What is wrong

[Hejst]

Very interesting things in this thread. I have one question though. Let's assume I have a very strong key player as my left winger (which I do) and at the moment he is 30 yo. I also have two other strong key players, both a bit shadowed by this aml. Still they all score more than 1 goal per game.

That aml will play easily a couple more seasons, maybe until he retires. I haven't trained him in a long long time, but due to a constant scoring titles and motm nominations he is still over 130%. Anyway, there will be a time I have to replace him.

The question is, is it better to sell the old player first, so the role he is carrying is released and the new player can acquire it? Because if I understood this correctly, if I get the replacement first and then sell the old star, this new guy can never get that star role?

Edit: For example, I have good team at the moment, but I have planned three changes for the next season. I was thinking of changing both fullbacks and one MC. DL is coming from the academy (I'm still very unsure about academy players), but both DR and MC I have already bought from the market. So now what I mean is will there be some potential wasted as I buy these replacements so early on? They will get to starting XI next season and the old players will be sold this season. Should I buy those replacements only after I have sold the players they are replacing?

Ok, I have another question. Is there some kind of limit for good ratings? My three frontmen are constantly getting those 9s and 10s, but is it realistic to think, that I could have all of my team having at least 8s? Or can I assume that because my attackers are taking all the good ratings, it's ok that my mc's get mostly 7s?
