Another Youth Pull Day

[Superman=#54]

It seems I have no luck when it comes to youth pull day. This will be the third time I will make a youth pull with my youth squad at solid. My last three pulls have been absolute crap. One weak keeper and two outfielders worth about $5,000, COMBINED!!! Hopefully the frustration of the Youth Pull will end today. If anyone knows a "lucky' way to make a youth pull please tell. ;)

[GoldenEagle]

All I know is that I am due.

[Coffee Warlord]

You and me both. I haven't had a decent pull since the lottery.

[illinifan999]

I could use another solid pull from my club today. ;) :D

[sony]

I will be pulling a Solid Keeper today.


Uhhh.... I think I will... :P

[Havok]

10 pulls for me.... 9 fired, 1 sold for 1,000

[AccardoOutfit29]

I could use a good one today, to help me get out of that pesky debt.

[bbor]

I havent had a good pull..since....uhhhhh.......last night...i guess i am a kleenex type of guy :)

[The Afoci]

My last 3 have been all keepers, 18 passable, 17 y/o inad, 20 y/o passable. I am not sure whether or not to keep going keeper or not. I do need some depth in the outfield definately. My squad is solid for the 2nd week, what do you guys suggest?

[dacman]

My last pull sold for $230,000 so I'm due for the ol' pile of pooh pull.

[NAIWF]

Piles of poo have been my specialty. However, according to the "birthday pull being better" theory, I'm due for a decent one tonight. HT kinda owes me one after pretty much robbing me (statwise I was superior but got 2 L's and 1D) in 3 of my last 5 matches.

[Vince]

Well, I've had my team for 10 weeks now, and I haven't had a single good youth pull. At $20,000 a week and $1,000 to pull a player, that's $210,000 I've sunk into my youth squad without a cent of return. I could use a good pull.

[-Panther]

$2000 to pull a player :p

[Vince]

Thanks, making me feel even better :)

I believe it's $1K to pull a player but most assume $2K because it costs another $1K to list him (free, if he's craptastic enough just to fire).

SI

[illinifan999]

No it is 2k. I've only listed two pulls before. All the other times it tells me I paid 2k to pull a player.

[-Panther]

I want to open an account at your bank. mine charges me 2k to
pull a 'vendor for the nose-bleed section'

[damnMikeBrown]

Any guesses on how long the delay will be to make get your lottery ticket today? It was what, 90 minutes last week? 2 hours the week before. . .

[illinifan999]

Economic updates happened. Hopefully not too long for youth pull.

[illinifan999]

My sponsors added another thousand to my weekly income. Thanks guys. :D

He's not going to get Tom Sanders money, but I figure you might be able to get something like $100K. Just a guess, tho. I really have no idea. He's a 17yo passable but he does have that unpredictable that makes him worth less as a defender.

Dude, don't sacrifice your little brother for a HT youth pull. Keep him to get that girl to call you back :D

And now, you can tell your friend David that he has a "wretched" ability for scoring :D

How long does a YS stay at inad? this was my 3rd week...

with the quality of my youth pulls so far, all 6 of them, I'm waiting
for HT to really stick it to me and give my next guy a weak or lower
form. after all, it's the only thing that's got any value in my current

wow, an actual almost player. my quick take is that this guy might almost be a passable defender, but I'm training playmaking. Why it seems "normal" to just list him, I do have a B-team winger position that I could fill with this guy, and train him at half speed for playmaking.

So, for those of you that have actually had decent youth pulls for a while, what do you think I could get for this guy? If it's only 10K or so, I might just as well keep him I would think.

Anyone?

From my notes, mine stayed at inadequate and then at passable exactly 4 weeks for each level. Now in my second week at solid.

Weekly updates have not even started here in Canada... :(

[-Panther]

well if that's true, I should get to passable next week then...
who knows, I might actually get a player capable of kicking a ball.

but, with my luck, I won't see even my first inad till I hit excellent YS.
If it involves chance, rest assured I won't get anything of value... :p

I don't know if you train winger or how long it takes for an 18 year old to train but a winger with solid passing can be pretty decent.

Admittedly to get to passable from weak, it'd take about 2 seasons. But at least the glass isn't completely empty. :)

Damn, now I've seen everything. You might want to email GM-Idigum -- he's someone the nat team coaches will want to track. Please do try to sell him to a keeper trainer.

[sterlingice]

yeah, Superman=#54, you hit the youth lottery. If you sell, I'd be curious to see what he fetches. Also, I do agree, sell him and you can buy a solid older goalie for half the cash (or an even lower percent) you get for him and use the rest to build elsewhere.

If you do, I'm sure I'll catch it in your dynasty report and we can all share a day being jealous of you ;)

I dislikes you :) but certainly a big ol' major significant congratulation, Supe. Good luck with the money you get back. :)

Thank You, Thank You. I do admit it was one hell of a great pick. :) The bidding ends Monday 8:00 pm central time. Currently their on no bids on him, but I will be shure to update his bid status once I get a bid. :)

Go advertise him in the conferences with a subject of something like 17yo Solid Keeper- that will get the bids going.

DEFINITELY make an effort to make a post in conference like SI said. Hopefully that'll get some actions on his auction.
