Now on the transfer list, he’s the only standout talent amongst the bots this year but certainly looks trainable so I added him to the U21s.

17 teams interested in him!

i have a space but not in my plans to what he needs, maybe. Has the potential to be a good CM, getting pace and tech to 10 this season is possible, then would need a good season of PM training imo. not sure if i'll be switching to PM this or next season so we'll see.

Playing pool. Unlikely to get him.

Wow, he is going for a lot!

Shame the money goes to a bot...

Didn't realise was a bot.

think 600k seems fair

i had around 500k in my head, but also forgot it ended last night lmao

I’d give my arms for 600k to invest atm if I’d sold him! Certainly one to keep an eye on

Same here! He didn't even look that good to me.... shows i have plenty to learn about assessing trainees.

At that age it's all about the sum of the skills, that will be active for the player.
Which this mid having 30 at 18, week 2 is pretty good. Pace is always valued higher as it trains slowest.

At the same time a Scottish 17yo mid was selling with 28 sum. Went for nearly £5m. Had average pace. If had excellent pace. That price could have been. £10m+

That player is in the top bracket for youths. Better than any youth I've produced.

16 year: 22 points
17 year: 29 points
18 year: 37 points

was the old sums before advanced, so with side pops he would easily get to 37 sum by the next age update.

Are these sums excluding stamina and keeper?

Also, i guess these are the totals you want by the last week of the season?

it is for outfield players minus keeper and stamina yes, the points would be for by the end of the season of that age, so if they are 18 turning 19, with anywhere 35-37+ points, that's a very good player. but even with talent they may not reach their max potential which is fine. better talent should mean more side pops, more points etc.

After a 0-0 draw with North Macedonia last week that was a lot of crossing unable to find a man, I rejigged things a little for South Korea this week. Set us up in a diamond as their formation is narrow, didn’t want to make it too wide to isolate players but probably could’ve dialled it up a little more!

We were the better side from watching it, our ranking suggested we would be but we created more openings and worked a penalty and a second goal after their equaliser to win it. Should’ve gone 2-0 up a few minutes before their equaliser but all in all a win on the board and no injuries so happy enough. A few further tweaks to take forward to next week with Ecuador U21 before we play a few U20 friendlies which will test the squad depth and give a look ahead to next season.

Does anyone have a GK coming through their academy? At the moment going through the squad and picking through the transfer histories for Asistente, we don't have any keepers younger than 21. I've got a 17yo and 18yo keeper coming through this season but only at adequate and good respectively.

Edit: We've got Jay Jay's 18yo actually as a correction but nobody beyond adequate.
