No you don‘t understand it right. You don‘t need a lot of tokens every season. That is the big advantage of it. I play with the same 11 top players for 10 seasons. And also the 3 low players you have to keep for as long as possible. I buy them once and keep them until they retire. I just buy and sell 1-2 average players during the season (for substitution). That takes me max. 5 tokens a season.
