I definitely wouldn't spend 79 tokens on a 114% player at this stage in the season.

My advice is to take it slowly and build up your team over the next 3 or 4 seasons, doing your best to buy good young players at sensible prices (below 20 tokens each). It's getting harder to do that all the time, but there is still a sweet spot about 4 or 5 days in to the new season where good young players seem to go for 10-20 tokens.

In addition, keep building up your green packs. I think greens are more important that tokens and having a big collection of greens allows you to spend less tokens on those lower % players and train them up.

Finally, get yourself back in an Association as that's really the only way of getting a decent income of tokens.
I already gave a thought about associations and checked potential associations group candidates. In the past, I played both as captain and a member only of an association which I was the founder myself. I just do not feel to go back to associations as I do not want to commit myself to a certain association right now; it will be more like going there mostly for the extra tokens.
