Bulk orders for exchanges
-
I only recently got the game so I'm just now starting the Team Affinity grinds. So far I've gotten deGrom, Lemahieu, Soto, and I'm close on Machado and Darvish. It's safe to say this has involved a LOT of exchanges.
I was curious if I was missing anything with getting all those orders in quickly and efficiently. I thought the website would be the answer, but it loads SOOO slowly for each order. By the time I get one or two in I'm already outbid. It seems to actually work better when entering them in the game itself. Is that the preferred method for putting in a lot of orders quickly or am I missing something? Last year there was a Chrome extension for the market, but I couldn't find one for 20.
Also, are there any other Finest guys I should target? Maybe Mookie Betts? I don't want to replace Seager at 2nd, but he could play right over Jackson at least until I get Trout which should be soon. I only need one more collection for Trout and could get it done for free if I wait until I get my 2nd cover athlete at around level 80 silver.
My current lineup is:
99 Tatis Jr at SS
99 Reggie Jackson in RF
99 Mantle in CF
99 Soto in LF
99 Jose Ramirez at 3rd
99 Corey Seager at 2nd
99 D'Arnaud at C
Bench= 99 Stanton, 99 Hornsby, 99 Biggio, 98 Lofton, 99 BrettRotation = 99 Buehler, 99 Kluber, 99 Cole, 99 Gibson, 99 Lamet (deGrom will likely bump one of these guys out)
Bullpen = 95 Neshek, 94 Sims, 98 Hand, 99 Hader, 97 Kimbrel, 99 Miller, 98 Gagne

Betts for Reggie, Perez for D’arnaud

Only change you have to make is getting Reggie outta there
-
I figured as much regarding Reggie. I had been using 99 Stanton and 99 Arozarena, but I was looking for another lefty bat and I've liked Reggie's cards in the past. This late in the games life cycle though I'm not sure if I'm thrilled about his subpar defense and low vision (even if people say vision doesn't matter as much as last year).

Does anyone have strong opinions on 98 Ketel Marte? I could lock in my finest cards and stick him in center for now and move Mantle to right until I get Trout. Defense still isn't great, but he is a switch hitter and I loved using that card last year.

Card is a stud but his maximum value comes from the 2B spot where he'd be a top tier option...in the OF he's not even top 10. His bat is the truth I just wouldn't handicap myself in the OF like that is all.

That's true, and I guess I should have someone with more speed in center to make up for Soto's lack of range. Maybe I'll add him to the bench or start him at 2nd if I ever struggle with Seager. Thanks for the input.

You could also move Seager to 3rd and put JRam on the bench unless you love that card. Finest Betts is legit

Lineup looks fun! Not bad for just starting out!
No, you're not missing anything and you said it right - placing orders on the marketplace website is way less efficient than placing them in-game. In my experience, I feel like in the time it takes to place 1 order on the website, I can place at least 2 in-game. No, no bulk orders. Logical business move - you want the cards, you gotta put in the work. For me, I "put in the work" to be prepared for the TA4 drop and, sure enough, it was worth it!
With the Finest set, I've only used the pitchers more than the hitters. Santander & Candelario have been on my switch hitting team and have had positive moments. For pitching, I've enjoyed using Bieber, Lamet, deGrom, Darvish, Lance Lynn, & Tyler Bauer.
Good luck, yo!

only change I'd make is to get a first baseman in your team. playing with 8 is only going to put you at a disadvantage...

Lmao, good catch. When I posted this I was using 99 Helton, but I'm going to try Lemahieu there tonight since I haven't used him yet. I also got Macahado for 3rd so Ramirez is now on the bench.

I can’t believe the progress you’ve made for just getting the game. That’s unreal
