"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."

You never saw orange stars on 1 or 2? Well, you are lucky. Because I surely did. I make the assumption that he is not a T buyer *because* of the paucity of his bench. Also, I would expect a backup GK to be the second purchase I made after a good striker were I someone who had plenty of T. Yes, I think it's obvious. Maybe I'm wrong and he just had a end of season fire sale but I rather doubt it. Maybe he'll tell us more??
