Oh and I spoke to cometer, he said he hasn't ruled out coming back, especially after I told him about the two new devs and the forum actually discussing ideas etc.

Brilliant. One of my fondest memories of this stupid game was coming up with wacky tactics against him when he was so strong, and getting a few results :) I had a tactic called ‘psycho’ which I built to use just on him a few times, it was the most extreme offside trap imaginable.

He was definitely beatable, but he could turn on the luck when he needed. We have known each other IRL for a long time, and this is nothing new with him and games haha.
Lucky he is a good bloke or else I'd be so pissed :D

He is caught up with other games at present, but I do just keep nudging, and when I mentioned about the devs, it was the first time he gave some so of positive maybe.

I did find out he joined up with a team not long after I came back, but had issues actually logging in to the team, so it went bot and he wasn't fussed enough to follow it up (especially given it could have taken a day or a year to get a reply)

Speaking of tactics, I notice your club announcement is "First Win" when happened to occur against me 12yrs ago. I think it may need to be updated to "First Loss", again with me being the protagonist :P

Talented. 18 weeks for 5 pops.

Chad Spiteri

#9 currently for his age in defenders (#5-#10 are all within 1 skill point for their def+speed, with secondaries separating them).

Definitely worth trying to sell a few times before giving up on him

So just a PSA
I was looking through some of my old players to see what they were like before I sold, and what I did notice was how hard it can be to predict how good someone will become. And this is coming from our experienced players.

Unknown talent. Likely to list/sack unless someone wants him?

This guy is now 3rd def for his age, and in the running to be playing U21s by 20.

A formidable and an excellent came out today. This is the tripe I was given.
Warren Mairou, age: 18

club: Achmids Soul, country: Australia,
value: 93 600 AU$, wage: 1 480 AU$,
very good form, tragic tactical discipline,
height: 163 cm, weight: 65 kg, BMI: 24.46


weak stamina tragic keeper

average technique poor playmaker

He is now our 2nd best striker for his age, and likely to be the #1 striker by U21 if trained well.

You sold the following player: Jeremy Beltrame and received 398 240 AU$



Handy cash for a player with little talent.

Currently our #2 midfielder when in form

And finally this guy, didn't look like much, but he is now Divine Defender, and if he goes to a pace trainer, I'm sure we will see him in the main NT one day

Good - will try to sell due to age, but likely sack. Talent (regression) is 5.8. 5 pops in 11 weeks (very misleading)

Rhys Mundy, age 16value: 26 800 AU$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very Good - great distribution of skill - rubbish talent (9+ via regression, 4.5 via wk/pops).
Will try to sell, but will sack likely

Paolo Hickey, age 19value: 85 200 AU$

Outstanding. Sokker Assistente is claiming talent of 3.2.

Iain O'Brien, age: 19

poor stamina tragic keeper
adequate pace good defender

Seems a bit on the old side to make any noise from that base I would think.

Will plug him in later, and you may be right, but he is very nicely rounded so I think he is in with a good chance

Excellent (was formidable for 2 weeks before plopping the week he is pulled. Talent the wrong side of 4)

Lucas Kearton, age: 19
club: Tribe, country: Australia
value: 82 800 AU$

Hello stamina my old friend.

Any talent in the 3's, 4's, 5's are probably worth training if looking for the NT (he is 8th or 9th for his age - but everyone is pretty close in skills)

He probably won't make NT, but if you have room, the most profitable may be to throw him in your pace lineup, see if you can't get a def random pop before pace catches def.

Otherwise, yeah, just sell him

Good. Talent exactly 4.0

Mark Cook, age 16value: 64 000 AU$

I mean, good thing is, he will be quick to train that pace/playmaker up as a 16yo with a good talent.
But definitely would take a bit of work to get more rounded

A few good looking youths here



Watch this not work
(edited)

Mairou could be decent if he gets some good distribution with that talent and Formidable.
Hassell looking even better - 19yo, 3.8 talent and coming out as Outstanding
Flatt 18yo, 3.8 talent and coming out at Formidable

But the BIG FELLA!!! Trajevski, 18yo - 3.2 talent - Unearthly!!!
