I don't buy players in the first week of a new season, too many lunatics about throwing tokens around like dirt. I prefer to buy 5* youngsters late in the season like now, and have them ready for next season.

Today, I purchased an 18yo 5* DC/DCM with only 2 skill points from being 6*, got him for only 2 tokens. Always plenty of bargains around this time of the season, especially shortly after daily maintainence.
