Cason is almost ready for his first futures tournament under my management, but we also got a new group of youth players generated. The ones I saw at least had a few 'not bad, but flawed' options available. Can't beat the price of free when the young players are created, however.

I settled on Yaroslav Abramov of Russia. A very early joiner to the tour at 14y 11w, he grades out as follows:

** 95% Aging Factor
** 4.6 Talent
** 2.6 Endurance*
** 3.6 Strength
** 3.3 Speed
** 2.6 Mentality

* Turns out that rounding had me a little on the pessimistic side here. Looks like Endurance will come out at 2.7 or 2.8

Naturally I'll be keeping my eyes open for someone better, but Abramov is 'Mr. Right Now' for the moment. Checks all the boxes for a world-class player except for the middling endurance. It could be fun to quantify a bit just exactly how much that will hold him back if I don't get a better option in the next game year or two to replace him.
