Season 78 - Are you ready?

[Arion]

I lost a bid at round 25. Second time that this happened; the last time was last year.

At the start of the knock-out rounds, there were about 4 players, and those remained for a few rounds, but one stubborn user kept bidding.

If I bade just before knock-out round 25, he would have lost as he did not bade further, but I did not want to take the risk as he was bidding just before the start of every knock-out round. So, he paid near double the market value for the player; it seemed that it was a fast-trainer though. Was the player worth 25 tokens? Maybe, especially due to the fact of the poor transfer market and no 5-star 'nordgens'. But, taking into account the overall price (25T and double the market value), not worth it. So, if any of you guys face a situation like this, it is better to step out earlier.

25 tokens lost on one player, and ealier I lost 7 tokens on another player. I did manage to win some bids, albeit in the higher rounds. That is enough for today.

In this case a negotiations offer would've been better... I got a 25-y.o. player for 17T (due to intense bidding wars and lack of needed position players). I feel negotiations should be better in those levels. But it's of course insanely hard to find an ST/AML, which I got from negos. I'll now only need a multi position AMR then I won't be looking at the market for 2-3 seasons more.
