It's hard to know when to send them on, but it's making for an interesting balance.

Even these older guys can get back to 80 easily, and if that's still getting it done... I can concentrate my resources on replacing the players who are playing for 6-7 ratings. So I have a few old reliables, a few mid career players who might be over their prime, and the promising u-21 guys can get lots of packs and reach 120 each season.

I also try to take advantage of the -20% to skills (and higher Training Efficiency Factor) at each new level. I mean, I try to "rebalance" individual player's skills. For resample if my DC needs better heading but has high tackling, the new season allows that to be trained more efficiently. It's been important with the old guys as training becomes much less effective. (If you believe skills matter.)
I'm left to wonder.. Is this your first managerial career, or have you played at some point in the past?

You must have won losts of trophies, the league title every season.. I'd guess. Question must be how many trebles you've won. D'u mind telling?
