    Change your entire squad in first few days of each new season for 5 star players. Relying on 4 star players who did well the previous season just does not work and you will lose.

    Because everyone can afford to do that! I completely disagree - most people are in the same situation with 4 and some 3 star players - I'd say overhaul the ones who have no hope of progressing to 4 star, and any who aren't performing. Keep the rest and look out in case you see any exceptional players who you would want to keep for several seasons. Also any lower quality players who might need replacing soon - keep an eye out for replacements so that you aren't forced to buy players you don't really want in order to fill the gap.

    I only change 6 at most, this season only 2. Because I know my 4 star players can deliver. We may not win the league but we'll definitely be top 4 at least. As the season go along, maybe bring in 1-2 once you find weaknesses.

    Changing the whole squad with 5* every season sounds a bit ridiculous as you don't even know how the new guy would perform. Not all 5* are super. At least with current players you can more or less guess how they will do.

    Agreed that changing whole squad for the sake of does not make sense even if I had the tokens and funds to do so. What I was saying was what I tend to do - in practice I think 6 is the maximum I have changed in a season. I train my players normally, and often end up with a high level 4 or low-level 5 star team by the end of the season, but that is irrelevant - the point is ending up with a decent team that you can build on or maintain in the next season.
