I bought 3 players 18 ages by tokens 45+ each and 1 18ages from action with average price, after 3 seasons he is always the topest score and best rate players than tokens players and he is AML and tokens players 1 ST, 1 AMR and 1 AMC with shadow Strkr

So I believe its all depend on performance of players and Auction could be better option to buy players and cheaper than tokens with better results for me
