Exactly!!! For a non token buyer, it is practically unpractical to spend 18 tokens on a player. In those many, I can buy about four to five 5 star players in mid season. Academy is totally useless. The only benefit is that I get the players early in the season and I sign the free player and sell him off. I got 3.5 million last season and that helped in finances. Nordeus shud definitely reduce the no of tokens if it cannot make it free. Anything near 5 tokens is acceptable. A non token buyer can't even collect 18 tokens in the 7 days time period that is given to sign the player.
