Subject: Bargain or Robbed? You decide

I would say about right. In a few weeks he will be 21, so if he is talented he might make a good striker by the time he is 23, if he has little talent it may take him until he is 25. But I do like strikers with some def skill, he may turn out to be a gem.

divine form, poor tactical discipline

formidable stamina, tragic keeper
very good pace, very good defender
very good technique, solid playmaker
unsatisfactory passing, very good striker

£306k, will be a reserve striker, may even push for a first team spot for next season if my other strikers form takes a nosedive. He could also play as an emergency defender if I need him to, any thoughts?

very good form, hopeless tactical discipline


unsatisfactory stamina, unsatisfactory keeper
average pace, good defender
very good technique, very good playmaker
tragic passing, good striker

paid 150k was told he was a 4 week poper in junior school.. having passing training

What are you going to use him as?

He will be a MID I would guess after passing training.

I would have thought he would be a better money maker as a striker?

going to use him as a mid... have loads of players that need passing training...so may stick to it till the end of next season

You are obviously more experienced than me but how long is it going to take from tragic passing to a decent level?

If a player is young / ok talent, and you assume 3.5 weeks per pop, then 4 pops per season. Maybe 5 or 6 pops per season from tragic.

If a player is older, maybe 4.5 weeks per pop ? So 3 or 4 pops per season.

On that basis, I'd say 2 seasons from tragic to say, very good / excellent.

Does that seem reasonable ?
(edited)

Yes, but remember that the lower levels (between tragic - adequate) can train faster. It could be as quick as 1 pop per week for the first few levels, but usually 1 week faster than normal if you are lucky enough to get a player who does that.

On that basis is the guy above a bargain at 150k though, I wouldn't know as I haven't bought or sold enough players yet.

Got him for a £1, he'll play the odd game and get stamina, technique and pace training, no idea of talent however.

Reckon you did ok with your nugget ;)

Cheers heres hoping for a random pop or two. ;)

129 k. Robbed probably.
