Do people still hang on to old players(over 31) and how do they perform in matches. I'm still holding on to Mesut Özil (AMR,ST),who's 31 this season and still going strong(7 stars). He's been one of my best players for over 11 seasons now since I paid crazy money for him as an 18 yr old fast trainer. 554 appearances and 344 goals later,he's my golden oldie. LEGEND.
Bought as an 18 year old Nord Gen on day 1 of a season, Will retire at the end of this season of 34 years old, Being a player that has lasted the maximum amount of time possible. I call this an "Everlasting Player"Quote:

How do you get an 18 year old on day one of a season?? Even my generated Youth Academy youngsters are 19 if they appear on day 1. :(
This is the very same player at PURCHASE...Quote:

I think they are. There's one (a GK) on my servers transfer market right now. I think he's a fast trainer too. He's Q104 and going for almost 110 million.Quote:

Other folk are saying it's not the same for Nord generated though. Yasin's saying he has an 18 year old on his transfer market just now, whereas, from experience, I won't get any 18 year olds until tomorrowQuote:

Yeah, it was just a thought based on what Ive seen today regarding academy players. There were plenty of 18yo on my market too. Maybe its a different routine or sequence for different things/servers (buildings complete earlier and other things....who knows.:confused: I don't wanna think much about it or I'll bleed from the ears again. ;)Quote:

I do think that you should keep guys if they have performed well, no matter age.. or stars.
My golden oldie came with my Team though: Attachment 23993 :D
Did u take over the team? I've seen people doing that.Quote:

This was my HALL OF FAME Topic on this sort of thing made this time last season...

I just bought a 4* 18 year old Nord generated Center Mid on the market last night. He's got an 83 rating, and a good training rate of 21.8, with no special ability.
I paid too much, but it wasn't 2-3 times the player's market value like I've seen some do lately.
What do you mean by training rate? Is that hard or normal? For which training exercise?Quote:

My fav golden oldie just played his 600th game for AC Arsenal. He'll be 32 next season. Still going strong though.
By the way,that's Özil's 14th season as a starter for AC Arsenal.
My golden oldie MESUT ÖZIL is 33 today and is still going strong. 6 stars now. After 381 goals in 652 appearances for Ac Arsenal,he's got another 2 seasons left in him. This is his 16th season with AC Arsenal.
Yay! You get him the whole possible time. "Everlasting player" :D
I have had retirees at 32! :(
I'm praying he doesn't retire next season.Quote:
