As the stats grow much more slowly when a player reaches 22 years old, I would keep all my players 21 or under if the market is flooded with Nordgens.

Now, of course, I have not seen any five-star Nordgens since they made some changes in April this year. As a result, there are quite a few old players (22-26) on my squad now. The only way I can replace them now is to take over players that higher level teams sell on the market, which means they are over 22 years old, which sucks.
I agree, it does suck. I haven't had much luck with auctions and negotiations, either. I don't mind spending money to buy 2 or 3 quality players off the Transfers list, however having to do that the beginning of each season now is quite annoying.

I've had success with improving my current players between 22-26 by power training suprisingly. I honestly didn't expect this to work. Of course this is also expensive and time-consuming.
