Longest bidding war in your T11 experience?

Guess what??? 5 rounds!!! For a 5 star AMC on the 8th day of season 2. He was 22. I kept him till season 5 and sold him on the first day of season 6. I usually buy gud young players during off times after the first 7 days of the season. Luck required as I don't buy tokens and don't like to do surveys. I like the hardships of the game. Ya, but I do enjoy watching bidding wars. Saw one going 2 the 22nd round yesterday on the 1st day of season for a 5 star MC dribbler who is to be a 6 star in about 5-6 skill points. he was young too. Had fun watching it.

Went 14 earlier today, mainly due to really needing the player and it only being 2 of us from round 2. You can generally tell the guys that are gonna give up easily, thought he was one of them but after 14 rounds it was time to bow out.

Had a look at the guys team that won the player (18 year old DL, 59Q, 24 million) he already had 3 guys that could play the position, one the same rating but a year older! IMO hes a bigger idiot than i for wasting 15 tokens on a player he doesnt need!

I didn't partake in this, but just had to see how much attention a 1.35mil free agent at level 2 would attract. Massive case of the "Can't waste the tokens I've used up syndrome" here. Madness!

I did that in my second season. :S. I didnt know what I was doing then and bidded for an 1m free agent. Costed me 25 tokens, 2/3 of the tokens I saved up. So sad. That was before I knew about the early season madness. Now I just avoid even looking at players first 7 days of new season.

Nice deal man!!! Got him cheap. Only 13T. Well, once I bought a player 2 skill POINTS away from scout off the transfer market by just one token and turned into scout on the first match. This is his 3rd season with me and he is 4 star, 1 Q away from 5 star. So I can play him next season and then a season as sub. Then when he is 27 and 2 star, I can sell him. What a buy!!!

My was 10, just to piss of the other guy, because he only bid in the last second.
Normaly i try to buy early in the morning or late at night, whait until the last minute, to see If there is any more people interested. More then 2 other managers and i am out.
Normaly i spend 1 or 2 tokens.

Around 25 at level 4, and recently 11 and 13 at level 6, all for 18 YO 5* players.

He could have bought a scout.

rofl that was u? I remember that bidding fight, that guy was just idiot, he was bidding 2-3 times per round just for fun...

Just spent 20 tokens to bid on a 4 star players with SA in a bidding war against another Vietnamese. I am Vietnamese but I really don't like to have my people in the auction because they bid like crazy ... My first goal for this season was not to spend over 20 tokens for new players, but Nordeus put me into a league of 7 managers whose teams are stronger than mine. So, I have already wasted total 100 tokens, 45 of which were wasted because I did not win the players I wanted ... Playing against Thai managers are tough too ...

Was away from computer ... when i comeback :p ....
