Your 6* players will be 5* players next season so are easily replaced with the new transfer system refreshing every 4 minutes. the young low 5* players are not too difficult to get.
There are different ways of playing the game, here's my last day of season team from a few seasons back (it looks roughly like this at the end of every season).
I've sold off most of my team and kept the players I want for the next season mixed in with all the free Academy players I keep.
With this team I will only be drawn against teams of my level in both the Cup and the CL, not higher, although they will be stronger.
On the first day of the season 5 or 6 buys will be enough to strengthen the team for the first game, a few more buys in the next few days to complete the squad then repeat the process at the end of the season
To be fair, this tactic requires a few Green packs farmed each day for training up players and the odd token video to help with the bidding. I haven't had any videos for 4 or 5 days now, so may well not bother with the game once I've used up all my packs/tokens as I'm not a cash spender on here. Kinda sad after 50 seasons or so.
