The new feature - recommended player

[Tarkus]

Yes, thank you, that's the mistake I made early on, choosing special abilities for every player in the roster or making them train for a new role. Then I started reading the forum and... decided to pause most of them. I know I've wasted some skill points (but not so many, really), at least I got in time to fix my mistakes and pause those trainings. Too bad I won't be able to train my players to new roles that I need.

By the way, being a slow trainer does not mean that your player will be inferior in terms of performance on the pitch. He might still produce good performances for 1-2 seasons. My first good performing ST was a slow trainer. He returned a decent amount of good performances, including a lot of goals for the market value and tokens he costed, but definitely needed to be sold after 2 seasons. So, you can keep your ST/AML for another season.

The advantage of slow trainers is that they cost relatively less in terms of virtual money (market value) as compared to fast trainers which can easily put your finances in red if you bid for few in the same session and win all of them. Given the fact that you are new, it might be best for you to get a mixture of 'nordgens', mainly slow trainers but having high quality (95-99%, if bought in week 1 will, by week 3, be displayed as 6 stars), and a few 5 star fast trainers in which you can 'invest' your extra green packs and personalise them as you want as long as the personalisation fits to the qualities they have (attributes and positions). You can also get a few 'nordgens', fast and slow trainers, with the right special ability already assigned.

If you need players capable of playing other roles - those that your current players do not have, buy slow-training (95-99%) 'nordgens' that have those roles at the start of next season. They will be very useful to you, but will cost significantly less. You just have to sell them after 1-2 seasons, and buy again.

Thanks for your help mate, I appreciate it. Problem is, I've bought 4 fast trainers and now only have 1 million left, so I'm gonna save it to avoid bankruptcy. They were worth it tho, as they're performing very well and will be useful in future seasons. All I can do now is be more sensible and train new roles according to what I need with new players.

Today, after 8 days, I got 3 new recommended players, 3 STs, again; I bought the youngest one, 19 years old, who's also AMR, a position I need. I could post his stats if you're interested when I go home tonight. I made him play today even tho I subbed him out at halftime alongside Esteves.

Buying a player that cost a lot of tokens and/or virtual money, especially from the scout's list and recommendations' list at such a time in the season is not good as he will lose one star next season (which is only in about 2 days here), unless your team failed to promote to the next level. You must buy such players early in the season, or at most at the end of week 2, but there can be some exceptions if the right player appears in week 3. Suppose that you want to sell him at the start of next season, it will be a loss as players have a drop in market value at the start of each season.

You can still sell some of those fast trainers before the end of this season in order to provide money for transfers at the start of next season.

How many times per season does this feature pop up for you? Last time to me it happened exactly one week ago and I bought one hell of a striker worth every token. So I guess it happens less than once per week?

As Tactician said, it's exactly once a week.

I hate to say but have to admit most of my best players are come from the recommended list. Always waiting for one after another

[Tactician]

79T for a 21 year old, close to 7 stars GK... How much beneficial is that going to be? How many additional important saves will he provide? I don't think buying such a player will make a great difference. There is also a big risk considering how inconsistent or poor GKs appear to be in this game.

What you can do is to buy him and put him on freekicks and penalties

Just check this season's thread and see what happened today. There are things that are likely not to be coincidences in this game.
