As for bonus I have all my matches except friendlies set at £2.5k, when buying players dont go for any when the skill level ends in 4 or 9 as you will get into a bidding war, players get blinded by thinking O he is only 1 point of another star and try for him, but they dont take into account there are lots of other players thinking the very same thing, all you get its a very expensive player and quite ofton end up losing him at a high cost of tokens so stay away from them!. 21-24 is ideal, if you do buy older players say 28-30 then set there training to the lowest setting, this guaranties them not getting injured while training and so you get the most out of them. As you dont get alot of tokens then look for the HOT PROSPECTS in the auction, these will be faster trainers and you can pick them up real cheap, try to get players with multiple positions as this helps with cover for injuries or suspensions.
