Sometimes, a player does not deliver and you have to manage your team accordingly.

Sometimes, guys perform better than their quality level or value will suggest. I keep a three-star striker because the guy scores and does well on a regular basis.

Your mileage may vary.

Also... can you share screenshots of his skills and statistics?

In summary youth player is only playing average. I plan to keep power training him and build up his defensive and physical stats. I think this may be the problem as he is an "unbalanced". I think I might get away with poor defensive stats but not poor physical and mental stats.

The Low priced keeper is performing better then the high priced keeper consistently!
