I'm only in Season 3 of my team, but glad I've read this guide. I'll be making adjustments this season - though I've been lucky and able to purchase my first Scout, I'll probably only be able to do that once a season at most. If I had to add anything to this, I would say - keep your expectations in line with how far up in levels you are and how much time/effort/tokens you're spending. I plan on trying to farm 40-50 tokens a season, for my Scout, and use the other tokens as needed (impulse buys like AS Roma gear, save over a period of a season or 2 to go on a Scout buying spree, etc).

I think you need to replace 3-4 players a year, if you work it out right, and as such you would easily need 150-200 tokens a year. That's a bit more farming than I intend, but I'll give it a shot this season and see how it works out.
