Not saying that I'm confirmed with all these players, I'll still be assessing them but I'm backing most of them. ~65% of them are aged 17/18. 6 of these 15 players will be coming out in the first 7 weeks.

Sacked all my new juniors in the past 2 weeks since all of them were atrocious. On the bright side, I'm getting better at filtering the good from the bad.

Tri-weekly JS update:

Just a teensy bit improvement in the overall level of my JS. Earlier, average level was adequate, now it's good.

2 juniors will be coming out next week.

Average of good with 24 players is amazing.
Mine is currently adequate.

But you also have to take into consideration the average age.
Currently all my juniors are either 16 or 17 yrs. I have only 1 18 & 1 19 yr old.

Currently all my juniors are either 16 or 17 yrs. I have only 1 18 & 1 19 yr old.

I know the std formula i.e skill level * 3 (+-4) but I'm still going ahead with some of the oldies because I just want to see how the skill distribution comes out. Maybe in the next round, I might not even considering keeping some of the juniors who look similar to the ones I have (of course the older ones).

Makarand from your JS is turning out to be a beast:)

Boom! Average level of JS is solid now!

In next 2 weeks, 4 juniors will be coming out (2 from my JS and 2 from Hoodibaba's). 3 will be 18 y and 1 will be 17yo. Of those 3 18y's, two might be very good's and 1 might be excellent or above. We just need the correct skill distribution now.

Arun Govind(18) 1 Lagends FC ~very good
Raghuvir Ranjana(18) 1 Pune FC ~very good
Hardip Purushottam(17) 2 Pune FC ~solid
Ajayan Makarand(18) 2 Lagends FC ~excellent

Good luck with the pulls, hope they are distributed nicely.

My youth school is lack now after a decent little patch.

It happens sometimes. There was a period in between where I didn't retain even 1 new junior pull for 3 weeks in succession.

Ah, Govind and Makarand look better than I predicted. Nice :)
