The only bad aspect of it was, it was randomly given to a 3-star player that will never play. So yes, you claim your reward even if the scorer retired or is sold.
Good to know and thanks for your insight. Though obviously it is not ideal to have the reward allocated to your 3* player (which is as close to useless as it is).
