I said in another thread that I had about 4 T11 generated players given to me at the start of the season to replace those I have not yet signed. I almost kept two of them since they were better than 2 of my worst players, simply because I have to tank this season with that account. But I believe they were 2* players and right now I have four 2* players, so tanking is going to happen as over half my team is 2/3* and I am not going to put out my remaining tokens to replace half the team. I would be looking at 4-7T per player on average for a total of ~50T to get twelve 4/5* players.
So noobs in this group: tank every 2nd season if you want to save tokens and have the best chance at trophies.
