As we can see he is in selling mode ( refer S3), deep cutting to buy for next season. I will bet his cash count is huge, but compared to the level he is at it may nor may not be sufficient.

As for the bench being short, Injuries can be booster remedied, but we do not know what his booster stock level is, nor his token count.
The only concern, at this stage with the bench, is if a dc gets red carded, the is no replacement?

Come on Mushin, give us more detail.

Why is it obvious that he is not a token buyer? Because he has not bought 50T players off the scout list? He could have assembled this team in the last week. At level 1and 2 I never saw orange star players, except on the scout list, but you would still need a bucket full to bid for quality players at that level, especially at peak time.
