Crispy Pig Summary:
Since S12 is held on the other side of the ocean, the decline in viewership may make major clubs not have a smooth life in 2022, so it may be wise to maintain a defensive strategy during the transfer period. For example, WE has saved up a year of ammunition this season, and its initiative will definitely be stronger than clubs that spend a lot of money; with the lessons of the V5 miracle, how can you not have expectations for teams with lower rankings? On the other hand, the youth training system of major clubs this year is inconsistent, so those players with average performance and low start may be more cost-effective.
