A draw with 2 away goals isn’t too bad, even though playing an aggressive counter like 4-1-3-1-1 (4 defenders vs 4 attackers is risky, because there would be lots of occasions where a good long ball would break the backline easily).
Try to always save up to having at least 100T for unexpected bargains in FTs and key position personnel, usually being available in between 10pm to 2am GMT time. More regular T-income is easier from joining associations (gold1 for 50T is realistic, before trying for platinum later with a well-trained team). Also can do surveys and offers with the free token option as well for some quick and easy Ts for immediate use when needed.
