    Anyone know if there is a guide on bringing quality down for new season? I have about 3 7 stars and 4 6 stars i want to keep.
    That'll leave 6 star GK, 5 star DL 6 star CB 6 star DMC can go but I want to keep a balance to compete in cup and CL but lower quality down at the same time.

    Never let go of academy players...
    AH AH — manager of Atlético Kolkata. Named in honour of my hometown club, Atlético de Kolkata, which won the inaugural edition of Indian Super League in 2014.

    A good defence is the best offense.

    I'll keep that in mind thank you. I used to play with depth but I think I'll cut down on quality.

    This is where multi-position players come handy — I tend to have a "base formation" (currently 4-5-1V) and build my squad around it. You only need 17-18 players — a goalkeeper, 6 defenders, 1 DMC, 3 MCs, 4 wingers and 2/3 strikers (for 4-5-1v). The wingers can be AML/ML, AMR/MR, AML/AMC, AMR/AMC. The defenders can be 2 DL/DC, 2 DC/DR, 2 DC/DMC. You can keep 3-4 reserves to reduce quality. These can be academy players. You can train them a SA or roles, this helps when you sell them later or even in negos. Best of luck for next season

    And as you play hexagon more, keep a keeper, 6 defenders, 3/4 MCs, 4 wingers, 3 STs - 18 men should be enough. If you want a full 22 man rotation then go for it — each style has its own pros and cons. I don't want anyone to strictly do what someone says as each manager's play style is different — if you're Mou then you can form a squad with 11 men but if you're Wenger then even 33 guys won't be enough, half of them with season tickets to the medical center

    I've been advised to keep my 3 7* and 5 6* and have 6 3* to lower the quality for Cups.
