Well If you are only using them for 1-2 seasons, then go for the guy that will benefit your team the most (in this case PLayer 1 or player 2). 35 is obviously better than 15k, but if the first player is more balanced and not dropping in skills yet then I may go for him because he is 32 and not 33. Of course I can't really give that good of advice when I can't see their skills, but use your best judgement and I'm sure you'll be fine. Another thing to keep in mind, is that If you simply wait for another week or two you may have enough money to simply buy a 20kish 28 year old or younger that you can use for longer. Personally I would save your money for now and try to get a guy who is no older that 30, but that's just my advice.
