This may be old news but i will say it anyway...
When a player retires and disappears from the database there is always a player created in his place, with the same nationality (ies) and the same potential. They are always young too.
For example, when Christian Vieri retires there will be a top quality Italian/Australian SC with great finishing and heading and a lot more 20s. He will have a potential of 200 and will be the best player in like season 20.
When Edgar Davids retires there would be a Dutch DMC who is equally as good, and so on.
The trick is to find these players before other clubs do. They often begin on a free or at small sides so if you can find them then you will get them cheap.
I know this way of finding players is a little bit cheeky... but this is what i have been doing:
When a player retires i load up the pre game editor and search for him. I then go back to the game and look for players of the same position and nationality who are under 21. Then go back to the editor and select certain stats that are above 16 or so and put them onto the player search, this should come up with one or two names. It's just a matter of elimination then.
Another example, i am in Season 3 with Spurs/England now and Ginola retired. I found his regen, his name is Cedric Remy and plays for Amiens. The names are different each time.
If you get a team with the regens of:
Kahn
Maldini
Thuram
Cannavaro
Lizarazu
Davids
Zidane
Rivaldo
Ronaldo
Vieri
Figo
Kluivert
then you will be laughing by season 15-18. You will have the best side in Europe and it would have cost you hardly anything, you can then sell these players for fortunes and get more regenerated players as more and more current quality players retire... Shevchenko, Beckham, Gerrard, Raul etc.
Anyway, i am off to bed. Hope thats not too confusing and it may have helped.
