This is my best 18yo i can show you all unfortunately;

Luca Simmonds, age: 18
club: Armitage Shanks, country: England
value : 73 800 £
wage: 660 £
unearthly [16] form
very good [9] tactical discipline
height: 177 cm, weight: 82.6 kg, BMI: 26.37

poor [3] stamina tragic [0] keeper
solid [8] pace excellent [10] defender
average [5] technique average [5] playmaker
adequate [6] passing poor [3] striker

I've got no 18yo trainees. Do have a 17yo:

Max Breed, age: 17

club: Rock Bottom, country: England
value : 31 950 £
wage: 345 £
brilliant [14] form
excellent [10] tactical discipline
height: 177 cm, weight: 68.2 kg, BMI: 21.77


weak [4] stamina tragic [0] keeper
average [5] pace weak [4] defender
adequate [6] technique good [7] playmaker
average [5] passing hopeless [1] striker

He is popping along nicely so has at least reasonable talent.

Thats a little unfair, I must be able to complain about certain things, like the Sokker economy, fans mood, unrealistic expectations, Poor gates.....give me hose at least. :p

Oh and Simmonds is quite nice ;)

I like the name too. How does he compare to other 17 yr olds?

Last time posted, was on the chart not the best, but not worst either. He's popping at a decent rate although all his skills are still in the low bracket.

Jax Pedro, age: 17

This weeks training:

2 double pops on 18 yr olds.
1 stamina pop on an 18 yr old

2 nasty plops on oldies. Both becoming non-first team now.
Form Overall Down :(

Youth School - 6 up / 3 Down

Pace to excellent in 2.5 trainings.
Stanley Doyle, age: 18, height: 195 cm

club: Thamesmead Town FC, country: England
very good form, excellent tactical discipline

weak stamina, tragic keeper
excellent pace, average defender
solid technique, very good playmaker
solid passing, weak striker

GT pop in passing in just 8 GT. He's becoming more useful looking and had good talent so I hope those secondary skills will pop in GT quite quickly.

value: 59 250 £, wage: 780 £
club: Thamesmead Town FC, country: England
unsatisfactory form, excellent tactical discipline

poor stamina, tragic keeper

1 pop, 1 plop, 2 stamina

Wtf, I surely have a big week coming.

Also realised I am only training 85% on my youngsters a lot of times.

Thats going to be a big reason, I always make sure they get 96%. Doyle didn't this week because he got suspended in the Sunday league game meaning I couldn't give him minutes last night.

You have to give 22 minutes in league matches and the full 90 minutes of a friendly to get 96%. You get 96.5% from a full league match and 96.36% from 22 mins and 90 mins Friendly.

5 pops.

One big one on defender. Pace on my 17yo mid. Then 2 striker pops on defenders and a stamina pop.

Yeah, obviously didn't have the issue when i was still in the cup, and did bring on subs for my game against forestman, but i needed results more than the training tbh, and bringing on subs for another 22 minutes felt too risky for me.

Will definitely try and do this more in future though.

Thats my dilemma for the rest of the season and why I probably wont win the league. Training over the title for me. Juggling training with the cup matches has been so tough the last 2 weeks and also this week for the final.

So tough training some of the best English prospects, along with being top of the Prem and in the cup final.

We all feel for you ;)

3 pops, 2 of them Stamina. By far the worst training week I can remember.

Your sarcasm was so heart felt I laughed out loud in the gym like a nut case lol

I was merely pointing out it’s tough getting full training while trying to attain what you want to in the league :P
