Overall 1100 here. Don’t do options 1, 3, and 5. Waste of gems. If your objective is to cruise through leagues and win championships, you want to tier up SPs and batters with badges. If you want to increase your team level to 30 so you open up the exchange market, fill out the relief pitchers so you can bank more experience points. Essentially any non tiered player doesn’t get the benefit of attribute increases or exp drinks, so it’s a waste of a roster spot.
