ive got an aml/amc/amr who is atm 28 4* ... his contract is up this season and looks like i'm being promoted . Hes played well since i bought him and is a great goal scorer . But should i keep him next season or sell ? As he would be 3 stars .

3* and like he is, means that will train faster than now cos will loose a star and will recovery the 30Q =4* soon... so if is good scorer why not to keep him.... maybe give you a surpprise :)
Yeah i noticed last season that one or 2 of my older players often had massive skill progress in proper matches . Rubbish everywhere else mind lol
Keep all players that perform well on the pitch, stars do NOT matter in the slightest.
Especially a guy like this who can cover 3 positions. If nothing else, he'll add depth as a sub and allow you to do more formations.
So keep him 1 more season and then sell ? Dont want to miss out of getting soem money back ... although that's not my main concernQuote:

I've kept players until they were 2 stars before. (Note: my team average is always over 5, so I'm not low budget) One guy was a DC/DR with Wall ability, at 4 stars he got mostly 8s and some 9s starting most matches, at 3 stars as a spot starter and sub got 7s and 8s, as a 2 star as a pure sub he still averaged more than 7 on his form.
Can you come up with any reason to ever replace this guy?
I've had plenty of 18-19yr old 5-6 star players bust, and my team now has several 4 star starters which i've had for 4+ seasons, and they are still doing awesome. 2 of them I reinsterted into the starting lineup after the replacements underperformed, and what do you know.... they are playing like beasts.

I seriously have no idea why this guy is playing like that this season, but he forced his way into my lineup, and even changed my base formation to get him more playing time about a week ago and he has not disappointed.
Now I have a 10 point lead in League and are still in CL.
So until that guy can no longer fill a need on your team, whether that be a sub or starter, I would keep.
Don't sell great form players until he down to 2 stars :D
Yeah, whilst he is scoring close to every 2nd game & averaging ~ 7 form, I would resign, especially as he has 3 positions.
Then assess whether you sell at end of next season, although may be best to keep him for 2 seasons as you have already paid the bonus if he has a good next season. Also they lose ~ 20% MV season on season.
In fact, re-signing this player is almost identical to acquire an useful 3* free agent player in next season. If this player is still important in your squad rotation, I suggest you keeping him until a replacement player is found.
When I was at your level, I found that the transfer market has been becoming more and more difficult. If your transfer market is similar and you are unlucky, you may need several days to find a suitable replacement player. At that time, you may miss him and his versatility.
If you do not plan to have add more player to your 19 player roster, I believe you have sufficient cash that you don't need to sell players before buying new ones.
Do you think I should sell this player? He is 2* only...

P.S. OMG!!! I just noticed he is 177 cm tall :eek:
I will sell him. In my server, it was not difficult to find a replacement at low levels. My decision is more firm if many other players are also well performing.Quote:

I don't think I'm gonna sell him lol... well, at least not during this season, not after 7t ratings 8 in last 8 games...Quote:

BTW, I made a bad decision to sell my all time best scorer of my level 20 team in this season. He was 1 sp to 5*. His training efficiency is quite good even though he's 24. He also well performed early in the season until performance dropped to 7-7-7-7-7 near half season. I rejected a 3 token offer for him in early season, but finally accepted a slightly lower 3 token offer when I noticed that his performance dropped. The player replacing him is cheaper, 18 years old, and low 5*. But actually he is a very slow learner and do not score many goals. At about the same time, I also sold another 4* striker who do not score but is a corner specialist & have many assists. Since then, my striker line are all 5*. They have decent match ratings, but they are poor in scoring. For example, one of the new strikers have half 7 and half 8 ratings. But in 16 matches, he has only 1 MOM, 3 assists, and 0 goal. Now I have to bench him and try to use lower match rating players. Hopefully, my team can find a consistent way to score.
The situation in different levels are different. At level 20, my team should be more careful on financial situation, and on making decisions for long term benefit. My decision may not completely wrong. I may make too many changes on striker line in short period of time.
To avoid long run of sevens, bench him for a game... But yet, if MC has long run of sevens, don't bench him lol... Anyway, I don't care how many stars players have if they are consistent performers... Having a striker who gets good ratings, but not scoring ain't bad thing unless you are losing games... Some of them will get good ratings 'cause they are creating lot of chances to other players who don't score (you don't see all chances in commentaries)
myself if player is going to be a 4 star i sell but always a season ahead so i know if i plan on selling then leave this player 1 skill away from next star so he can go on neg list, this way i`l get token/tokens to use for his replacement
Thanks for your advices.Quote:

Probably they did not play many minutes per match before and so did not have good match ratings.
I know the commentaries do not show everything. However, striker had good ratings but only have 3 assists and nil goal in 18 matches is quite incredible. From my experience, some strikers do not score and will never score. But as this player had good ratings and can use both feet, I will give you more chances later.
The transfer market I faced was very difficult in early season. When I notice that there are less competitions in auctions near the half season point, I have too many transfer activities in a short period. Now it's time for finding the chemistry of players and find consistent performers.
A goal in 18 matches you say... This one can't hit Kim Kardashian's arse from close range... :rolleyes:

Try him at AML or AMR position, while attacking down flanks...Quote:

But I have not yet tested to play him as AML or AMR.
