I think T11 randomly throws points and at the end of the day you get players with 40-40-40 average...they'll match each skills value I think

When is the best time to sell/buy players for the next season... near the end of the current season or the beginning of the next? I ask for two reasons...

1) I have two players who are at x9, but probably won't progress enough for me to keep them for next season. Should I sell them being on the verge of gaining that next star OR achieve the next star and THEN try to sell them? Which way will be more attractive to potential bidders?

2) When is the best time to buy a scout?

- If I buy them at the end of the season, they will immediatly lose a star, but they will be cheaper than the next level up. AND... I can get it back rather quickly the next season.

OR

- I can buy them at the beginning of the next season and build them up to the next star over the course of the current season
Best time to buy players, well, for me I like to look out for 5 star players (ending with x8 or x9) in the market 2-3 days before season end...I like to avoid the rush and saves me some tokens. First day of the season, you can have a nibble in the market, sometimes some managers have not gone into the market "to avoid" rush hour traffic, but the rush hour traffic does not materialize sometimes. Hahaha

Anyway, buy them early of the season is fine, maybe by the end of the first week.

1) Having a x9 is much more attractive than a x0 despite the additional star. It's like selling something at $1.99 regardless of the crap you;re selling

2) I've always bought scouts early season. And usually I get those with x8 or x9, so I end up having a World Class during the season. I think buying a x9 at the end of the season in preparation for next season is fine as they will be at scout level next season once you get them to WC this.
