Hmm.. keeping only 9 players seems risky, since there is no guarantee that the next Homelands will have a variety of good orcs to fill all positions. Furthermore, you'd better have a fair amount of money saved up to buy another 26 that are better than the orcs that you've dropped. I don't really have a "system" per se for dropping some guys while keeping others: it's more of a fluid, mooshy, squishy.. thing.
I tend to keep most of my orcs except (a) the ones whom I saw were terrible in the replays, particularly in the playoffs; (b) the ones whose rollover and sale values are ridiculously high; and (c) the orcs who have no potential to get better, either through training or experience. Often, the number that gets dropped is less than 10... just enough to gather some good or better-than-average replacements.
