Buying Players

[ryemck]

I wouldn't mind really but I also have 3 or 4 players that have to be put in positions they don't play in, also I don't understand bidding.

I won, then it goes into knockout stages? :S I don't understand, there's stages of bidding? so I have to use like 2 tokens to have a chance of getting a player?

Basically, it goes like this:

You make a bid in the main stage (before the deadline reaches zero). If you are the only bidder, you win. If not (and 9 out of 10 times this will happen), you go into knockout stages where those who bid a token before the deadline will bid amongst themselves for the player in each knockout stage (The time is decreased to 30 seconds after the first stage, then 20 seconds after the second stage and carries on from there after). This will continue until the player is eventually sold.

However, some bids (which people have posted screenshots of) can go on a ridiculous amount of rounds, while others can finish quite early on. Obviously, you'd need to use some common sense as well (mainly when to stop bidding if it continues and compared to the amount of tokens you have available).

While others can give you better tips, one I can give is look at those you are bidding against. If you see a team that has a vastly superior quality to you team wise, don't bother bidding as they are most likely people with plenty of tokens available.

You didn't win if anyone else bid in the same round.
Think of it like this: your bid entitles you to another chance to bid in the following round.
You only win when nobody else bids in the current round.

(of course, if NOBODY bids in the current round, then the winner is the last bidder in the previous round)


Try to avoid bidding wars where 3 or 4 people are bidding in the knockout stages.
