Passon for tech and it was wild :(

Any promising pull in the next few weeks?

Nothing here

A few of the above listed ones appear promising

This is the state of my youth school...

Barney Mitchell 18 solid [8] 1
Jade Longmuir 16 unsatisfactory [2] 2
Preston Pottier 18 solid [8] 7
Gavin Puca 16 adequate [6] 7
Stan Jackovic 18 solid [8] 8
Preston Cahill 16 adequate [6] 8
Andrew Zdrilic 17 adequate [6] 8
Tommy Xu 17 solid [8] 12
Bailey Ciantar 17 good [7] GK 13
Christopher Moss 17 weak [4] 13
Barney Love 17 weak [4] 23
Harrold Baveas 17 good [7] 27
Enzo Elliott 16 good [7] 29

Maybe 4 interesting ones in that lot. None for the rest of the season, but I did just promote Bakis, who looks like a star of the future.

I'm promoting just 3 youths in the next 8 weeks, and looking through the list, I wouldn't say anyone is really interesting (possibly a 19yo Incredible in 18 weeks if they have great talent but have only had them a couple of weeks).

Youths with a talent estimation, this is the "expected" age and pull

Obviously the estimated talents could go up or down with more data points but:

18 good - talent 4.67
19 VG - talent 6
18 Excellent - talent 5.3
18 Solid - talent 9.29
20 VG - talent 3.93
19 VG - talent 6.92
18 VG - talent 4.0
20 Incredible - talent 4.83
19 Formidable - talent 8.4

Over half my youth school is so new they haven't got a talent estimation, mainly because I've had so few worth keeping, that I'm able to keep saturday pulls a bit longer before sacking them

yeah... if they are not 16/17yo is rough, except a really high level on a 18yo or even more on a 19yo...
sometimes YS suck

Yup.
But at the same time, if they made the youth school better, it would just mean some of the good players now would become rubbish relative to others anyway. So I'm not sure there is a good fix .

Simon Brown 16 good [7] outfield 2
Kyle Houston 16 average [5] outfield 2
Michael Spencer 19 brilliant [14] outfield 3

I’m hopeful Brown gets to solid before next week’s YS graduation.
Spencer due the week after - feasible he makes it to magical. He’s been scoring his share of goals & ratings hint at attacking skill set.

Light a candle for Brown!!
Spencer is rough causd even in magical he will left school with almost 20yo...
Probably he will not be usable!
But hope i am wrong

Yeah age and time of season not great for Spencer …just hoping for good skill distribution.

Yeah get a good skill distribution and it makes it worth it.
The good thing about the high levels is if they get lucky, they could already be high in a number of levels. They will also be very talented players moving forward.

It's always a risk, but it can definitely be worth it. Less valuable than they once were, but can still be totally worth it.

Solid, ???
