Yeah I was a bit like that and you think, It's mad to sell 5* players compared to most teams I look at and they have a mix of 4* or 5* players lol. At one point I can remember I had 17 players that were all at least 6* in the squad out of 20 players and the 3 other players were 5* close to 6*. I even once sold a 6* player which is unthinkable by most managers in this game.
5* players are basically reserves for me. since my main squad these days are 6*,7* with the odd special higher than 7* players I've had. No real point having loads of 6* players to sit on the bench, thats just a waste, even for the most heaviest token buyers around. So for token buyers 5* players on the bench are ideal. fair enough if those bench warmers were bought at 5* at the beginning of the season and develop to 6* during the season like our Petersen will do this season, thats different. Just be a waste to buy a 50T scout just to sit on the bench or PT a player that sit on the bench, thats just a waste and a good example of that at my team was Pepp Crawford.
