He's a bit of a bastard, but I'm hopeful that between him being 17, the new emphasis on wingers, and his Powerful skill that I'll net a bit of cash for him. Any thoughts on how much he'll go for?

Since I pulled a player awhile ago with similar stats but he was 19 and he sold for 612k, I think I'll start the bidding at 500k? Wise?

I pulled a solid keeper valued at 339,000 U$ only 4 weeks ago. Until now, he was the definite starter for my team, giving me 3 stars every game, and boosting my defense ratings up from passable accros the board to 2 solids and an excellent... I say he WAS the starter until I pulled this dude today...

I think the excellent bump is ~450K, so he's damn close. Very nice!

I have not read your dynasty in a while, so you are switching training huh? Will be interesting to see how it turns out, especially after a youth pull like this, wow!

Winger training during the cup, then defensive training for the rest of this season. Midfield training starting next season (probably on a 3 season cycle). I'll be buying a brand new midfield and trainees at the end of the season, and I like the idea of having an 18 year old excellent winger/passable midfielder already on hand. It's one less position I'll need to fill with the money I earn from selling off my defenders.

Edit becase I'm an idjit sometimes.

The Afoci 07-29-2003 01:17 PM

Very good idea DK.
