Ok here's an example of why transfer market prices will go so high for certain players.
This season I'm level 43 where the maximum value for a player appearing on the transfer market is 128 million.
For the previous 5/6 seasons the maximum value for any player on any of those levels has been 127 million.
So this season I can deduce that a player showing as 128m @18 years old is going to be good. No?
After so many seasons of blindly trying to find fast training players on auctions I now have an indicator as to which players will be better.
Result = I'm prepared to spend "more" tokens than normal, hence price increases.
Now. At the same time as I've seen a difference in max value for players on auction so have players 5/6 levels below me, and below them, and 5/6 levels above me and above them. And again, after so many seasons of not having seen a difference in value they now have an indicator as to which are the "best" players to buy.
Result = bidding wars which can push prices to over 100 tokens.
There's a table of maximum prices somewhere in the forum. Would be interesting to know if this theory is just billshut or not?
