Training Squad
 
Ok, so I'm training playmaking, and when I first got my team, I didn't realize how much more valuable a 17 yo was versus an 18-21 year old. So my first set of trainees are all from 20-22 now. At the end of last season I bought a bunch of 17 yo inadequates for cheap, and I don't really know what I was on, but I now have a glut of young IM potential trainees, and I want to know who I should keep and who I should cut. Here are my IMs and what they do as of now:

Code:

Player                        Stam        PM        Pass        Def        Age        Role
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casey Nava                Inad        Pass        Weak        Wret        19        Starter (Unpredictable)
Darryl Nettles                Exc        Pass        Inad        Wret        21        Starter
Jim Vandyke                Exc        Pass        Dis        Poor        27        Starter
Tuomo Heikkila                Exc        Pass        Poor        Wret        21        Recently Starting (Nettles injured)
Francesco Areggo        Pass        Inad        Weak        Poor        18        ???
Frank Bennebroek        Exc        Inad        Poor        Inad        18        ???
Milorad Ninkovic        Exc        Inad        Inad        Poor        21        ???
Max Hoyng                Exc        Inad        Wret        Wret        18        ??? (Inad Winger)
Paul-Arnaud Gadreault        Exc        Inad        Weak        Poor        18        ??? (Inad Winger)
Richard McNabb                Pass        Inad        Poor        Inad        18        ???
Lucas Turpin                Exc        Weak        Poor        Poor        20        Back-Up Winger (Passable Winger)


I think that I'll ditch Vandyke when Nettles comes back from injury and start Nettles-Heikkila-Nava (though Nava's unpredictability is killing me...he gave up a goal yesterday, and I lost 2-1). I want to keep Turpin until he gets to Inadequate PM, I think he'll sell for more as a winger that way. As for the rest...I don't know. I know Nettles is going to pop soon, and Nava has to be a high Passable (I've gotten back-to-back Solid midfields).

I think that I'll use Turpin and Gadreault as friendly/cup wingers, but then I still have 5 guys for 3 slots. Ninkovic has to be out because he's 21; but after that it gets sketchy. Hoyng's secondaries are terrible, but his Head specialty is nice, as is the Inadequate winger skill. Who to get rid of, McNabb, Hoyng, Areggo or Bennebroek?

Dola - Is anyone else surprised that that midfield (Nava-Vandyke-Heikkila) makes Solid?

My wingers -
Code:

Name                        Wing        Stam        PM        Pass
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Esteban Jose Pinilla        Pass        Exc        Inad        Inad                Got him for $25,000 :D
Tuncer Kuscu                Solid        Exc        Pass        Weak                He was a bit more expensive at $120,000


Edit - in the first solid midfield, they were both played Offensive. My squad was Normal at Paradise on Earth TS.

The Second Solid midfield, Pinilla was Offensive, Kuscu Towards Middle, but Kuscu got a Red Card 5 minutes into the second half.
