Subject: Youths

Brilliant - best I can realistically afford at the moment.

I've got juniors coming out next 4 weeks too, an 18yo currently at formidable next Thursday so hopefully something relatively promising with him. A 16yo GK in 3 weeks time as well, but annoyingly dropped to average today. To be honest with him I'm hoping that he doesn't have too much in keeper stats so he could possibly be retrained outfield at that age.

well the good news is it could be higher than you think - his stats aren't bad for a 17 yo, sometimes you can tell by higher wages if a player is talented, but he seems about average.

best case scenario it's around 4, which is better than a 4.6 for sure.

Going to sell both on - Rigden’s positional stats are a shame but hoping that his good pace means that someone will take a punt regardless!

Any idea on talent for either?

SK Tables seems to have gone a bit odd after the pause, it looks like it's cut their training tracking off for the last 2 weeks. I can try and work it out though on one of the other websites.

Trotter only came into my academy 2 weeks ago so a rapid turnaround for him so no confirmed talent for him. Rigden is a 3 > 6 talent though so not super talented but at 16 there's plenty of time.

Came out as an excellent keeper, not exactly thrilled. Spent too much time growing up watching Ederson with that distribution.

He'll get there quickly enough but might not be able to do much with it!

Lol, yeah seems about right!

If he'd come out a few weeks earlier I definitely would have trained him...
