For now, at least, especially as I plan to tank and rebuild my team.
It is the selling part under the new system that concerns me more. The fun part of 'grooming' your player for a sale has been taken away. Having to put him up for sale every 4 minutes if the machine doesn't snap him up at once is a bitch and totally unnecessary. All the tactics of selling at the right time are now unrequired. Then the fact that we are being ripped off - the players are bought well below the market value which now makes no sense whatsoever. Finally, the thought that your legends are now cannon fodder - well, that's downright heartbreaking. I know that I am a working adult and a father of the family but these digital players do make me sentimental after I have spent months with them.
I agree, I lost about 150 coins trading players between the old and new version.
Only thing we as managers can do is STOP BIDDING (and bleeding coins)...
