Strange bidding, can anyone explain?

I just tried to get a player on auction, a DC, 23 years old, 98%/189 about to get a 6th star. But another bidder popped up and was pretty aggressive, in the end I backed off, it wasn't worth it. Not unusual until you consider that the guy who won is a level above me so is therefore bidding on a player about to earn his 5th star. I took a look at his squad and they all were 6 or 7 stars, he had no shortage of DCs, this new player was way below standard.

I took a look at his squad ten minutes later and the new player has gone. Why was this guy so desperate to get this player? I can only imagine two scenarios:

1. Troll/Bored kid with a lot of tokens playing with the transfer market for kicks. Bought the player then sacked him.

2. He has another lower level team short on tokens or cash and he sold the player there. It would have to be on the same server though.

Any other theories?

#2 I guess.

That would still be a loss if he had sold the player via negotiations to another team of his, as his other team will still have to pay the minimum transfer amount of tokens and cash. The minimum amount of tokens paid goes to Nordeus, and not to his higher level team.

So we also talk about personel life here!
He can do anything he want.Don't be like girls lol

It's his feeling of losing time/effort/cash and disbelieving in T11 lah,bro...
Anyway, To TS: Take it easy..life still going on and U still play this game..so just think that U overspend a meal today...and u will feel happy again...

Maybe he is planning to sell a higher quality player who is old and slow or a poor performer?

The new player wouldn't show in his team if he already had every spot taken - he would be given 7 days from winning the auction to make room for him. It could well be a case that the player appears in his team once another player is sold and then that player may be power trained to get up to the standard needed for the team.

The player did appear in his team, but a few minutes later was gone. Sold or sacked as there wasn't enough time for an auction.

well...maybe he has lots of token and money...and he think the DC is fast trainer...and end up he is not...so........he sack him.... who care the token and money spend if one has thousands and billion money?

Or maybe he has that many tokens he has decided spending 1 extra on a name change is a good idea too?

I hadn't thought of that, but no, the player had fewer stars than the rest of the squad so he stood out. He just disappeared from the squad.

I quite see myself maybe. It happened to me too, sometimes I over bid for a player just not to lose him and after that I was forced to sell him because I used to many cash. This might happened with him. It's a possibility but maybe not this happened.

What I think is that you didn't saw him because he already had over 22 player signed and you can't see unassigned players.

Cheers!

Don't think he was sacked. Name changed and then powertrained or used personal trainer on him are the two most likely possibilities
