Keep some of your youngsters from acadamy you get for free. A cheat? I wouldn't call it a cheat. Set your team up for Cup and you make it harder to win Leagues/CL trophies. It's just a matter of priorities, and Cup victories are way cheaper then CL/League trophies at my lvl still. No need for T spending or farming, just a low(er) Q team. It's worth it just for that to keep 4 1 star players.
