I have 3 token academy players in my team (all fast trainers costing 16~24 tokens and no money to sign, academy max level).

Year Quality Value Wage Posts
19y q122 107m 10.6m GK
20y q126 107m 10.8m MC
32y q122 105m 13.9m DC DR

None of them has SA.

At level 22, q125 is 5*
The 32y is still playing in my team since he was 18 and have been the captain in my team for a very long time.
After a slump of him last season, my new captain is the GK.
