Tokens

[Jack Random]

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.

It is, I am having a bit of success
League: 5th Season 1 3rd Season 2 On-going Season 3 [2nd after 2 matches]
Cup: Preliminary Season 1 Quarter Finals Season 2 On-going Season 3 [ Just won 2-0 in Qualifying 1st leg]
Champions League: DNQ Season 1 DNQ Season 2 On-going Season 3 [Drew 1st game 1-1 so 3rd]
but I agree with you about the fact that I have had the cash to buy a player but had to bid against a token buyer. Also I see no point in having scout players if only token buyers can afford them, I know people who don't buy tokens can buy scout players but it will take 1.5 seasons to generate enough Tokens for a scout player. I currently only have 12 Tokens whereas people will have 100's and even 1000's!

It is pretty hard, but my suggestion is to find the right time of the day to go to the transfer market, and to have rigft timing in order to buy a player. I did very well this season, changing all my 3* for 4* with about 5-6 tokens just because i was on in the midnight. And about matches, try to have the formation which counters the other team. Its easy in the beggining though, because there are many inactive and illegal teams.

Yes, it is perfectly possible, at least in the earlier levels.

I'm currently on level 5, i have 1 league title, and always finished top 3, most times fighting for the title until the last games. I've qualified to CL's Knockout stage several times, and went to the semi's once, battling way stronger teams. I won last season's Cup.

To the 35 Tokens a season, from media, i added about 20 Tokens from farming. Basically wasted on Youth players, which i can't keep at high level because i can't afford to Power train them. You do have to learn where to invest or not, when to invest, etc, depending on your time-zone, server and level...
