youth academy doesn't suck

Yes, but that will set you back $7-10m in level 5. Even if you win all 3 competitions you will only get $25-30m, once you take out wages, contract extensions, construction etc you'll only have enough for 3 players. If you're getting money from bank investments (which I don't, I haven't bought any tokens or done any surveys or whatever), then from my experience this morning, signing the token player and selling him immediately gets you more money anyway.

and you regularly get 5 star 18 year olds in auctions for 1-3 tokens? You're taking the piss, right? On my server you'll be lucky if you have change from 10 tokens (I think 6 is the top level on my server, never seen a 7)

and how is money from the free player you sell useless? you didn't have to do anything...

I can get 18 year olds for 1-3 tokens as well, as you say your the second highest level on your server, you don't have any managers 3 levels above you to sell their useless 2* youth player to you as a 5* player in your level, Thats why you can't get any 18 years for 1-3T because they are not available to you.

At lower levels of the game I signed 5* older players to keep transfer costs down.

first of all he is right about how easy he can buy players. it' up to the server. in my server you never find 5 stars, and for the 4 stars you need minimum 20 tokens. i also play my wifes account in a different server and there it's exactly as dvr8 discribes. for 2-3 tokens you buy 18-19 y.o 5 stars. about the money issue, you are wondering where you can find the money for the new purchases. it's simple. you sell the players you don't need the right time. having such a crap server as my own it's easy to earn 3-4 times the players value through auction wars. you must sell the first 2 days of every season and especialy night hours. also if you are planing to sell a player then it's better not to add his skill points if he is close to change star but let him stay as he is. players with quality ending 4 or 9 bring a lot of cash

Cool, yeah I was planning to sell a few players early next season - guys I bought young 3-4 years ago but are nearing the end of their usefulness to me. So a 29 quality player will sell for more than a player who is 30 quality... is this because a 30 quality player wont appear to players from level 2? and so all the cashed and tokened up players from level 2 will go nuts on the 29 quality player, but wont have the chance to with the 30 quality player?

exactly. in addition if he has skill points stored it's like buying a scout.

Rad. Will keep that in mind. And knowing that makes me even more sure that my 12 tokens here are a good investment... according to this I could improve the youth player one skill point off 4 stars before the end of this season, then sell him for maybe $10m first day next season. Could I also fill all the empty spots in my squad with 3, almost 4 star players late in the season that I have no intention of ever using, then sell them off at an astronomical profit early in the new season?

Another thing I don't get though... some here say that their transfer market is all 3 star players. But I'm on the second highest level of my server and I still see 5 star players regularly, occasionally it is flooded with 5 star players some whom are one star off 6 stars. They come from clubs with crap names like Pearly AC or Jaunty FC that I guess aren't player controlled... how come these players aren't available for top players on other servers?

And does anyone have an answer to my tangential question on the previous page, about why there isn't more competition in lower tiers?

if there is a higher level than yours then it's normal to have plenty of 5 stars on transfer market. the problem is when there is no higher level

as far as I know the skill points dont go with players which are sold
so if you sell a player with skillpoints left the buyer will only get the player without the skillpoints

the truth is that have never bought a player having skill points but i have red in the forum that it happens. also when i sell a player with skill points always there is massacre.

[hullabaloo]

what does this mean? where can i see if a players quality ends wit ha 4 or 9 and why are these players better?
