I just got the offers and got a late 4th star for 12 tokens. Totally not interested in that as for 12 tokens I better can wait for a late 5 star youth and buy him for maybe 5 tokens. There is still no incentive for me to get the acadamy players. The only way acadamy players would become interesting for me is if it is a sort of a gamble. For 12 tokens you could get a four star player with a SA, a fast trainer low 5's or just a late 5 star youth for instance. Then it would become a little interesting.
So far in 60 seasons or so I have not bought 1 acadamy player and not going to do so in the future based on the current settings.
