real maine blues gave some good tips, ill just answered the inanswered questions ;P

my time (probably the best token saver time) to buy players would be some time around the 2nd weekish. you can easily walk away with 1 token wins, and build your team for the next season

dont believe in ratings, the form is a lie. if you dont believe heres a little story
my CAM got a hattrick assist and got a 6, my CF got a hattrick goal and got a 7. MOM (MAN OF the MATCH) went to my LB for failing to score on a counter. my RB, who i didnt read during that match, got an 8

all in all, just go with the flow
