Subject: [youth] 22 October

Three disappointing pulls for me. The one not listed here was 17 and his best stat was hopeless.

Shimon Wills, age: 20

club: Gresley Rovers, country: Canada
value: 71 200 C$, wage: 1 240 C$
very good form, tragic tactical discipline

poor stamina tragic keeper
adequate pace average defender
average technique hopeless playmaker
adequate passing adequate striker

Wills is the 3.8-talent (2-)4-4-3-4-4-4-4-3(-0) I've been drooling over for more than a season, and Rovers' first ever sub-4 talent. All I can say is, Yuck!

Ian Houston, age: 20

club: Gresley Rovers, country: Canada
value: 178 800 C$, wage: 2 440 C$
very good form, tragic tactical discipline

unsatisfactory stamina hopeless keeper
unsatisfactory pace tragic defender
poor technique excellent playmaker
excellent passing adequate striker

Houston had 5.2 talent (4-)5-5-5-6(-2) and was a formidable pull to Wills' excellent. Better than Wills, but still old and hard to train. Both these guys will be TLed with fingers crossed. Wills would make a really good bargain for a beginning team, I think.

It is nice to get youth with sub 4 talent. But what can you really expect from Wills when you say that he came out excellent after 10 pops in the youth school? He started out as tragic! Keep at it and I am sure that you will get some real gems.

No youth for Real Hawkes this week. My best prospect will come out formidable, talent 4, in 3 weeks now.

Elliott Mooney, age: 20
club: Mississauga SC, country: Canada
value: 180 400 C$, wage: 2 360 C$
very good form, tragic tactical discipline

hopeless stamina poor keeper
good pace very good defender
average technique average playmaker
very good passing poor striker


Talent of 3.5. Age sucks, but I'll probably train him for a few seasons.

I am happy with his stamina, and also that he popped in his final week. Everything else was a disappointment - no stat higher than adequate, maximum age. Given that he wasn't cursed with stamina, I can't imagine a way he could have been worse.

(Also, he only had 9 pops; he started out hopeless (-:)

Did someone need a goalie trainee?

Poor stamina is bad.

I got once a player with similar or worse stats (if I remember it was 4 average and 1 adequate), but he was 16yo. Now he is on the NT.
The problem of you player is the age and I suppose he is 19 because he was for too long in the school.
I don't keep any youngster that comes with skill bellow weak (and weak only if is over 25 weeks to see if he is really talented). Try to keep only over weak and that may improve your pulls
