when should stop bidding ?

[Temidayo_]

Wawu. Just realizing the boatload of tokens you guys spend acquiring players. That's a lot of tokens wasted. For me, any way [ I've never spent a $ on the game, neither do I farm resources.]

I've signed 14 players this season, about 10 of them with only 1 token. No ****. That's 10 tokens spent acquiring 10 players. Wtf? How? By several methods. Some of them include:

1. Signing very specific kind of players other managers are likely to ignore e.g players above 30yo. Or players who may be considered undesirable by other managers for their most comfortable position. Example? My current starting LB's most comfortable position is DML. He's quite comfortable at DL tho.

2. For the lower levels where manages may be strapped for funds, by going after very expensive players. Other managers may be unwilling to spend as much as you can on the most expensive players on 99%.

3. Waiting out the rush of the first days of the season when several managers have wasted their tokens and can no longer engage in long bidding wars.

4. Being picky with auctions and avoiding very desirable players. Most of the time, I don't bother bidding if a player already has 3 managers looking to sign them 40 minutes to the end of the auction. That player is far too desirable to everyone. But sometimes, I bid, because, Cc: 5 below.

5. Watching for patterns and managers who have made bids for several players very early. Usually means they are unavailable and aren't watching. They're counting on luck to win them at least one auction. I usually arrive to steal those players from them in the last second.
