19T is way too much of a gamble with such a significant 20%+ quality difference.

So I also managed to get the emblem, and very unexpectedly got a 25yo 8* ST/AML too by winning the following stage when I had the least expectation. This is by far the best reward I have got in all the 7 seasons:

If you sell your players at the end of the season for good draws, I would sell the event player. He is quite high %-wise for no good skills and next season he is 26, which means development will be very slow anyways.
It's how I always did it, I sold many of these players in the past when I did manipulation thing.
