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.

I always take a really good look at the teams that are bidding. This includes age of squad, money, needs etc. I can guarantee you that in "some cases" for whatever reason, you "are" bidding against bots my friend. Don't worry, you are not the only one who has noticed this stuff. Not saying this is the case here, but, it does happen.
