    I have won MANY an auction like this.
    I use this same tatics.And another good thing is when there 3 or 4 free agents in a row ,usually there will be same managers trying to make some money.If you go to higher rounds for the 1st player and win , they will quit from another ones and you could win with just one token.

    If you bid in the last second you can snipe bidders who didn't bid.. But of course, this is stupid if an early bid is placed because it just makes more effort to try and squeeze a bid in the last second even when any bid at any time would have qualified the player

    As what @cracicot said... People who bid multiple rounds probably don't know what they're doing, they think it's ebay where the highest bidder at the time of ending, wins the auction... Someone take these players to Room 101, they need coaching on how to play this game right lol

    I tend to switch the play around in auctions. sometimes I place the bid in early in the KO Round, sometimes at the end of the KO Round, sometimes in the middle of the KO Round. Try to confuse the other bidder sometimes. But normally on my main account I value a player first before entering the bidding wars. 2 seasons ago I got outbid 25 KO rounds on a 18 year old 5*94 MR playmaker simply because I was not willing to bid more than 25 KO Rounds so I dropped out and waited for another auction.

    With the Troll City account. Yeah that was done on purpose, purely for entertainment purposes, That went 87 KO Rounds which I won in the end. All those tokens were obtained by saving them up over 4 seasons or a few videos and it's an account I would use approx a 35T/season budget otherwise. If I had been bidding on a similar player on my main account, I would of dropped out at KO Round 10.

    You mean by sending a friend request in the last few seconds so it takes up the space where he places a bid so he cant bid at the last second?

    This bug was only on Android devices and has been removed. Using it was considering an exploit.

    If anyone encounters this bug again, I urge them to contact Nordeus support right away.
