as others said keep playing him. if he stops scoring and his ratings get poor then its time to move him on. I have a striker I picked up last season cheap for 1 token. he was 26 and 5 stars with fk special ability.. He scored 34 league goals. this season he is 27 and 4 star. because of his record last season I kept faith with him. he has scored 12 in 6 league games this season. in a league packed with 6 star scout strikers he is outscoring the lot.
