Subject: Youth players

Yeah good idea.

Hitting 20, with no PM or striker and a talent of 5. Not NT material.

Pulled as good approx 5 talent from my own calculations with a vg youth coach (so take that in mind as well).

Rob Haereiti, age: 18
club: The Comets, country: Australia
value: 55 600 AU$
wage: 1 080 AU$
very good form
tragic tactical discipline
height: 177 cm, weight: 80.9 kg, BMI: 25.82

tragic stamina tragic keeper
poor pace average defender
good technique weak playmaker
tragic passing poor striker

I can say I did pick up on the tech and defender from the junior matches, but it's not really as good a distribution as I'd have liked. If anyone wants and is training defenders let me know, otherwise I'll just go off and list and see if I can make a few dollars off it.

Think the TL may be the best place.

Pulled as VG, talent 3.3

Suits my training. Bonza!

Nice pull mate. Young and talented, hard to predict how good he will be but worth a crack

It's almost time to pull an 18yo Magical :D (And a 20yo Incred)

Excellent, "Talent" 7.8

Too old, insufficient talent.

Okay, that might actually work.

Jealous that you have something to look forward to. My squad is absolute rubbish at the moment. My prospects top out at around Oustanding.

Magical 18yo Talent 3.5

Julian Trajcevski, age: 18, sum[50]

unsatisfactory stamina hopeless keeper
very good pace excellent defender
solid technique average playmaker
average passing excellent striker

So, he's probably the perfect striker trainee. Which is probably not really needed for a magical youth pull (as they only need 3 skills). And that DEF is a real bonus for a striker.

The other option would be to train as a MID anyway, because that striker or the DEF could come in handy in the future regardless.

Will have to think about whether to sell or not

He's a defender, but too old. Figured as much prior to pulling that he would be too old to train, but hoped for a good skill distribution

Trajcesvski is a striker. Nice secondaries and all, but he's almost 19, so IMO it is not really worth trying to turn him into a mid.

I kind of agree, I am interested to know what agbell also thinks (regarding his chances as a mid), as he is the current premier Australian MID trainer and you were the previous premier mid trainer.

I could literally train him in any position, and he will be an U21 star, but want to make sure he gets trained wherever he goes.

Im still on pace, which won't hurt him, but was planning to go to passing next, but could do tech instead for his sake.

Just doing quick calculations, by the end of age 21, he could reasonably look something like this if trained as a MID.

unsatisfactory stamina, hopeless keeper
Excellent pace, Formidable defender
Very Good technique, Formidable playmaker
Formidable passing, Formidable striker

As a striker though, he would look a lot nicer at the end of U21 (probably more like 1xout, 2xincred or 2xout, 1x incred)

unsatisfactory stamina, hopeless keeper
Incredible pace, Formidable defender
Incredible technique, adequate playmaker
adequate passing, Incredible striker

You've pretty much outlined it.

He's an decent mid, but he's a better striker. I don't think its particularly close, unless you happen to know that we have 3+ better striker options and our mid stocks are bare.

Yeah that's pretty fair.

Our best Striker is actually a mid (and to be fair, he probably should have been trained as a striker, but our mids were bare, and the only person who could afford to buy him and make sure he got trained was a mid trainer).

We do have a lot of strikers coming through, but most are worse, and the only better ones are older.

The only other player we have had close in his skills in recent times, and this was at approximately the same time of their respective ages (keeping in mind, the top one had random popped in pace, def and striker by this stage, and was being trained in tech)

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

Compared with Traj

unsatisfactory stamina hopeless keeper
very good [9] pace excellent [10] defender
solid [8] technique average [5] playmaker
average [5] passing excellent [10] striker

Trajcevski is definitely a striker and one I'd be willing to train up if I had the bank balance.

Anyway I pulled this as a solid a few moments ago.

You were right about your youth pull being a striker.
