Subject: Pop's

4 pops.

4 plops. Think that's the most I've ever had. Some of the first team olds are now on the cusp of being booted out of the first team in favour of trainees.

That must be affecting your team a bit now? Or are the trainees becoming that good?

Probably will be a bit of first team hurt as the trainees aren't at the level the olds were at when first brought in. But longer term be beneficial and pull down the average age of the team. I may end up having to look at bringing in a short term def and mid though to plug gaps while other trainees get ready.

I need a few stronger players, 1 in def, 1 as winger and 1 striker again. I don't have the money for all 3 though and my crowds being so bad have really hurt my finances this season. Ironic as I have had a much better start than expected this season......

9 pops (0 stamina), 2 plops. Best week for a while.

7 pops, 3 plops, 0 stamina.

This weeks youth school - Up 7 / down 4 - No confirmed talents still. Edit Gareth Bale is mooted to be a potential incredible talent (3.8) and new 18 yr old.

5 pops and 1 plop - no stamina

Bamford another double Pop....he's going to be a monster with some luck. Already 41 mid points at early 18. He is due a pop in passing and defence too.

brilliant form, very good tactical discipline

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


There was also another nice pop on Davis which I hope is handy for the U21 team.

Bamford is gorgeous.

I had 5 pops, all good ones, 1 stamina, and 2 plops.

He really is, he even pops when I am not expecting him to. He took 3 weeks to formidable pace. He might be my best ever, but it's difficult to say when the training part has changed so much. I think he is certainly my best since the game was changed. Doyle is also really nice, but he's now 3 points behind Bamford.

If I remember correctly, your old player Bensted was similar?

Another quite dull week.

3 pops. 1 of relevance on my 17yo mid. Then one plop on an older defender.

5 pops although 1 was stamina. 3 plops. Not worst week but not best.

5 pops + 1 stamina. 2 plops, 1 hurt.
Bamford again a double but 1 was stamina, this guy is exciting!
Barnes a nice pace pop.
Keeper trainee passing pop but not expected gk pop.

Not the best or worst week I guess. Form was also up and down so kind of average.
