So as you may know, some of the players in the current game will be removed after the next major update and they will not be able to sign them starting on the 13th, and one of the Japanese YouTuber has shown a near trick using those players skill training fodder.

Basically you sign a cheap player that is going to get removed (the YouTuber mentions 52rated CMF McHugh and S. Tickle Gk from Wigan). You use him as the skill training fodder instead. That way if you get a useless skill, the update will compensate you with GP and any skill tokens you've used on that play.

You can also do legacy transfer on a fodder that already has a useless skill and get a skill tokens back that way too.

Just keep in mind that this is based on assumption of what we know so far so it's not 100% guarantee, but it should work out as as based on what we've seen in the announcements so far.

Also keep in mind that you will need to use any good skills you get or it will be converted to skill token after the update. I think I am just going to keep using regular fodder and legacy transfer to McHugh/Tickle if I get a crap skill.

If you can understand Japanese, the trick is mentioned in the video below.
