WHY???? would anyone with a brain bid 6-8-more rounds on a 3 star player?

OK, I conceive of the unusual case where you might actually want to buy a 3 star player ... but i can't imagine any time when you'd go more than 2-3 tokens for them.
So why do I keep running into these idiots 2 levels above me who want to get into bidding wars over a player who would only be 3 stars to them? Once or twice, sure, but 2 out of every 3 times I hit the market???

Sheer stupidity beyond comprehension? Or Nordeus bots?
This is a case where the conspiracy theory is far more rational than the alternative.

Because there is a lack of 4 and 5 star players on the server for them and 3 star is all they can get. I have the exact same problem...I get 2-3 5* players per day at best and there is ALWAYS an insane bid war for them.

I totally agree but beware since putting a grouch and diss against cheats my team has had no results even though better and formation pluses better than opponents had 10 yellows and three red cards in last 6 games

I would say it's because of this new Cup format. Seen many many teams with a stong 11 even 13 players. The rest just absolute rubbish sitting on the bench. Which brings the team average right down,so they get an easier cup run against teams with the same average. Have a cup game tonight,his first team are ALL a star or 2 better than my first 11. His bench has only 1/2/3 Star players. Clever move by Nordous,people having bidding wars on ALL players

Apparently they use the top 11 players for their calculations, so fitting your team with 3* players to bring your average down has no effect whatsoever.
