I posted this in a thread before, not sure where it is now.This season I bought 18 players with at most 34 tokens. All were 5 star, mostly 82 and 83, and a couple were 81. My 5 star range is 80-84 btw. Bought a GK and a DC/DMC at 19 years old.
I do not get myself into bidding wars. I bid 30 mins to 2 hours before deadline in the initial round. If 3 or more managers total make it to knockout round, I drop out straight away.
