Main Arguments:

Correcting Inflation in the Transfer Market: The current system creates a demand "bottleneck." Players between the ages of 25 and 27 reach disproportionate prices because they are the only ones who guarantee competitive stability for more than a couple of seasons. By extending the useful life to 32, the pressure on that age range will decrease, allowing the market for veteran players (29-31 years old) to remain active and valuable, instead of them becoming assets that lose value abruptly and immediately.

Fairness in Player Life Cycle and Development: A youth player typically finishes their basic formation and technical specialization (bonuses, Training Camps, and exchanges) around the age of 22-24. Under the current system, a manager only enjoys the player's maximum potential for about 5 seasons before the loss of key attributes like Speed and Stamina makes them obsolete for high-level competition. Extending this period to age 32 ensures that the effort and resources invested in development translate into a fair lifespan, aligning with modern professional football where peak performance often lasts much longer.

Optimization of Investment in Training Camps (TC): Sending a player to a TC represents a significant expenditure of money and time (weeks without being able to use the player). It is frustrating that after multiple TC stints throughout a career to maximize attributes, the player begins to "break down" at age 29. Delaying the decline to age 32 ensures that the economic investment in TC has a reasonable return, allowing the training costs to be amortized over more seasons of top-level performance.

Conclusion: Delaying the decline will allow managers to maintain their tactical projects for longer, foster greater loyalty toward home-grown squads, and make the investment in training much more logical and rewarding for the manager.

Currently, players in ManagerZone begin to lose skill balls in Speed and Stamina upon reaching the age of 29. I propose that the start of this decline period be postponed until the age of 32. This modification is essential to balance the game's economy, ensure fairness in training investments, and improve tactical stability.

The decline begins at age 30, not 29. And from 30 to 32, the point of your desired decline start, the lose one ball in each, stamina and speed.

If they enter the decline zone with decent values in the two fitness skills, they are not obsolete for top level. For that reason some 30 or 31yos are still transferred for millions.
