I have a player (DR, DC) whose contract will expire at the end of this year. He isn't a poor player, but he also does not start. I play with 4 defenders, and have 2 substitutues. He is the "odd man out" so-to-speak, and is essentially a reserve player for injuries. When I purchase another defender next season, he would be bumped even further down the list or, more likely, would be sold.
If his contract is set to expire at the end of this year, I assume it would be better to sell him now than to simply let his contract run out and not receive anything for him, correct?
Or would it be better to renew his contract and sell him early next season?
