Weekly youth pull thread

Haven't seen one around, so here goes.

Let's start things off with a bang ! with my 1st ever solid PM youth pull ! And solid winger too ! OK passing and stamina need working, and he's unfortunately a bit old, but still can't complain, can't complain...

Without further ado, here is Luc Brun.

HT Buddy estimates his selling price at $105 000. Sounds a bit low. Can you pm trainers out there confirm ?

dola - oh and for you haters out there, that is indeed my 2nd solid pull in a row... Last week was a 17yr old solid defender who sold for $460 000... My scout is really earning his pay check right now...

19 yrs old really hurt is value, but he is a nice winger prospect (i'd say a bit old for being a PM prospect)

Get some stamina on him, and he'll be a somewhat ok middie. A b-team player most definately, or I could sell.

Well. I can actually sell this guy. The keeper tool pegs him at one week from Inadequate. Is that unfortunate, or does the existence of the keeper tool mean (many) buyers will overlook that?

Considering that my starting middies are mostly solid PM with something else, I think this guy is going to stay, ESPECIALLY if I can sell Dixon and thus train stamina (I have 2 excellent PMs with weak stamina that is killing me for using them, this guy being #2). I can't complain.

FFF: I would never train your player in PM, rather: He is a winger trainee. $105,000 seems like a very good price to get for your player considering he is 19 and might not even pop before turning 20.

BishopMVP: Any player that will sell is worth listing--And your player can easily sell. I recently got Mother Club money for a player That I sold for $5,000.... $25,000 because he was trained up to be a formidable winger and sold for half a million. So anyways the point is: If they will sell, list them. No telling if you will get a newbie team who needs a cheap trainee to get started will bite or not.

This is the best player I can remember pulling this season so far! I had pretty much gaven up on the Youth Squad too heh. I'm just wondering what to list him as: He is a WB but I'm considering rather or not he'd get more attention being listed as a cd.

Ok, this is my 3rd player to have a girlie name. Gale, Joan, and now Jackie

I actually think im going to keep Jackie and train him (or her maybe?) to formidable. Im guessing he's a pretty high passable defender with his assessed value and lack of secondaries and I should have 2 training slots opening up next week when I sell some formidable defenders so he will fit in nice with my plans.

Taking VEX's advice, I put him up on the TL. Went up for 0 U$, got an early bid so he's 10k U$, sale ends at 17.53 HT time on 5.19.04.

Vince, sell him. Passable passing on IMs makes people go crazy with bids. I would not be suprised to see him go for over 100K (but don't expect it).

he'll make a nice defensive forward (oxymoron, here) and he should go for at least 408K... That's what my solid/inadequate 17yo went for in week 13 went for last season.

Now maybe it's just me, but FOFC has been having a youth pull hot streak as it seems like there have been a lot of solids or double passables floating around the past couple of weeks. I, myself, have gotten my third straight solid but I'm sure this streak will end as Kraftworks starts their YP contest next week.

Good idea... considering I play against a 5-3-2 counter attack, I should play mine as an offensive wingback today!

note: TK is already having a minor bidding war on the player. he's already up to 27-28 K.

I've bid on him but I can't afford what he'll likely go for since I just bought a solid keeper today.

Looks like the week of the Solid young forward:



Shane Rains (31461293)
17 years, passable form, healthy
A sympathetic guy who is calm and dishonest.
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 123 000 US$
Wage: 1 080 US$/week
Owner: Maulers
Warnings: 0


Stamina: weak Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: weak Passing: poor
Winger: inadequate Defending: poor
Scoring: solid Set Pieces: poor

I could use a second Solid forward, but with his age and OK Poor Passing, I think I'll sell the kid. Upgrading MF is my first priority, and I don't need new players to romp home undefeated this season.

Well. I can actually sell this guy. The keeper tool pegs him at one week from Inadequate. Is that unfortunate, or does the existence of the keeper tool mean (many) buyers will overlook that?


Smart buyers will know he's about to pop. Unfortunately, the market for these guys is noobs. (that could be good, though--LOL) The problem is that a low Inadequate can be had for 10K, so if your guy sells, he will barely cover the cost of the pull and the listing (3k).

But you're getting there. It took about 15 weeks of investment for me to sell a player for 5 figures, but this week's kid should bring 6 figures, so its worth the wait.

The reasonable thing to do with this guy is play him in the weekly friendly so you don't have a regular starter hurt, then click on "fire him"

And how exactly is he an OK guy ? His best skill is poor, he has a value of zero ! He just sucks, get rid of him. After your friendly as Alf suggests, or even right now if you already have enough players !

No offense, but I agree with has already been said by a few other guys, this guy is what I usually fire and consider an un-sellable pull. You might get lucky with some newbie paying like 2k or something, but hes not worth it.

Sold for $306K to a US division 6 team with a weak trainer who plays a 4-4-2. He's effectively dead now.

F'in newbies.

This sucks.

He ended up selling for $149,001 to a brand new Turkish guy who has run a 4-4-2 in both his league match and the friendly. I'm thinking I'm not getting anything more out of him, but $150k is better than I expected for a 19yo.

Without further ado, here is Luc Brun.

HT Buddy estimates his selling price at $105 000. Sounds a bit low. Can you pm trainers out there confirm ?



Sold today for 246000 € (or $) after a 3 way bidding war...Nice !
Went to a div 5 spanish team with a solid coach, plays a 3-5-2. Don't know what he trains though...
