wrongI don't think cheaper
I bought this nordgen before 4 seasons.
After those two guys spent some tokens in the initial round, I got him with a last sec snip, with 4 tokens.
One more token to rename him and a first investment of 30 greens to make him 6* and 141 q.
At the end of the season, with the normal daily training for the bonus, the gaining from the games and some MoM sp, he was near the 7*.
The same for every season till his 22-23.
If he was the "new" academy player, I should use (besides 8 T), about extra 100 greens to make him like the nordgen I bought (from 135 q to 139 q + the sa).
The only pros is the money.
