Subject: Future Star Pulls

You better pray you don't get screwed over, he could potentially be fairly old & that would ruin him in terms of being a decent prospect.

He's pretty much screwed anyway, been through two age updates and will age again pretty much straight away.

Frederick Rivers, age 20
value: 84 450 £
wage: 1 080 £
very good form

adequate stamina hopeless keeper
good pace average defender
very good technique adequate playmaker
excellent passing weak striker

talking of screwed.... Magical+1 with 3.2 talent... turns 21 in a couple of weeks. what a waste! if he had been 18 i would have been laughing :(

Ouch both you and Phil have been really unlucky there. :(

its those wrestny polish admins trying to stop us from building a decent U21 NT

Maybe we just expect too much!?

Perhaps, it's mainly the age that kills youth pulls, and if we're led to believe it's random, 33% chance of them being "what you expect" isn't too bad.

I just pulled another potential 16yo today, he was 18, again.

i have never had a pull above formidable that came out under 20. is that REALLY expecting too much?

I bet you're exaggerating :-)

i think that's possible - the best pull I've had is incredible, and I've only had 5 or 6 above formidable.

Were they all 20? ;-)

2 or 3 of them weren't. I think I've got 1 million+ on a youth only twice from selling.

i swear its true. previously i have had one brilliant and a couple of outstandings all 20yrs old, and apart from that all have been formidable or worse.

I had a brilliant 18 early this season... hoping will be a star someday

I had 1 Magical so far and he was similar to yours and about the same time of season too, so virtually 21 when he came out. Over Formidable I have had very few, and each was max age so far I believe. My best pull so far is Coatsworth who came out as a 16 yr old with proven talent. Apart from that not much to write home about. In fact when the age has been good, the skill distribution has sucked. lol

I think I've got 1 million+ on a youth only twice from selling.

i've yet to break 300,000 from selling a youth :(
