it's true that it depends on the server. if you're playing in my server and you're confident to sign 5 star youngsters with 1-3 tokens every time, then you must be joking. or crazy. what really changes my opinion is that almost all posters never really sign youth players. most of them only complaining about why they should pay tokens for their youth players. i'd rather do experiment to find out and go with some people here in this forum who said that they ACTUALLY BUY this tokens youngster and satisfied with their performance in match and training.

and i've already compared the value of the youngsters with the same age and quality in my auction market with the generated youngster in my squad and the value is very close to the expensive ones. you can compare also the tokens cost with the value and make ratio and you can find out that the ratio is close to the investment ratio.

besides, i have heard at least three people here in this forum who ACTUALLY BUY the player and they all satisfy with the performance. that's 100% statistics. i've made investment a couple of times to get money. so instead of making investment to get money, i'd rather sign the youngster from my academy and take chances to make real investment in him. if his position is exactly what i'm looking for, then this is not a waste chance at all for me.

but of course if you live in a happily ever after market where you can sign good quality player with just 1-3 tokens, just forget it..
