Exactly. 18 y.o's will cost a bundle. That's why I like the 20 to 22 year olds, they are less expensive, less sought after and still young enough to be useful for a couple seasons. Also I like to apply skill points in a particular way, so I either buy as expensive as I can afford 20 year old (a few to be core of team) and any age up to 29 (I don't like risking retirement too soon, I kind of want to get a season for my token for sure) if they are five star with attributes that will suit my team.
