Tired of only being offered goalkeepers and needing one this season I finally succumbed to a 79 token 19 year old. So far he's done ok, and to be honest if he's anything like the last recommendation a bought, a right back with corner kick SA, he should last me 4 to 6 seasons.
I think the expensive one is worth it, but only if you've got the tokens to spend. I probably won't buy another recommendation for 3 or 4 seasons, and then only if our association gets some better results.
