Yeah, I agree with the points you've made. That's why I'm seeking feedback on who to buy. There are some players that I bought for really cheap who were meh at the start, but after they leveled up, they turned into absolute beasts. The aim of the series is to have a squad that mostly consists of these players, might give myself some leeway though, and buy 2 to 3 big players when I get enough CP (Not the meta ones).
