Do you guys think that purchasing a player at the age of 28 for a big sum of money is a waste?

For one thing the time span of the player being useful could be short.
How many more years could the player be serviceable before showing a decline in skills?

28 isnt too old you should be fine, but you may want to sell after say 2 season just to cover large losses that you would have if you let him get to 31 or older. Well he's already going to be declining in skills, but it shouldnt show for a while probably not till 31ish.

Remember, he'll be 29 by the time you get to use him in league games.
I believe that decline starts at 33, so you have 29, 30, 31 and 32 before he starts to show decline. 4 seasons isn't bad. I have no idea how fast the loss of skills is, but you probably could get another season out of him or sell him before he becomes worthless.

I guess it depends on long term plans and just how much money you're talking about.

okay just say you bought a 33 yr old with a salary of 100k per week.
you play him til he is 36 years old and by this time some of his skills have dropped, does his salary also drop? or does it stay fixed on 100k per week?

Yes the salary will drop if the player's skills drop.

Salary only changes with the beginning of the season? I thought my players' salaries increased as they popped.

I'm in trouble in 2 weeks if it has a big update at the beginning of the season lol.

When buying an older player you really have to know what the future plan for the player is. You should know in advance that you're either going to use him as a temporary ringer and sell after a season of play or you're going to hold onto him until he's ready to retire. There really is no in between point because a 28 year old player's value will have dropped significantly by the time he's 31 and it won't really be worth selling at that point (unless he's one of the best BB players ever). If you sell after one season chances are you'll still be losing money on the player but you won't suffer too badly.

That's my opinion on buying older players at any rate.



when i watch the tl i would say, a 25 year old player would decline significant in the price till he is 28 and when you buy in the same "quality range" i believe the absolute loss is less with the older guy(which is also cheaper so you could get some extra succes with the rest of the money).
