Don't sell 20 players, thats nuts!!! I'm like you too, always upgrading but I stopped now. Partly because I can't really upgrade anymore plus to my surprise, my worse quality player after 10 games has 9 goals and 11 assists. Now I'm spending everything on him to keep him. From now on buy quality only! Don't buy 4 low star players. It may look nicer but they not going to effect your team much. If you are level 2, get the most expensive young player you can get with SA with skill 29. You can easily use them for 3,4 seasons. Another tip is you don't need high overall quality for all out attackers and all out defenders. Look for a player that another manager has been using alot and training the player him/herself. These players will most likely have mid 30 attacks and physical average, they will perform just as good as scouts. Spend the most money in midfield since they need all around abilities. I remembered back in level i got this dirt cheap 4 star goalie no SA but his defend average was 40 the rest was low. I finish season with 4 GA. Cheers.
