None of them seem to reflect the coach's evaluation. All their sumskills indicate that they're at least 2 levels lower than what they're said to be by your coach. Besides the 1st one, he's somewhere between excellent and formidable.
Happened to me a few times but honestly have never seen it happening before with 4/4 youths pulled at the same time.

Most have been sitting in YS for an extra week or 2....but not much I can do about evaluation apart from post what has been displayed.

This is because they all got high stamina.
Multiply the stamina by 1.5 and it will be more accurate

Yes, I was hoping for a def trainee or 2 from this lot, but alas....

All cannon fodder to me & on TM. :)

Dreger looks decent, gotta plug him in to the database

I think there have been a few good def trainees pulled lately if you check over the past month of two of juniors in this topic (which is probably only a couple of pages)

I can take on some young defenders now my recent pulls disappointed somewhat…sold them off so need to fill a slot or 2 if it’s beneficial for NT…..& don’t have anything great on the horizon from my YS.
Might even sell Collina & another senior DEF over coming season…to free up training & fund senior squad development.

Pulled as solid (talent ~ 4.3 wks/pop)

Wayne Cameron, age: 18

value : 53 600 AU$ wage: 1 080 AU$

poor [3] passing good [7] striker

Probably a fraction old to become anything but otherwise rest wasn't bad.

For a GK that's not a terrible result. Not sure if he should become a keeper or if he should turn into a midfielder. Suspect GK is still the preferred state.

Christian Renaud, age: 17

I think that's workable (avoided being staminafied) so I'm ok with that. Question really becomes should he be a striker, defender or midfielder. Only issue with midfielder to me is his height. Happy for thoughts though.

Edit: Just a casual 43 ss's for a freshly pulled 17yo.
(edited)

Renaud is an amazing player. Definitely #1 for his age in every position except GK.

I'd say he is best as a midfielder. Would make a gun striker with that height, but would also make a great front MID who can run in to the box for corners etc.

If I were you, I'd train the rest of the season as pace or tech to help your strikers and then train him in mid skills with the new training system next season.

But if not, I will buy him off you haha
