Another Youth Pull Day
 
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 05-10-2003 02:46 PM

All I know is that I am due.

Coffee Warlord 05-10-2003 02:59 PM

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

illinifan999 05-10-2003 03:02 PM

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

sony 05-10-2003 03:19 PM

I will be pulling a Solid Keeper today.


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

Havok 05-10-2003 03:20 PM

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

AccardoOutfit29 05-10-2003 03:26 PM

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

bbor 05-10-2003 03:32 PM

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

The Afoci 05-10-2003 03:36 PM

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 05-10-2003 03:37 PM

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

NAIWF 05-10-2003 04:09 PM

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 05-10-2003 04:48 PM

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 05-10-2003 05:30 PM

$2000 to pull a player :p

Vince 05-10-2003 06:02 PM

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 05-10-2003 06:15 PM

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 05-10-2003 06:19 PM

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

damnMikeBrown 05-10-2003 06:47 PM

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 05-10-2003 06:52 PM

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

illinifan999 05-10-2003 06:53 PM

Well I finally hit the jackpot. A 17 year old solid keeper. Finally my Solid youth squad pays off. His value was around 345,000. :)

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

He could be a defensive forward or an IM.

Woohoo 6 for 6 on totally useless pieces of chit wannabe soccer
players but destined to be nothing more than a warm pile of steaming shit!

And my 'no love from the HT gods' streak continues...

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
puke squad recruits :(

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?

interesting, he is also inadequate at scoring, I didn't realize this...I think I will list him for 20k and see if anyone bites....

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 05-10-2003 07:31 PM

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
