I don't understand purpose farming. If someone has money to buy tokens, then he can use tokens for loan money and spend both on scouts or nordgen power training. However, someone who farms tokens, he can't play CL next season so that means he has less money (CL provides good financial bonus). Besides that, strong squads in cup means strong(er) opponents. I don't think that better squad increases winning chances in Cup that much like in CL. When you put good and bad sides of farming on paper, does it pays off?
I'm struggling to keep my team competitive every season with 35T. My current team has avg. quallity 9 (5 stars) so it's near scout. Nordgens give me time to get tokens and have good results at the same time. I spend only few tokens/auction and I always try to get players which would be long-term option (at least 3 seasons)
