    I never spend so many tokens on the transfermarket for one player because there is a very simple way to win a one on one war.
    If you bid the first second of the round he gone bid also and then you wait thil the last second of the next round (in the next round he will not bid because he is highest qualified bidder and I don't bid) and then bid 90% of the time I win.
    Season 1: League 2 - CL Didn't play - CUP didn't play
    Season 2: League Winner - CL Winner - CUP Winner
    Season 3: League Ongoing(momently 1st) - CL Ongoing (group fase 3th place) - CUP Ongoing (qualification rounde)

    This does not work against seasoned vets. You get lucky in the lower rounds, but as you progress in levels, it barely works. You get burned by this once and you learn...

    Almost all of us in this forum use this "trick". it is not new and usually only works against noobs. I have won many with this method and have tried once this new season and it did not work. The person i was in a fight with ALWAYS bid at less than 1 second...like PERFECT! I could not believe that someone has the ability to do this. I mean literally at the last second. I wait for ONE second and just as it is changing to WON, the bid comes through. and it went 17 rounds of this. It is not normal. I tried this trick at round 10 as that is where I like to draw the line, but you cant do it when the other player has a great internet connection and/or perfect timing.

    Seriously though, I thought I won the auction at least 10 times. I have never seen this before.
