Now, let’s look at my major youth prospects one year later.


And we have to begin with Rodrigues. Holy crap!

Here he is in August 2017


Physical – 18, 14, 16, 12, 18, 17, 16, 13
Mental – 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 13, 13, 13, 13, 11, 12, 13, 10, 15
Tech – 6, 12, 16, 7, 14, 4, 13, 11, 14, 12, 12, 10, 16, 14


And now, today in July 2018


Physical – 19, 15, 17, 12, 19, 18, 16, 14
Mental – 11, 13, 11, 12, 12, 14, 14, 13, 13, 12, 12, 15, 11, 15
Technical – 6, 12, 16, 8, 14, 4, 13, 12, 15, 13, 12, 10, 16, 14

Dang! He is the fastest mother you see on the pitch. No one is as fast as him. I currently have his asking price at an unbelievable 60 mill, and there are still 3 clubs chasing him – Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool. At the age of 19, this child of Funchal, Madeira, is the 2nd best current player for Portugal, and 11 caps to his name. Like Ronaldo, both came through our ranks, and both are from this city. He is the studliest of all studs. I have never gotten a wonderkid to grow this quickly this well. He is my crowning achievement. Joao Luis Rodrigues. His majesty.


And our first one!


Hernani Costa


Here he was last year, this time:

Physical – 13, 14, 13, 15, 9, 13, 14, 16
Mental – 3, 13, 10, 13, 14, 11, 13, 7,6, 9, 8, 14, 15, 16
Tech – 7, 6, 10, 6, 13, 6, 13, 7, 5, 17, 12, 9, 14, 9


And today, July 2018


Phys – 13, 16, 13, 15, 10, 14, 16, 16

Mental – 3, 14, 10, 13, 14, 12, 14, 18, 7, 11, 10, 16, 15, 16

Tech – 8, 7, 11, 7, 13, 7, 14, 8, 6, 18, 12, 9, 14, 9

Good news and bad news. Is the 20 year old still improving? Sure! But he’s beginning to hit that plateau, you can tell, because they are starting to slow down. Those technical stats are very similar to the ones before. Nevertheless, he has been capped at 8 times, and is the second best DC for Portugal, and has room for growth and Tottenham and Liverpool are chasing him.


Canela?

Here he was last year:

Physical – 16, 14, 12, 11, 16, 16, 13, 15 -

Mental – 9, 14, 7, 8, 9, 7, 11, 17, 9, 12, 6, 15, 12, 14 –

Technical – 8, 12, 9, 9, 14, 9, 15, 14, 12, 13, 16, 3, 18, 10 –


And now, July, 2018


Phys – 16, 14, 12, 11, 16, 17, 14, 16
Mental – 9, 15, 7, 10, 10, 8, 12, 17, 10, 13, 7, 16, 12, 14
Tech – 7, 13, 10, 14, 9, 15, 14, 12, 14, 16, 3, 18, 10

So some improvement, which is great. He’s being tutored by Lansbury, and we think they are a similar type of player, so that should prove fruitful. Not as much improvement as I hoped for, but he’s still getting better.


Get ready Ruiz it out!

Last year:

Phys – 10, 13, 15, 15, 13, 9, 11, 17, (5)
Mental – 9, 13, 9, 13, 13, 3, 14, 17, 1, 14, 13, 11, 15
GK – 15, 16, 15, 8, 7, 10, 15, 14, 15, 1, 16, 8, 9, 12


And now, July, 2018

Phys - 11, 14, 16, 15, 13, 9, 11, 17
Ment – 9, 14, 10, 13, 13, 3, 14, 17, 1, 15, 1, 14, 12, 15
Tech – 15, 17, 16, 8, 7, 10, 16, 14, 17, 1, 16, 8, 9, 14

I was working on his throwing this year in training. It went from 12 to 14. Even at 24 dude is getting better (GKs often do)


Ready to Rock this?

Andreas Rocker


Last year

Physical – 15, 13, 12, 12, 10, 15, 16, 15
Mental – 9, 15, 9, 16, 11, 10, 13, 18, 10, 12, 17, 10, 10, 14.

I forgot to jot down his technical, but he had a 17 finishign and some other fun stuff.


Rocker, July, 2018

Phys – 15, 15, 13, 13, 10, 16, 17, 16
Mental – 9, 16, 9, 17, 13, 12, 13, 18, 11, 13, 18, 12, 11, 14
Tech – 13, 12, 16, 19, 14, 11, 14, 13, 7, 9, 15, 12, 9, 14

That’s nasty.




One more…

Pflugler last year:

Physical -12, 12, 13, 7, 13, 15, 13, 13
Mental – 14, 12, 10, 13, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 8, 17, 16
Technical – 9, 10, 13, 11, 14, 10, 9, 14, 9, 9, 14, 10, 9, 14


And now today, 2018 July

Phys – 13, 14, 14, 7, 14, 16, 14, 14
Mental – 14, 13, 10, 14, 13, 14, 13, 12, 13, 13, 13, 9, 17, 16
Technical – 11, 10, 14, 12, 15, 10, 10, 15, 10, 11, 14, 11, 10, 15

Not bad improvement across the board. But as suspected, not ready to really be my AMC guy. So that’s why I signed my stud.
