Best way to acquire players

[TheWhiteKirby]

From my experience, I have never bought a dud from the Scouting tab. Every player I have acquired from scouting has been a very good player for my squad and a player that improves and continues to improve and be able to be useful for the team for 3-4 seasons after purchasing. With auction players it's hit or miss. Yes, there may be a 6 star player in auction but look at his stats. Are they good? Could they be better? Usually I find myself not going for a player as their skills aren't as impressive even if they are rated highly. It's always been hit or miss from the auctions for me. I did find a few gems though, one actually got the golden boot after being on my team for 2 years and he still is improving so he is 4 star player after buying him 3 seasons ago. For me, I always would get a scouted player over waiting for a good player to pop up in auction. But watch the auctions tab closely and intently as a very very good player pops up sometimes that you don't want to miss out on.

My direct advice: you are still in the lower leagues I would stay in the Auctions tab and save my tokens for when Scouting one or two players becomes almost a necessity to compete (leagues 10+)
