What were your biggest mistakes concerning your squad?

I can see a problem with my squad developing. I started at level 1 not being a token buyer, then started buying tokens at level 2. I didn't put that much in, but got a heap of free tokens to compliment my spend. I spent a few tokens on cash, bought players on the transfer market and a couple of scouts. In the process, I have accumulated a squad with a high star value and because they are quite a young squad and this game puts a higher $ value on younger players, I have a pretty high value squad now at level 3.

The problem is, I believe I have sacked/ not renewed too many experienced players in the 25-28 age bracket. The game engine doesn't seem to like this as I am not getting good results v. teams with a higher average age. I'm happy enough to wait it out for this season, coming 2-3 in the league and progressing in the Champs league. In the cup, I'm stuffed, as I'm up against teams in higher levels with like star points, but higher average age. The challenge will be whether I sell some of the potential stars before the end of the season, or sit on them and watch them drop considerable value for next season.

I've found that it works out pretty evenly either way. Sell at the end of the season there's less people shopping and people tend to be stricter with their money.

At the start of the season your values will have plummeted but the first 2-3 days are generally VERY buys in the market and I usually get prizes closer to their old value, and often better.
