Don't know how they do it but my assumption is that they are token buyers who spend a lot of money for their own self gratification. Personally I have not spent anything on the game but do watch plenty of ads to get boosters, so am technically giving Nordeus an income. I can just imagine these players tossing themselves off every game they watch. Sad really I regard them as an annoyance and when I come across them in my league I just play for 2nd place and hope I don't get them the next season.
