? About best 17 yo defender in USA DV

[NAIWF]

Since things have been tough for me the last few weeks in HT, I took some pride in knowing that Rickie O'Connor is the highest rated 17 yo defensive player out of the 2048 teams in the division :D He was the only 4* rated defender according to Hatstats, so I'm thinking he's progressing nicely. If you'll remember Rickie was the 2nd straight 17 yo solid I started the season with :p

While he's not the best player in my series, it will be nice having a 17 yo formidable player either this Thursday or next.

Is there ANY shot that this guy would ever make the USA U-20 or was he just "born" in the wrong year?

wrong year for U-20 bro.... but if you train him long enough he could make the USA national team one day!!!

No chance...he's competiting against the 18 YO's, who are all probably at least outstanding at this point.

Still, he's nice to have around, I'm sure. :)

yeah born the wrong year, I have a 17 year old formidable defender with passable winger.

but hey, I'm selling one of those 18 year old Oustanding defenders this week. Snag him up! :p
