Do you like to keep a 'token bank' just incase? I had a good young player like your Jonny Lamb at the start of the game, Fenton Morrow a 5* DL, he lasted 4 seasons I think, longest of any of my starter players. Fenton Morrow will still be playing in the game somewhere on my server because he was 18 when I had him so now he would be 33. no idea what quality he would be or what level he would be playing at now. Possibly L9?
