    Why are you reducing your squad size down to 14 players?

    And damn! Those are some hard requirements for a player to be kept! If I followed that, I'd be left with 3 players...

    Hi Fail G.
    A number of reasons for reduction:
    1. Players lose ~ 20% value in addition to the star season on season, so it can make good economic sense.
    2. Your best 14 anyway determine your Cup level & opponents.
    3. At higher levels $ becomes increasingly important.
    4. Also with 2 of my teams being ex 35T leagues, unfortunately there is less sentiment to hold on to players, as they are very competitive leagues.

    My style is to have a 5*/6* balanced squad rather than 1 or 2 superstars. IMO some legends of the game have done that (1 x 7*/8*) in 35T leagues and failed spectacularly.

    I generally get a minimum of 3 seasons out of players, up to 6 for young neg players. Although have not had a 300+ match player yet.
