question about debt

[thetoe]

Thanks guys. Good advice Saransh. In the end I think I will still have to buy $$ with tokens. That is OK.

I'm OK with how it turned out. I have been trying to get high quality gen players at 18 years old for a while. Many times I have been outbid for them. One night I saw 2 such players at central midfield (where I needed to strengthen) and bid on them. I did overpay, use a lot of tokens and now have to spend even more tokens to get out of debt, but I got my guys! My new central midfield pair for 4 seasons at least!

In case anyone is wondering, I am level 4 (non-token buyer but I collect them from free offers/videos). The 2 players were both MC, 18 years old and quality 38 (5 star). Both were gen players. One valued at $5.7 mil, the other at $6.2 mil. I spent about $15 million and 45 tokens (most of my token savings from last season) to win both auctions. I've been training them any chance I get for 3 days and they are now both quality 40 (5 star) and the values increased to $7.3 mil / $6 mil.

This put me in a huge debt. After selling my old MCs and winning some cup/CL games I'm still $4 million in the hole. But I'm still totally happy with this move!

If those players didn't have special abilities (which I gather they didn't) you have been ripped off. Those players are so common on the market (mine anyway) that they often to unsold. Best time to bid is through the night. I sometimes am up in the night feeding the baby and check the market. This morning I got 2 players 19 and 20yrs old both NG's both with special abilities. I spent 3 tokens in total.

Maybe I did pay too much, but I don't know if it is because of special abilities. I have found most of them to have no effect on performance, so I don't bother to look for them anymore.

Also, I specifically wanted to buy 18 yr old NGs to see if it was worthwhile to buy and train them, it's part of learning the game for me. And I have tried to get these players unsuccessfully before.
