Subject: Youth Monitoring

I have to question whether the youth team is worth it sometimes. I got 4 new players this morning. 3 are Tragic and the other is disastrous.

i thought you could only get 3 new players at a time max ?

That's unusual bad luck though in my opinion.

Here's my current crop:

Richard Mooney good 13

Patrick Hogan adequate 19

Corey Burne average 20

Brendon Diffley adequate 29

wow, that does seem likea bit of bad luck.

I only got one this week, he's average

---

I think the highest i've had since i joined was good and that was only once.

current batch:
James Falland good 2
Stephen Merriman good 6
Michael Appel good 8
Gordon Lee average 26
Shane Phillips adequate 29

Simon Burgess solid 1
Adam Ferry excellent 1
Jason Hughes excellent 5
Tom Fanning very good 6
Scott Sutton solid 6

These are my next five comming through.

David Fahey good 1
Dwayne McLoughlin average 5
Graham Kurz adequate 5
David Dull solid 5
David Hudson solid 6
Paddy Burns adequate 8
Alex Haniotis weak 9
Ian Dykes excellent 10
Ben Kerley poor 14
Liam Dillon unsatisfactory 14
Andy Watkinson average 15
Aidan Shanahan weak 15
Colin Cahill adequate 16
Jim Truman good 16
Alan Holohan adequate 20
Gareth Hewitt adequate 23
Johnny Dean weak 27
David Rogers tragic 30
Eddie Farragher adequate 32

These are all mine after the recent culling :)

The guys in bold are decent prospects talentwise

shouldn't u cull the guys below average too?

not saying just asking seen as this is what i thought was teh best thing to do after chatting with people.

no point culling more than 4 a week.

If anyone has any decent midfield prospects and are willing to sell them lemme know.

I've set up my training system to hopefully lean towards passing n playmaking.

Adam Ferry, age 20
value: 55 000 €, wage: 875 €
very good form


unsatisfactory stamina,
average pace,
good technique,
adequate passing,
tragic keeper
good defender
hopeless playmaker
poor striker

With the name Ferry, he had to be a defender :)

OK i've FINALLY got to grips with setting up my youth system.
We've almost got a U-21 team now, i just need to get some stats on the players.
I just want to remind anyone posting their youth teams that i'm only going up til the end of the season which i why i'm only taking down players with 11 weeks or under til they're ready.
We've pulled 19 youths so far this season and at the moment 5 or 6 of them are in the provisional youth team. By the end of the season we should be set.

Yesterday we should have had

Simon Burgess Solid 5
Adam Ferry Good 5
Brendan Brumpton Very Good 5
David Fahey Good 5

Obviously Brumpton is the main one i'm interested in.

I'm still waiting for the youth teams of...

3. (Prem) Drunken Wanderers (Gordok)
4. (Prem) Cremartin (Gyro)
6. (Prem) Everestonians (Everest)
8. (Prem) Best of the West (Herreodin)
9. (Div1:1) Lahinch (Patrick)
13.(Div1:2) The Knockyheads (Andamatt)

Fahey wasn't great,

19 year old. I'm training his playmaking.

I'll let ya know if he's ever any good

I sacked burgees.

Ferry was 'excellent' when he got pulled
