Season 77 - Week 4

[HoofDaddy]

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.
