Player delaying retirement

[ZeekLTK]

Didn't happen when my striker won the Top Scorer challenge a couple of seasons ago.
He took all the bonus skill points and retired.
Not very realistic.
Was even more frustrating because he scored a four goals in the final match to overtake my top scorer by one goal.

That would be awful, but like the other guy said - why not just sub him off to prevent it?

My team is trolling me for the challenge this season. Opponent has a guy with 19 goals (and his team has only scored 68 total). My team has scored 96 goals total, but I have three different guys that all have 16 and a fourth guy that has 13. Come on, one of you step up, stop sharing the goals! lol
