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!
