And fittock truly is a blow
..
Really sad, worst possible distribution...

24 wing sum is the best sum he has... I have 22 wing sum 17 yo i paid only 500k eu for 2 weeks ago... Even if he were 18 yo the distribution is so bad it hurts, but then he could maybe be u21 mid sub

He does have talent though.

Well try him as wing if you want to see how he comes out.... but he has skills similar to what 17 yos usually look like if they can be good and 18 yo if they can strengthen the rooster in size

And to be sure... he is 9th in u19 database.... but as I said a bit about we lack in future mids, so if it was the generation from last season, this season and next he would surely be lower

Kane groom looks very nice for a 17 yo att start of season. We dont have much that age to compare with, but lets hope he has slightly better talent, for sure he is u21 nt candidate

When I took over the u21NT, there had been so little communication and community involvement, the #1 striker at the end of the season had just 7 skill points more than that, then 2 seasons later, the #1 striker had just 3 skill points more (despite being 4.5yrs older and with the longer seasons).

The average skill for strikers (ie solid pace + VG tech + Exc striker = 9 as average) over the top 2 strikers throughout my years as coach were as follows

1 - 9.16
2 - 10.5
3 - 7.83
4 - 10.16
5 - 10.16
6 - 10.66
7 - 11.16
8 - 12.66
9 - 12.16
10 - 11.5
11 - 13.16
12 - 10.83
13 - 12.33
14 - 11.66
15 - 11.5
16 - 12.16
17 - 12.83
18 - 12.33
19 - 13.16
20 - 13.66

I wasn't actually planning on posting all that but it was quick and interesting to see that trajectory rise. Fingers crossed we can keep that going

With McLaren there may be a new record :)

Amazing stats, do You have similar one for other positions as well?

Kane groom is best out of the two decent u17 atts we have. The other only has 7-5-6 in striker skills

I could easily make them but no, I just did that one in the 5minutes it took me to type it
Remember, the above is the average of the best 2 for that season, not a single person by themselves

We have many strikers.... we will be very strong in att this and next 3-4 seasons it looks like. The problem is we really lack mids. We have faarado i just bought from mangol and sal tucker which is 17 yo from ginger nuts above average. But we rely a lot on being pulled more u19 mids...

I don't think Coyne will make it, despite his talent (3.7).

Toby Coyne, age: 18, height: 180 cm
value: 58 400 AU$, wage: 1 040 AU$
club: Cool Runnings, country: Australia
form [9] very good, tactical discipline [0] tragic

I landed a gem! His talent is in the 3s. Calculated at 3.7 by SA.

Luka Villafane, age: 17, height: 179 cm
value: 134 800 AU$, wage: 1 920 AU$

stamina [1] hopeless, keeper [0] tragic
pace [9] very good, defender [3] poor
technique [5] average, playmaker [5] average
passing [2] unsatisfactory, striker [9] very good

Lovely pull :)

What a great pull!

When will you list him?
