There are two types of recommended players.
One is weekly, a young player 19-21 y.o. with a quality relative to your team.
Some players are scoops
for example a player about 7*, ST-AM_ with a useful special ability, for 79 tokens.
The position is random.

The other recommended is when compare a player of your team vs the opponent (or it is about age).
Those players, 90% of the cases, are bs.
Potatoes or for crazy tokens.
