i dont but im strict as a manager, i always consider those who i dont like, i find myself immiediately clicking on the reserves and anyone over the age of 29 is transfur listed, my favorite club is liverpool and Fiorentina and despite me liking for example gerrard who i believe is 30 in the game 1st season i find myself putting him in the reserves and transfur listing him. the only liverpool player who gets away with being old in my squad is jamie carrager, this is because i always liked him as a coach, when you look at my squad you see some of the best youngsters in the world and noone over the age of 25 come the second or third season into the game.
However this is just what i do so no i do not find that to much of a problem... however i do not generally go my favorite clubs, i always get bored of being them and go for a team that i do know to well or occasionally going for a team i havnt heard of in a different continent. i decided to go to Brazil a few months ago and i knew nothing about football in brazil... its also a great way to learn about more potential superstar players that you can sign for your next game.
