Subject: Youth players

Nah I sold McLaren and although it was the right thing at the time and paid for the players that kept me in the league it still burns a little with every update on how good he’ll be lol

Chances of Healy being as talented as McLaren are very small but only 1 primary skill point behind him when pulled so will give him a go just in case!

Congrats! He's a great youth. Good luck with his training. I look forward to seeing how good he'll be.

Nooooo, what a beast, that would cost a fortune in TL

Perfect height+weight

Nice!!

Blows Harding out of the water. He's not close to that level.

Congratulations

Still a decent pull. And in an age where talent matter most

Not nearly as much as training and getting the satisfaction of seeing the player develop. Then you still have the option at 22-23 of selling for even more than you do today. Let’s be real here. Unless you want to sit around for years and trading away for a potential winfall later on for a few seasons, you keep these kind of players any time you get them if you can fit them in. You need to enjoy the game at times. The only time you consider selling is if you can’t train them for whatever reason (or they’re better being trained by someone else for the NT) or if you need a cash injection to boost your squad quickly to be able to be competitive within a division/league.

Whatever he would sell for now, if he has any talent whatsoever, he will sell for even more when he’s 21-22. That may change if he gets to 25/26 or older but if he’s still young enough for training he will still make significant coin.

Looks good, but I'm not planning on getting a coach with high keeper skill.

Looking less good is my latest youth.
