Or just straight up buying a 6* player for 20~ tokens.



I guess fast trainers could be better as they would easily improve back to their star rank each promotion, but, yesterday I bought like 4 or 5, eighteen year olds and none of them were fast trainers, meaning I just wasted 25 tokens and some cash.

I'm using the 122122 method (this: Finding a Fast Trainer – Top Eleven Tips) for figuring out if they're fast trainers or not.
I have had a lot of success by not using fast trainers. Honestly, I have always gone with the 6* for 20 tokens because even with a fast trainer you will end up using a lot of resources to train him up 3 stars. Once I had gotten far enough into the game to have my youth academy full utilized, I train a player with the position(s) i want in the academy and keep them in my squad till they are 26-28 years old and sometimes even until retirement. Until then, I would focus on constructing a robust team rather than building percentage. If you become stronger, next season you have stronger opponents.
