I could've got the equivalent amount of tokens by doing offers/watching videos etc so buying tokens is only (imho) a shortcut (you bypass the work of earning tokens and waste rl money)

Totally agree with Ream,as he/she mentioned MMORPG's are different you can have a significant adavantage over "non-cash shop nibs"

If everything went perfectly for you every season just because you bought tokens you would moan that it was boring and it would be unfair to those that don't buy tokens. Real life footie isn't always a smooth run teams get relegated and promoted, great teams lose, rubbish teams win, players get injured for long periods of time, awesome managers ruin awesome teams, sh!t managers improve sh!t teams....some of it down to luck; good or bad
