First up - You should not never "ditch" a player: you should only (ever) accept that someone else is making a stronger case.
Fine. Nasser Hussain made a stronger case. How can you tell this? By looking at their stats.

What you said just then does make sense, but it doesn't really change anything. You can only pick players who you know will perform. Personally, I never was a fan of Hussain- I thought he was slow an inelegant- but there's no point in being all style if you've got no substance to go with it.
