When to sell.........??

I, too, am in a similar situation with an Academy player of mine that I got last season.

He is also 19 years old, a CM and is currently 4* (level 10). He's consistently rated as a 5 in matches, although he did rate a 7 in his last League match. He's also rated better in some friendlies I've used him in. Of the three CM's I have, he's got the greatest cumulative score, but I can't really use him - at least in important matches - when he's being so mediocre. I could get an easy $24MM for him by selling, but am also trying to decide if he's a keeper or transfer bait.

What do our more experienced managers suggest? Keep playing them in the hopes of improvement with age/experience, or sell now and get what we can for them?

Dont sell him just use him in friendly matches so he can pass this bad form. I had already few young with 5 stars players(one of them from my academy) that used to perform bad but i was persistent and now they are finally good again. I used to buy younger players in bad form( ok not too bad like all 4, but that had 5 and 6 in last few games) and turn them into good again becuse I dont need to use lot tokens on them becuse not many players bid for them due to bad form. I won 2 World cups and was second in league in last 3 season with players that had bad match rating in they previous clubs.
