My advice is to wait until thursday and see if any pop. After thursday, sack any you still don't like. Other people would tell you to sack all of them straight away, some may suggest to keep the weak.
If you can't get on between thursday and saturday, I'd suggest keeping the weak as a compromise.

that's a pretty poor lot, I'd fire all but benny without thinking.
With max talent and a first week pop he can reach a near valuble level, but I'd fire him if no pop on thursday

i'd not even wait on players below weak on the whole.

Well I suppose I only do if they have quite a large number of weeks

I do if they have enough weeks to go (at least more than 20). A very good player with great talent (every 4 weeks) could well be more valuable to your team than a formidabel with poor talent, who's good for selling purposes only...

I comprimised i kept the poor and weak rejected the other 2

You can use my spreadsheet (available in the downloads section of sokkerhelp.org) to see what they will come out.

(edited)

what level was he when pulled?

This is what my current crop look like:

Michael Pearse good 2 reject
Spencer Collins solid 2 reject
Damian Collison adequate 8 reject
Jackie Arrowsmith adequate 10 reject
Gregory Melville good 11 reject
Kevin Lawrence adequate 12 reject
Jay Piggin very good 12 reject
Frank Parrish excellent 16 reject
Bruce Bolton solid 19 reject
Mickey Gillatt adequate 24 reject
Craig Falland adequate 25 reject
Nigel Barmby average 26 reject
Joey Stephens good 27 reject
William Ardley good 28 reject

No too shabby, looking foward to start of new season as the excellent 16 should be formidable possibly incredible. But he would have crossed 2 seasons so will probably be 20!
(edited)

Heres mine then:

Corey Prime adequate 1 reject
Andy Houghton good 4 reject
Gerald Bilton adequate 4 reject
Will Jameson very good 5 reject
Warren Coward very good 5 reject
Steven Bars adequate 8 reject
Larry Kenton average 9 reject
Tim Colley adequate 10 reject
Brian Larkin good 11 reject
Carl Harte good 12 reject
Wesley Graham good 19 reject
Tom Beaumont adequate 26 reject
Edmund Ombler adequate 31 reject

Both the v.good 5's should be excellent when they arrive. And Corey Prime is the most untalented player I have ever seen, he hasnt popped at all since he has been in my juniors! Dont know why I kept him really?!

Second half of this season is going to be painful.

Tristan Burns solid 1 reject
Barry Crush excellent 4 reject
Stephen Grant average 5 reject
Steven Thornton very good 5 reject
Edmund Banks solid 6 reject
Seymour Lester solid 7 reject
Wes Sykes very good 13 reject
Teddy Sheppee very good 13 reject
Vernon Jass solid 15 reject
Gabriel Duke good 18 reject
Christie Duke good 18 reject
Jackie Winpenny good 24 reject
Neil England good 27 reject
