Been discussed a squillion times and loads of thrads about it already, but for me I usually start to get rid at 31. Think this might be a bit overhyped though as I also had Mexes as a star CB until he was 35, his pace etc had declined but he was still excellent.

same as nomis i get rid at 31 only keep keeper till about 33-34 depends on how stats decline

31/32.

When does a player decline? 31-34, generally. When do I get rid? 28+ usually, depending on how the contract falls. Around that age, players generally want 4/5 year contracts. While a 30 year old star might be worth £100k/week, it's highly unlikely to be economic in his 35th year.

anyone keep people on so they can sign them as coaches? or move them to reserves later on/train youngsters? i have owen at arsenal and hes now 30 but i would like to keep him.

The key is the economics of it all. They may still be a star at 35 but you'll get nothing for them, whereas if you sell them at 30 you get 10 million or more to go and get an equally good replacement.

I keep them until there not good enough

there was a great thread that showed that players decline too quickly.

one of the replys showed the CA's of players over 30 years old at the start of the game and again a few years later.

if someone can link to it that would be great.

Yeash I did this with Man United. I put Scholes, Giggs, Neville & Van der Sar all in the reserves with the intention of keeping them for emergencies, european experience and tutoring the youngsters. I think Van der Sar will be retiring soon because he's now 39 in my game.
