Interesting answers. Summary so far. I am used to 6 star teams. I always bought the young fast trainers for a few tokens by carefully watching the market and hoping to snipe the deal at the last second.

If I want to maintain the same standard I have to fight for the young players for a lot of tokens. There is no more sniping. So far I have been about 10-15 transfer battles and all ended way above 30 tokens (with one maximum of 70 tokens). I ended up getting only one player for my second team by buying a recommended player. For my first team I bought 2 defenders from around 30-35 tokens (19 and 20 yr old with living wall, not bad and both around 98%).

If you have little tokens it is better to aim for the low 5 stars or high 4 stars, maybe with a SA. I have seen some higher 5 stars go for a few tokens but mostly for players with only DL, DMR or ML for instance. So it is possible to get a good team for a few tokens, but I have to adjust my playing style with the new market.
