A more realistic scenario.
You won't have a squad full of wonderkids after 3 seasons and billion in the bank after 5.
The first rule of the game is not trust the stars(especially potential ability). The DoF actually made great signing. Yeah, sometimes they weren't a step forward to actually improve the team but they were underestimated or got on a free and could be sold for a profit. Sometimes tho, it'd buy great players, just not that young so you normally would pretend they weren't there.
It's another game and mixed with an attribute-less gameplay it makes the game playable again
