Hattrick Youth Pulls

[vex]

I figured that we could all post our youth pulls on FOFC from now on.

Mine was less than eventful, the ONLY thing he had going for him was that he was 17.


Youth Squad: Solid

Sean Aguilar
3 000 US$, 17 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities

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



Now hitting the fire button...

[illinifan999]

Leon Breaux (10782055)
19 years, passable form, healthy

A controversial person who is temperamental and upright.
Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities.

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

[PilotMan]

Currently I carry a 20yr old passable keeper as my starter and my reserve is a 22yo inadequate. Well look who showed up for practice this week:

Jose Ramon Bon
404 000 US$, 19 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities


Stamina: wretched Keeper: solid
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: wretched

My question is do I keep him? If I do which keeper do I get rid of? If I sell him I will be well out of debt. On the other hand if I train keepe for a bit he may jump to excellent then I would really be out of debt. What does everyone think.

Its nice to have to make these desicions isn't it?

Also just looked through my division, I will predict that I go undefeated. Yes, I know a bold statement, but considering my run last year and the demoted team is new and sucks there shouldn't be much problem winning them all. The only thing a solid keeper would do is be there when I get promoted, 'cause I'll need one then. Otherwise I think that I could get by with the passable that I have now.


edit:My youth squad is solid

Barf. 22 years old. I will put him up for sale anyways heh.

[vex]

Wow, nice grab Pilotman. Just too bad he's not 17. It's all according to how much you want to get out of debt. And if you think you can win your division with the passable Keeper, then I say sell the new guy.

[illinifan999]

Nice pull PilotMan! If you think you can go undefeated without a solid keeper, I would sell this guy, and then when you get promoted use the prize money to go out and get a solid keeper. And there is nothing better than getting of debt.

[HornedFrog Purple]

PilotMan you get the traditional:

You suck.

My first youth pull that had an excellant rating..wooohooo

[bbor]

Oh ya...i forgot to say...he'll be going on the transfer wire mid week.

Other than winger..he sucks.

[vex]

Wow, is this FOFCs first excellent pull?

[Rich1033]

Good idea, but how about you also tell us the status of your youth squad when you post. That would be helpful to me since I have never had a decent pull and Im at inad right now.

[vex]

That is a good idea. Now editing my post...

I have a question for Pilotman or whoever who has a Youth Squad that is at a solid rating. How long did it take your Youth Squad to get to solid?

My Youth Squad has been at passable for two weeks. Still having some crappy youth pulls. Sorry could not post as I fired this weeks youth pull before I read this thread.

[HeavyReign]

I saw in the conference that it takes 4 weeks of 20k spending to go from passable to solid. Not sure how accurate that is but the data has been correct for the other jumps.

[daedalus]

I don't have exact records but 4 weeks from passable to solid seems a bit short. I seem to remember it being longer.

[Nyarlahotep]

Actually, from what I have read it takes half of a season to go from passable to solid at 20k per week.

[GoldenEagle]

It takes a season to go from solid to excellent. Of course with my youth squad being weak, I guess that inadequate would be the next step.

[MylesKnight]

I'm right there with ya G.E. We are an eternity from even thinking about things like Passable, Solid & Excellent Youth Squads.. :D

Good Luck this Evening!! And Good Luck to all FOFC Hattrickers!! May we all dominate this day!!

Exactly. I would be thrilled to have passable as my youth squad. Oh well, maybe one day in the future of Golden Eagles FC.

[NYFAN]

I've been putting in 20k for a long time now, probably a season and a half in total, and it pays off. I have pulled up 3 goalies in about 10 or so weeks and 2 have been solid... i also regularly get some very solid outfielders as well...

[NevStar]

it took about a half season for me to get from wretched to passable.

I hear it takes another half season to get to solid, then a full season to get from solid to excellent.

oh, and my guy sucks.

[samifan24]

My youth pulls have been awful of late. I'm $250,000 in debt so I sold almost all my top notch players and left just the young, solid core (G and D) and now I am down to 15 players. I'm on total life support and if there was ever a time to pull an awesome pull, this would be it but no, I get crap. But no, I'm not bitter or anything. At least I have a new season to look forward to.

[The Afoci]

I am 400k in debt with nothing to sell other than my only good player, my goalie. It sucks, but I am winning somehow!

If it could make you feel better, you could be closer to passable than you think. I got my team on February 18, put the max on the youth squad right away (thanks evryone who urged me to do so :) ) and my youth squad jumped from inadequate to passable with this week's update. A little more than a month and a half...

[bbor]

I think it takes longer than a season to get your youth team to higher than solid...i've been playing 2 seasons and have maxed my youth team the whole time and they are still only solid.
