Star player losing form

[Tactician]

A new player, with more contributive power, can change the Contributive Roles list that the game assign, and a new player, can eclipse another you have.
This happened to me many times, or the same when I kept old players as reserves, that had by default a very contributive role, as they were key players that even with 3* where able to score... and, having these roles already covered -roles of contribution inside the team, which are limited to create realism- I couldnt buy a new ST and see him as key player or even high contributive. I needed to liberate space, -so free contribution spots/roles- till the game assigned, to a new ST the power I wanted for him.

All is calibrated by the engine, so, this happens.

Say you have a team of 11 first team players, and 8 reserves. You go buy a new player because you think, as a manager, you lack cover say in the MC area. In your main formation, you use 2 MCs, and with the new MC, you have a total of 4. Suppose this new MC has been given more contributive power, how is that suppose to affect your team? This is **** game mechanics (but something which I will not deny that does not exists because it is plausible).

Now, you as manager you found out that the new MC has more contributive power, but you bought him for cover, which means he could be a poorer quality player, a slow trainer or he could be even on the good side - fast trainer and with good quality. What do you do? Do you drop your 7-star MC for the 5 star slow training MC? Ok, suppose you brought the new player in the first team, but the player that got affected due to this plausible **** game system is the 7-star AMR in your team, now what you do? Do you go train that slow training MC to AMC then AMR? See my point... this thing promotes negative playing if it exists in this game.

Maybe Nik can comment on this because he is more experienced in buying and selling players, and he even been selling high quality ones if needed.
