Is it possible for non-token buyers to have a fair amount of succes in this game? I'm not talking trebles every season, but the occasional trophy would be nice, and finishing in the top seven more often than not. I'm only a new level two manager, and doing great in my first matches, but buying new, good players (not too old 4-5 stars) is rather difficult. And I can foresee difficulties when I go up a level, causing my players to drop a star. I could end up with a full 1-star squad if I can not replace them with better players... Training helps, but I'm not sure if I can get players to increase one star per season with training.
