    I logged in today and found that I had two new friends whom I have no recollection of ever playing with, much less sending or receiving a friend request. How did these two players get added to my friends list?

    I might be dating myself here but this sounds like a case of MySpace Tom.

    Oh the memories

    LOL

    Sometimes at the end of a coin game , where there is no option to gift balls ...the continue option is on the right hand side  and the add friend is on the left ( where the continue would normally be ) .....this I believe is the main reason for these friends to appear.  it's easy done to click the wrong button without realising  when you are in a rush and not paying attention .

    That’s a great theory, but the friends are not anyone I’ve ever played with/against.

    Well you have a hell of a memory then ....name the last  20 people you played in coin games ?  Plus sometimes it can take quite a bit of time for someone to notice the miniscule little friends dot on the app  before accepting, so could your memory go back say  3 months ...anyway you get the point . Also obviously , you don't have to play with someone to send them a friend invite .

    The only way to friend someone on here is to send an invite  and have that accepted  or vice versa.  Unless you are suggesting that multiple people have found a way to circumvent that method  and drop themselves conveniently onto peoples friends list ...assuming that's true , 2 questions spring to mind :  How and Why ? 

    Personally , I go for the accidently requested /added and subsequently forgotten  reason.

    I could see one friend getting added after a delay that I've forgotten about, but I had two show up at the same time. I'm not even suggesting that they added me. I could just be a game glitch, of which there are many.
