Who would you keep / sell?
Here's a dilemma I've had quite a few times over the seasons:

Player 1:
-----------
Rating : 93
Sum of attributes - higher
Physical/Mental/Technical (overall total) - higher
Match Preview - 90

Player 2:
-----------
Rating : 91
Sum of attributes - lower
Physical/Mental/Technical (overall total) - lower
Match Preview - 91

Which would you keep, which would you sell ?

Depends on your priority.

If you're looking to boost your average player rating, keep the 93-rated guy and sell the 91-rated one (or keep both, if they're both that good!) UNLESS it reduces your overall preview score to sell the 91-rated guy.

If your overall preview rating is higher with the 91-rated guy, keep him and sell the 93-rated guy UNLESS it reduces your APR to sell the 93-rated guy.

If selling either player has a negative impact on your APR or your highest possible preview, keep them both UNLESS you can't afford their wages. (It's also good to have strength in depth.)

If all 3 "unless" situations apply, choose whichever one you can best live with according to your current priorities (be that winning matches, club rating, or financial situation). If there's no good option, choose the least bad one for your club's current situation.

I feel really sorry for you Roland, having to decide which 90+ player is surplus to requirements. Must be tough at the top

I doubt (but I might be wrong) that getting rid of one 93-rated player vs a 91-rated one will affect your APR.

I therefore assume (but I might be wrong) that more important to you is having the edge on matchday.

Ergo, if you really want to get rid of one then keep the 91-rated player.

I would sell:

a) the older of the 2

b) the player whose name is the most difficult to pronounce/you dislike the most

All i?m concluding is that perhaps it?s time to bring Rusty Butt back home to the Ducks.
