This way you need to buy (bidding war) or scout - once every 2 seasons on average and 70 tokens accumulated should come good.

I put myself in Nordeus' shoes (Yuck!) and if my strategy was to milk the game for everything it currently has and dont care about the future, I can kinda' understand the decisions

Old TM Buying> Lots of choice, some bidding wars, many cheap purchases, scouts not very popular > Token Spend (players) Baseline
New TM Buying > Much Less choice, many bidding wars, no cheap purchases, scouts more popular > Increased Token Spending (players)

Old TM Selling > Good buyers market from lower levels, Good Cash generation > Minimal Token spend on Cash
New TM Selling > No buyers for 3*/4*, No Cash Generation> Tokens for Cash > Drives toward a buyers market > More Tokens

So heres a suggestion for the Devs / Management. Reduce the Cash generation from tournaments, matches and utilities. That way your customers will be forced to spend Tokens on buying Cash as well as Players! :-)
The problem with tanking is that you are missing out on your players premium performing ages (and not too mention it is very boring) and when you lose 2 seasons tanking that will bring them closer to retirement age and what when they retire? as you cannot replace them with this stupid transfer market?
