Choosing the daily player?

99T???? For an 18yo almost 7* player. And all those tokens banked!! I would have taken that today, never mind at the weekend. He would soon power train with your abundance of Greens, surely you would not miss 100 or so to get him back there and beyond. That’s the lowest offer I’ve seen.

This is what I mean. With all the tokens and greens in the bank why was I offered such a good deal? I was expecting the same 1000 token player that others have been getting.
Did having a 3 star player in the starting 11 fool the game engine? Was it because he played the previous match? Is there a way to manipulate the players we are offered?

Yep. At first glance it's a very tempting offer. But then think it through. This offer player becomes what on Sunday? A 19 year old at 99%. Now that's a negotiation list player. And who pays 99 tokens through negotiations? Nobody.
So I could wait until Sunday and find the same player through negotiations, 19 years old, 99% and pay 30 tokens for him. 10 to the seller and 20 to Nordeus and at the side of this player from daily offers I'm getting a bargain. Right? Wrong. I'm not getting a bargain because I wouldn't normally offer 10 tokens to a manager with a 1 position, no special ability player for sale. How many ten token offers have I seen for my players over the last 5 seasons? Not many.
Again my point is that, having worked through what will happen to this player over the next few days I know I can buy cheaper from Sunday onwards through negotiations. But my mind set has been slightly altered as to what I consider a bargain to be if I'm thinking that I could buy the same player for 30 tokens in negotiations, when in fact I wouldn't normally offer more than 4 (total to pay 15 max.)
I've said this in another thread, but these offers are just a marketing/psychology tactic from Nordeus in order to get us to blindly accept the higher prices we are paying for players through the auction system. 99 tokens for this player is only a bargain during the first week of a season, not the last few days.

Totally dis-agree with you Dave. That 18 year old will be a 19 year old on sunday and only 99% so how on earth can you recommend someone buy him now for 99 T's lol
