You'll never know unless you try.
I regret not bidding on a player at the beginning of this season because I thought there'd be a bidding war - there wasn't, and I missed the chance.
I went for it, and had decided to use up till 7T. luck was on my side the token buyer didnt bid in the next round and I won the player in knockout round 2, im so happy now i got a 5 star striker
