Choosing the daily player?

[Altiplano]

This would be tempting if it came along after Saturday.
My 7star left back was left on the bench for last nights match due to a yellow card, top of the table match today. Didn't bother to change my squad last night, so this morning I get this daily player offering to replace my lowest rated player in my starting eleven.
Did I accidentally manage to manipulate the offer?

So you have 1250T and you receive a 99T recommended player, while other people and me receive 400/1000T recommendation?

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.

[Altiplano]

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?

[KenoticFC]

maybe it has something to do with the overall quality of your DL players, how many do you have. Or even the opponents quality is taken into account.

I have a lunatic offer to replace my GK which never have a single match played. He's a player i bought for nego purpose 79% and now he is 80%. He is not even in my bench. Cheaper the your offer 1149token.

I will only buy him if his quality wil not drop 20% every season till he retire.

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

[dave1311]

Fair point but with so many tokens in the bank I would have a punt and power train to hell. I’m also thinking that I would take 99T over 1200T any day. Ultimately I think this whole thing is designed to make you think that the 79T recommendation is a bargain. I remember the days where 79T for a player was as crazy as 679T is now. I too would probably go through negotiations but if I had unlimited tokens my mindset may be different especially if I was going for a CL or League title. Each to their own but I respect your opinions Gents.

Why would you? High quality doesn't matter. Having 180% team on a long run is no better than having 120% team.
