New to the game...what is the deal with the transfer market???

[nikolgiorgos]

no, don't agree with that case.
(I have some teams in LV1 and know how crazy it's the market there).

Ok @Vega78, few tips
There are two markets
One is for LV1 and some times LV2 managers.
Those are the noobs (like you - lol).
They have the first 80 tokens for free and don't mind to spend 20 of them for a crap player.
Also they don't know yet that when they promote to next lv, their players gonna loose one star.
(every time when you promote - unless you stay in the same lv - finishing 10-14 positions).

The young fast trainers cost a lot for LV1, about 3 M' so you don't have the money for them unless you exchange some buying tokens for money.
What you must do, is to buy whatever cheap early 5* with 1-2 positions and without special ability because they attract many bidders.
Build a descent low 5* team and try to promote to next lv in positions 1-4 so to play in CH.L. next season and get some extra good money.
If you see that you cannot make it, stay at position 10 and repeat the season.
Meanwhile, build the training ground so to have your first academy players (after 28 days).
Sign both, the tokens player (because you don't give money for him) and the 0 T too.
Also the recommended players are free of money so think about it.
Next season, with some extra money you can get 2-3 ft as Rizla said above and train them hard with the greens you can farm from daily vids.
LV3 - LV4, repeat that so you 'll have 8-9 young fast trainers with high quality.

Then the real game starts
