    18 (or at most 19 y.o) fast trainers having the base position(s) that I want, which then I will customise to my liking where required
    19 y.o weekly recommended player with the right base position(s) and special ability, which again I will still customise to my liking if required
    fast training academy players with the right base position(s), which of course will require customisation

    Short Term Player
    players from the scout list but again with the right position(s) and special ability, and also with a decent quality (not those 100% ones that cost 34-49 T)

    Sometimes I settled for the B or C option (against my will of course), but there is a limit or minimum. I cannot buy all B or C options nor cannot I buy players without the starting base position.

    I had so much trouble in the past seasons to find the desired players. For the case of auctions, I spent so many hours watching the lists come and go for many days, and the thing is it just get worst going higher through the levels because not only that the desired players rarely show up but there is also the problem of identifying them before buying. For the scout list, I used the refresh option (cost tokens) many times but still could not get what I wanted. Sometimes I myself I wonder how is this possible. The game became a real pain in the ass.
    Well, you must admit that you are looking for the impossible. EVERY ONE wants to buy 18 yo FT. The game would be very boring if we could all get them when we want them. There is only one Messi. The fact that they are rare makes the game more interesting IMO. It's been 10 seasons or so I do not buy scouts any more. Not even mentioning paying to refresh the list. You are wasting your resources. A player in the low 5-stars or high 4-stars is good enough if you train him hard. And it saves time when you get bored watching the list !

    They are not good enough for me because of the way I play and also the opponents I face. My situation might not be the same as yours, but you are an experienced enough user to know that.

    About that Messi thing, you are off the mark. I better not say more.

    What do you mean by training hard? Buying slow donkey players or whatever available and train them to the desired positions, special ability and quality using thousands of green packs? I did not have so much in stock, let alone available or willingness to spend so much on one player. This is not the way to play this game anyway. Only an idiot with huge resources in stock will do that. I did not stay in the game all these years doing the work bot for Nordeus or exploiting offers and so on like some did.

    No intention of being rude whatsoever but that's exactly what I think of people paying tokens to refresh the scouts' list...

    This game keeps putting the user into situations where he will feel the need to and even in some cases be forced to do certain things. I myself I refreshed the scout lists a few times. In one case where I was desperate for certain players, there were 3 refreshes done in a row (1 by countdown expiry and two forced using tokens, 24x2 T) but still I did not get all the desired players I was looking for. If I am not mistaken, for that particular case, I was looking for a DC with aerial defender special abilty and an MC with playmaker specil ability. So two players to get from 3 different lists but could only get 1. Others were with unwanted special abilities like penalty, free-kick and so on. Keep into consideration that the scout list itself is like a B option for me. No way I was going to refresh further. There is a limit. Like I said, Nordeus is the kind of company to repetitively offer people oranges to buy even though those people are looking for grapes.

    It is not just like that I became so annoyed and so on. It is something that has been building on since months with having to go through the same repetitive thing again and again. I could not even keep the same full squad of players for many seasons to avoid going through this s**t because the game would only put my team into tougher competitions like happened one season after I spent a lot of money building a team that was supposed to be long term investement. At some point, I simply had enough and best for me was to quit the game.
