Literally the same identical thing happened yesterday. Another 15 tokens gone . yet today, the perfect player appeared 18 years old. DL DC. worth 5 million so will train fast. 4*, 4 points off 5*. with a sense of deja vu i kicked off the bidding. NOONE else bid! and i won him for 1 token. madness!
the $5M has much to do with it. the average manager will not spend $5M on any player. Tommys will, as will other people who know the value of them. I will, of course, but that is likely to only happen once per season.
