I disagree. Every season, the starting eleven must be 5 star, at least 3 or 4 rating within the 5 values of that range. For example, from range of 80-84 for 5 star, the player must be 82 or 83. That is my squad this season, except for 1 or 2 players that are 81, and I already have a couple now 84 quality. I only buy players on the first day of the season, sometimes I will buy in the few days after that if my squad is lacking, for example, I only have one DR.
Bro, while I agree with your style, buying a 5 Star 18 yr old will definitely indulge in a lot of bidding from others. I am sure they don't come cheap.
