The new transfer market. How is it works ?

It’s few days now that the transfer market working with a different way.
It’s not only that we can find nordgens (players not from other human managers but from bot T11 teams) in different times zones than the usual 04.00- 05.00 GMT and it’s not the new option where we take out token back after a lost auction.

It’s the fact that we can see only a range of players in the current tm.
Usually it’s 4-5 5* players, about the same with 4* players and the rest are 3* players.

As I have 5 teams with different levels (LV30, LV15, LV9, and two parked for many seasons in LV1) and saw that this situation is in all of my teams, I thought ...
Ok, if I can see so many 3* players in the market, that means another manager, 2 levels below me, can see them as 5* players.
But why never had a full t.m. with 5* ?
My thought is that this is a specific “pack” of players for every manager., at any time.

I had also an observation (among others).
Yesterday evening (21 of march) I spotted an interesting 5* player and add him in my favorite list.
As my team is complete I didn’t bid on him but kept the pic.
Today, evening again, when I logged, the tm had again this player in my favorite list and this time I bid on him and got him with one token.
He is not old, with 3 positions, very good stats and a good discount in his selling price.

An older time this could provoke a small bidding war.
Why not now, where we can take our token back if we loose the auction ?
Weird

Maybe because only me or other 1-2 (or just few) managers could see that player ?

Note : Rudi is a human player, not a bot (or at least looks that way – with a real photo in his profile)

Is this the new scenario ?

* I took the dates of files too, just to show you some evidence.

Yes, this is the answer that you are looking for ; I asked one friend who is -1Lvl about 4 stars players(from my view) from TL... and guess what... he can not see the nordgen players, but he saw 1 player from human team; myth busted .

Last days I am observing as well the transfers.

No traffic at all. No bidding war , most players are won at initial round if someone bids for them, because I have seen inumerous no bids!

I feel like a ghost wandering in auctions

ended few minutes ago (for my other team)
a high 5* nordgen ST (from the fast ones) ,
waiting only for my bidding ?
lol

I have had previous seasons with "ghost auctions" as Cloverfield put it- easily win, rarely saw bidders at the time I was looking, good deals with no bids.

In another season I considered that the group of players who are in (or share access to) "my" auction list probably changes season to season. Sometimes in league we play nearly the same teams 2-3 seasons it feels, then all new faces.... So I suspect the same in auction. Some seasons the auction and league opponents seem to be mostly from a similar time zone or geographic area (one that gives me many AM match times, mostly evening for them, fair times for both).

I wouldn't expect to see a "full list" of 5* players, there are lots of ways to exclude that possibility if Nord wants.

Same here. 18 year old, 97 rated nordgen waiting for my bid only.
Thing was, had a full squad.
Gets better.
In my squad I got a 24 year old 99 rated player who's contract expires end of season..........with a 1 token negotiation bid on him.
What could I do?
Out with the old, in with the new. Strange days indeed.

As i wrote down eariler few times: i'm checking hourly twice while i can and i have ONLY 3-4* BOT u-19 nordgens... NEVER met 5* u-19 nordgen... same as you NIK... only older ones with 5* and of course some 5* sells with another managers!
where are you u19 5* nordgens??? I'm so sad

[woopypooky]

Could it be the amount of tokens in one savings influence the number players available in auction?
I have 200 tokens in saving and arent seeing any nordgens , only 3-4 five star player everyday.

I don't understand the purpose of the new transfer market. Only four 5* players which most of the times are old farts (75% is ranging from 28-32 years) and sometimes a young player but doesn't look like a fast trainer based on their selling price. So far I have seen 1 nordgen of 5* at the highest transfer price in the last week or so. And of course this one was quality 131.

Then I get about eight 4* players and the rest are 3* players. I would really like a good explanation about this as I don't see the purpose behind this tactic. Transfer market has gone from top to flop. I don't even care about it anymore. The interest in the game was declining but is dropping like an anvil in the canyon right now because of this. Pity.

Agree.
