Have 18yos become rare?

I imagine it's tough to find FTs by value at such high level? Much easier to differentiate at my level.

It is nearly impossible, I buy and test them. But only want 3 star players or max 65%, none of them to be seen.

That's tough. How many Tokens are you required to pay on average for those kind of players and what's the approximate hit/miss ratio if I may ask?

It is different for every player. Normally I refuse to pay more than 5T for a player. Most I get for 2-3 Token, but a lot of dead players.
I may find 1 or 2 good ones per season. If I find the good one for the position I need a new player I stop searching. This season for example looking for DR and MC on my main account to train next season. These are the players I bought:

DR 66% for 1T - bad
MC 61% for 1T - bad
MC 54% for 5T - OK but not great, I still have him as he is my best so far
DR 70% for 3T - Also ok but not great, want to find better, also he is generally too high for me
MC 50% for 2T - bad

So 5 players bought and still not happy, I hope to find better talent for the rest of this season.

Sounds like I need to save some Tokens for future levels then. Is the competition for these players tough (+5T) or is the crucial part actually finding the players on the market? Sorry for all the questions.

It's no big deal in terms of Token, I get 100 Token from association every season, so with the other free token the income is around 150 Token per season or more. And if I find a good player, I keep him for at least 7 or 8 seasons until I need to search for a new.
The hardest part is to see these players in the auctions. It's so time-consuming to look all day. Competition usually not very high, sometimes competition is good. When there are many people bidding on a 40% player I look at them if they are low level and have good players and platinum association. Then they know how to find good pieces with high market value and I will likely bid for a good player also. Then I might spend more than 5T also.

The last part sounds like a good strategy and confirms what I had in mind doing when I eventually climb up the food chain. Appreciate you taking your time answering my questions. People like you add great value to this forum.
