With a new team, Div 5, is it better to dump all your low talented players (less than 2 stars) and look for cheap players to develop with talent over 2 stars. Or, spend the money and buy players with talent over 4 stars? What I have been doing is getting young talent, if they have 2 stars for talent, and OK stats, I keep them and fire a poor player. I also am firing a lot of kids that I just picked up because they have less than 2 stars.

Either you limit yourself to 2.5 stars talent or 3.5 stars talent players, since 2.5 and 3.0 stars result in the same 4.0 stars BPOS, but 3.5 (and 4.0) give 4.5 stars BPOS.

The different levels of talent also limits the maximum (soft cap) skill level of a player, but with Talent 2.5 able to reach skill level 15 before hitting the soft cap, then this really isn't an issue.

My personal recommendation is to get players of talent 3.5+ for long term development of a team, but if a players physicals are really awesome then I might consider to keep the player.
