Requisite "did I get a good deal?"

Training Playmaking, I got him for 2K:

Shu Min (12385073)
19 years, passable form, healthy

A pleasant guy who is balanced and righteous.
Has disastrous experience and disastrous leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 18 000 US$
Wage: 580 US$/week
Owner: crazy hamsters
Warnings: 0

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

I think if I keep him til the offseason, and train stamina then, while training PM til then, I could make some good money on him.

You can find guys just as good that are 17 for 1000k or even 2000k.

BillyMadison · 06-03-2003, 08:51 PM

Ow PASSABLE... Nevermind. Good job.

Qwikshot · 06-03-2003, 09:34 PM

He's a good grab for 2k, train him to solid and sell him as his secondary skills will not help you, but someone would buy him...good job.

FrogMan · 06-03-2003, 09:38 PM

Just as qwik said. Train him to solid, do a little stamina in the offseason, sell him at the beginning of next season. Price him a little high when you do sell him. You almost certain to get a newbie to bite on a solid 20 y.o. playmaker. Even if he doesn't sell the first time you put him on the market, just drop the price a little and try him again. It's better to have a newb place a high bid on him than see him go for lower than you'd like...

Good luck!

But once again something that might hold him back is the wretched passing. I train PM, but dont really know what I'm talkng about, but from what I gather it's kinda recommended to stay away from guys with passing in the dis/wretched zone.

Airhog · 06-03-2003, 10:01 PM

Its gonna take this guy a feel 8 weeks with a solid coach to train upto solid. He is at the low end of the barrel, add another week because he will age before he bumps. Not a bad buy, but your better off with a kid thats 17 or 18 and spending 10-15k

Havok · 06-03-2003, 10:02 PM

its all about stamina..... you can find passable/passable/passable middy's for dirt cheap if they have crappy stamina.

Noone feels like training stamina, espically since if kills your form so bad

Re-sell him right now.

Put him on the market at $10K. I sold a 19 passable playmaker (no secondaries also) for 17.500 3 weeks ago

I was thinking about that, but I have exactly 10 players worth training in playmaking (at least inadequate and all 17-19), so each can get a game a week in a 3-5-2. Just got to remeber not to play any outside the midfield after their 1st game.

Easy Mac · 06-04-2003, 11:21 AM

Bought this guy for 8K, yay or nay?

I think you can never have too many young, passable forwards. Perhaps I'll train that next year, I have 4, 2 for each game.

Bee · 06-04-2003, 11:25 AM

That's about the right price for a passable scorer with weak passing. If you're training scoring could be a profitable buy IMO.
