Subject: [news] Junior Teams

I see what you mean!

That is bad luck, truly the worst of both worlds.

I AM PLAYING MORSE UNITED FOR THE 3RD TIME THIS SEASON!!!

SOMETHING'S WRONG

Lol :))

could happen with only 17 teams..

Actually 9 teams, as you get a random opponent from your half of the table ;)

Hi All,

I have pulled out of the youth school this player today:

Iakobos Perperidis, age 19

poor stamina tragic keeper
average pace weak defender
weak technique adequate playmaker
weak passing poor striker

He has played 4 games in the youth league as central defender with a performance of approximately 33 so i was expecting that this guy is a defender. And his performance into the field was supporting this assumption. However today i have noticed the skills point distribution and i really don't understand it. Based on the recent changes i would expect that youth player skills points are related to specific position performance but seems this is not the case ...

Is there sth that i am missing here?
(edited)

not a school problem, but a general problem of DEF/MID marks

midfielders get high DEF marks, even if they don't have defender skill, because off. actions are some kind of overrated for DEFs.

in Germany we had an excellent defender pulled today, he made 20 in school as DEF (poor pace, average playmaker). Yours has more playmaker and passing (and pace, but pace imho is not the reason).

Thx for your reply

In this case we can only make assumptions about the skills in the specific area - in field performance is just an indication.

Besides, weak defending can be quite high in junior matches (as your opponent may fieald weak technique - even tragic technique in mid/att positions without knowing ;) ). Pace is also known to boost overall ratings, in every position, and he is also well endowed in pace relative to other skills.

I can accept this comment Don Enzo as far as pace is concerned. But how much can improve a weak defender?

But on technique i don't agree with you, its not only 1-2 matches but 4 matches with similar performance, does not sound rational that all of his opponents were below weak technique?

A "little" question.

We know that if a junior player plays the junior match, the evaluation of his level is more accurate.

But I think that, somewhat, simply staying in school without playing, every weeks the evaluation of level will be better.

Obviously playing would increase the "adjustment speed", but the adjustment (smaller) take place even if player doesn't play.

What do you think?

as far as I understand: no, if he doesn't play, it's always the same bad evaluation

and if he plays, the improvement of the estimation depends on how many minutes he played

The thing that I don't understand is why we have adjustments during the updates even if the player hasn't play..

do we have?

we have new estimations, yes, but we don't know if they are more accurate than the old ones

mmm..ok, so new estimations are totally indipendents from the older ones..
The new way is even more complicated than expected.
In the future the number of youth in school wouldn't exceed 18-20 players..

afaik yes

yes...

In the future the number of youth in school wouldn't exceed 18-20 players..

I hope not, it's just the decision whom to keep that has changed
