Subject: youths

no, the skills that the junior gets when he comes out are random. Its only the general appraisal (average in your case) that counts towards how many weeks it takes for a junior to pop. A worse coach will take more weeks to pop and vice versa with a better coach.

I would recommend you get a general appraisal of your coach to be formidable/outstanding. It doesn't cost much more and you get a lot better results (the cheapest formid/outst coaches go for $NZ17K a week or so)

the individual skills for the coach only count for when he is your main coach, so if you are training pace, you want a coach who has unearthly/magical pace ability.

Talented junoir. Formid pull.
Dont know what to do with him yet

bad luck both ways :/

Yeah mate.

Bit of a bumma. Both 19 and half good enuff.
I dont keep many juniors, got to have talent or i sack them. So youth pulls are few and far between.

I will give them a run tomorrow against Bot to see what they are like

what skill counted for junior coach, u mean that the average skill it is, but for example if i want to pull a very good passing skill youngster, so i have to hire a formidable/outstanding junior coach with magical passing skill, right?

skills that a junior comes out with are totally random unfortunately :(

u mean that if my junior coach is a poor passing skill coach but my junior could come out with a very good passing skill? is it paradox?
and an average junior can be better than an excellent junior?

my old junior coach, who had tragic goalkeep, gave way to the current NT goalkeeper for NZ, so yes.. a paradox indeed :P

but what is the average skill of ur old coach

outstanding

dont think you need to match that though, i was earning way more so i could afford it.

so, in conclusion, the average skill of junior coach take effect, like assistant, right?

yep

came out as Solid +2:

Gareth Stephens, age: 17

club: 11 Wise Men, country: New Zealand
very good form, tragic tactical discipline

poor stamina, hopeless keeper
tragic pace, average defender

i'm actually tempted to keep this one and pawn off my other 17 year old.. Purely because he is a kiwi and i know i have good coaches.

Excellent +4

a nice middie trainee for those training PM.

I'm starting to get teh hang of this youth system. I'm maxed out with an average of solid & several looking like they will exceed formidable by a long way. Stretched out over 31 weeks...shoudl I cull them based on how far out they are because they will end up costing too much...or purely on their potential?

i'd say a bit of both with your level of available finances. Personally, i keep anyone average + and fire anyone that has 6 or more weeks talent.
