Misfitz best ever youth pull.... if only he was 17!!!!!!!!!!

Only notable pull for the chunks in a little while, and immediately moves into a starting wing-back role.

I now his value isn't insanely high for a double solid dude, but he made my day. Will go on the market tomorrow as I don't train defense and I should be able to get more money from this 17 year old to maybe shop for a older, more experienced solid defender for cheaper.

Question to all defender trainers out there: what's the going rate for a player like that, this late in the season?

Not that bad of a pull. He stays for now.

[FrogMan]

Still nobody has any idea at what price I should start him?

I know I could start him low and let the market take care of it, but I hate selling for less than fair value and I usually like starting my players a bit high. I draw a blank on this kind of 17yo player...

Anybody?

I have no idea, so I looked at the transfer market and saw a similar player (in sweden) :

I'd say you should list him near his value

[FrogMan]

yeah, but that player is 19yo, there should be a premium on my player because even though we're getting late in the season, he still is a 17yo, that's the factor I have a hard time figuring...

Thanks Breizh!

List him for like 250k... Im sure he will go much higher. I'd say you'll probally get at least 350k.

[NAIWF]

Havoc's judgment sounds about right FM. If he didn't have the nasty/tempermental bit, I'd put a bid on him, but I already have 2 headhunters on the back line as it is and I can't afford a loss of a level of TS either ;)

[mckerney]

I'm not sure if I'd trust Havok's judgement here. Sure he's been playing hattrick a while, but what the hell does he know about good youth pulls?

too bad about that stamina, or the fact that he is almost no longer a teenager. Now I just need to try and figure if he is close to popping in playmaking (I'm guessing no, I will spend some time on the transfer market this afternoon and try and figure it out).

Thanks Havok. That's about what I had in mind, 250-300k. FWIW, HAM's transfer market evaluation tool says 986k C$ or 493k UC$, I find this kind of high, but wouldn't mind it one bit :)

I'll probably put him on the market around 1 or 2 pm eastern today, most probably starting him at 250 or 275k...

FM

[FrogMan]

just to had to this possible price discussion for my youngster, I asked the question in the Canadian conference, in the youth pull thread and a div II Canadian defense trainer said at a rough guess, 1.2 to 1.5 million C$, that would be 600k to 750k US$ :eek:

I've got my doubts, but I'll take whatever will come around :)

Hell it wouldn't surprise me if ya got 650k..... that is 1 badass youth pull

[FrogMan]

I asked the guy who mentionned that price range if he was serious and he said he bought a very similar player 2 seasons ago and then plaid 1.5 mil C$ (750k U$)... Not getting my hopes up too much, I put Stuart on the market a few minutes ago with a starting price of 275k. Now it's wait and see :)

I would say his market value is atleast $350k(probably a lot more), since I just sold my formidable defender and am looking for another trainiee- I would really like to buy this player.

[bigjdotcom01]

My excellent youth squad produced a "fast food" employee. He is listed for $1K, hopefully some n00b will nibble.

Doug, he's on the market in Canada. Starting price is 275k and there's already been a bid, by the current Canadian U20 coach :)

...

And as I type this, I see you have raised for him, thanks and good luck.

On IRC (#htcanada) yesterday, some people were saying he may go up to possibly 600k to 750k. One (me at least) can only hope :)

well $600k seems a little to high for me, but I have a solid / solid (about to bump to excellent wingback) with very similar secondaries with a value of only $96k so I kinda think this player is a high defending (or winger)... In a few seasons he could be a great Solid / Outstanding wingback hopefully for me....

edit: I just noticed his bidding ends at 11:55 central time on wednesday, I have a test at 12....it will be close, but hopefully I can get him (might have to run to class and show up a few minutes late, yeah I know I am addicted to HT :p )

[FrogMan]

the Canadian U20 coach is Fighting Monks and he just raised your 300k to 425k, WOOHOO!!!!

I don't know if he's online during the day though, good luck anyway!

FM

[Doug5984]

I upped it to $450, hopefully that will help drive off buyers who may only slightly be interested and help me get a better deal...I won't be upping the price anymore until the bidding ends, I can't spend all my money on one player especially since I need help on offense

[FrogMan]

I understand that. You may also be caught in a very tough fight with that Canadian manager. I don't know how much you have in the bank, but he's in div II in Canada and has been playing since April 2002 so he most probably knows what he's doing.

FM

[FrogMan]

huh, Doug, I think the Fighting Monks want to get tough. They just raised the bid to 600k... Sorry for you, happy, happy for me :)

well that is great news for you, I was pretty sure sicne he is in Div II that he def. has the money and the knowledge to get this player at market value (even higher if he watned to)...but I still had an outside shot, oh well time for me to go shopping for a excellent forward now.
