Yes its very inspiring and great to have these 9* players... BUT it's also very expensive and it takes a long time to get a player all the way to the 9* quality range by training. Ofc anyone can get it by personal trainer but its even more expensive. At our level on our server (2nd highest level on my server) these players are needed to compete with the best teams on there.
Another thing, After many seasons... An AMC with Shadow Striker isn't exactly that amazing... Miku tends to have similar career stats to Dennis Bergkamp for goal ratio/games played over a large number of games. (approx 0.4 goals/game.)
