Retiring players

[Get Blunted]

I just brought in 29 year old Muriel to my Liverpool team with hopes that he retires in his early 30's so I can get that regen. With my luck he'll play till he's 38 though.

You know, if he's starting consistently I doubt they'll retire since they're still getting playing time. I think players retire after their stats decrease to a certain point which only happens if they're not playing. I think lol

It happens whether they're playing or not. Some players just regress faster than others. Neymar is 35 and is still in his mid-high 80s, despite me rarely playing him.

I think the way it works is the older they get, the higher % chance of them deciding to retire at the start of every season. Messi retired at 35, despite being a frequent starter for Barcelona. I found his regen in the free agents and couldn't resist...

When a player retires, the game generates that same player with new stats as a youth player. His country and playing position will be the same (And I think his dominant foot, too), and his overall main strengths will also be the same, but his stats will be completely random. Christiano Ronaldo regened as a 5'5 player with 2* weak foot and 1* skills...

Oh, and the regened player won't always go directly to your squad. If the game determines you have balance in that player's position, he'll go to the free agents, where he'll likely get signed by the CPU. For this reason, it's best to find this regen and shortlist him the second you start the new season.
