5 star team xD

After round 15 i was just curious to see how many tokens he still had.

I cannot follow all conversations related to this. But I think I support you. As managers of teams which are poor in terms of tokens, I always know I should wisely use my tokens instead of complaining that other people have too many tokens.

Limiting no. of tokens on each auction is good and important practice. Besides, I also observe participants of some ongoing or completed auctions in order to identify some auction rich managers who are online. As token poor manager, I will avoid to compete with them in auctions.

Thing is there are many hints which will help you decide whether or not to bid against certain managers. Looking at his current squad, does he had open bids on other players of the same position, how great is his need, etc. I set token limits on players I target as desirable and stick to them, if I see 3 or more bidders round 1 i sometimes reconsider my position according to the above criteria.

For instance top value player of day 1 auction is a 18year old DC DMC with CK SA(?) 89q. I place an early bid to speculate and continue watching the lists. 10 minutes before the end of the auction i get two more bidder one of which has open bids on 7 other players. I instantly rescan the list and find a 18 yr old DC q88 that matches my need perfectly for 15 million less and sniped the auction at 1T. The other player went to 15 rounds. The only time I will say all in on a player is when I see a proven player that has 3/4 years with a club that has consistent stellar numbers that meets my needs exactly. Nordgens can be crapshoots, even after power training, I'd rather stick to the devil I know than the one I don't.

Absently dominated my cup opponent too btw.

Fully agree with you on this. Actually we may know a lot about the the bidder e.g. whether they like using auction or prefer nego/scout (many players 5star plus and with SA?), what the position they are in shortage, whether they prefer young or old players, whether they have a high chance to stop bidding because cash will soon be used up, etc. There may be many more. Different people may have different interpretation to the facts obtained from other bidders' team profile. But I 'm sure these information help us to determine whether we will complete with them in auctions.

On my second account I'm less invested so I'm more willing to keep bidding.

I bid against a person who had almost 6* team and he didn't need the player but he kept bidding. On my main I would of stopped past 5.
