Nick's recommended 29T player was close to 6 stars while your 79T player should be close to 7 stars. 50 tokens difference for a star which seems almost the same as the cost of packs for the addition of a star by training. One user did got offered a 109T 7-star player recommended to him earlier. Another got offered a close to 7 star GK for 59T. Maybe there were modifications in the system or the developers were experimenting. It could also be region-related or related to the past purchase history of the particular user. All these are just possibilities.
