First good youthpull!

[Kingreno]

I have been investing 10k for one season and finaly got someone worthy of not firing:

Adriaan Dalhuizen (34775447)

Career Goals: 0

Cup goals this season: 0

It restores my fate in the system a bit and I want to invest 20k now as soon as I can manage it!

So what do the others here think of the youthsquad?

[Shabbaman]

Nice :)

[Cruise]

It's an ok YP!

I invested 20k from the moment i started and it's on excellent now. I have to keep it @ 20k in order to maintain that level.
With 10k you can't get past solid. It takes like 16 weeks to get from solid to excellent.

[English_brit]

Not a bad pull [yeah]. Shame he's not a solid playmaker instead though.

[Bootstoots]

I just pulled a 17 year old solid keeper! I'm going to train him and sell my passable 20 year old trainee.

[English_brit]

Bit of a result Boots. :)

[Bootstoots]

Pulled a 19 year old solid playmaker this week, he just sold for almost $400,000 US!

[Shabbaman]

Now, I could need something like that...

[English_brit]

lol Same here.

[Shabbaman]

Best one so far:

[English_brit]

Shame you won't get much money for him. :(

[Shabbaman]

Yeah, it's a real pity. I could've used the money... but I can use him as a winger or wingback back up. After several weeks of drafting utter crap this is a relieve.

[English_brit]

I like the youth squad. Invested the max in it as soon as I could and I'm almost on excellent. Already pulled a few good players from it that I've either sold or trained.

I find the best way to think about the youth system is expect to pull crap each week. Most weeks you do but then just when you've almost lost faith in it I always tend to pull a decent player.

I think I've been fairly luck in my pulls but I wouldn't expect to pull many decent players till you get to excellent level and even then only occasionally. Imo it definately pays for itself over the course of a season in sellable players or kept trainees.

[Shabbaman]

I got this one last sunday, and due to some injuries and suspensions I could use him immediately:

I listed him for transfer, since I really need cash. Since he's young someone might be tempted to buy him.

[English_brit]

Not a bad pull. :)

[Bootstoots]

That's pretty good. Hopefully he sells for a decent sum of money. After two lucky solid pulls, I had two inads that didn't sell (and are now at a golf course near you). ;)

[Shabbaman]

He got sold for 17 000 €. I had expected a bit more, but I'm not complaining.
I guess that for a real good trainee his playmaking is too low. Or it could have something to do with the poor performance of the transfer market server, and the limitation of the number of transfer searches one can do.
He got bought by a newbie, I sure hope he's going to train him but I doubt it.
I've been investing 20k for 9 weeks now, I can't wait till it rises to excellent. I sure could use more of these pulls (especially those 17 y.o. with solid scoring, since I need more trainees).

[yndy]

Two of my trainees are from my own school, good pulls sure help you save money purchasing trainees. My school is also close to excellent but no fabulous players so far. On of my Romanian friends got very lucky pulls last week. Solid defender with some passing sold for 1.2 million €.

My wife also got a youngster she sold for 700k €. Their school is also solid waiting to get excellent. I'm patiently waiting my turn and so should you.

One player sold for

[Shabbaman]

Pity, the stats are just a bit off:

[Bootstoots]

My YS became excellent this week, and I pulled a solid 18 year old winger with horrible secondaries. I listed him for more than he'll probably get, but if he doesn't sell I might try playing him myself.

[Shabbaman]

I sold the guy and my TS drops, sucks big time. Only got 10k for him as well...

[Shabbaman]

This makes up for yesterdays disaster:

[Shabbaman]

Ooh, that's really nice! It looks like a good reason to train midfielders...

[Dell19]

At the moment my youth team is on solid so I think I must have been quite lucky... Not sure what to do about the club's finances as we have gradually gone into debt, not helped b the fact that I couldn't arrange any friendlie for a couple of weeks.

[Shabbaman]

How much debt?

[Dell19]

Cash funds: -61 557 £ (-85 818) £

I'm not sure whether to sack a couple of unneccesary players or to see if they might actually get sold. Also I've been doing the maximum youth investment so I'm thinking of reducing it to the middle level.

[Shabbaman]

Listing players cost money. You could post a list of your players if you'd like a opinion on them. Reducing youth investment would be a waste imo, since it'd immediately drop a level.

[Dell19]

Moved. (http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1912)

[Shabbaman]

The player I drafted last week has moved up to EXCELLENT scoring after one week of training!!!
What should I do with him?

[ProPain]

SELL HIM!

[Shabbaman]

Sell him now? With a bottom price?

[Shabbaman]

I sold him for 290k. Not bad. I'm out of debt now, and I'm going to keep it that way (since the interest was getting annoyingly high), and look for a new trainee. I'm als looking for a new defender.

Talking about defenders... Frank Bevers, the guy I drafted two weeks back, got sold for 150k last sunday. I had sold him for 10k the week before... He got to passable after one training. Oh well...

This weeks YP was really utter crap.

At first I only saw the passable scoring and the weak passing. A nice trainee, but nothing special. But then I saw the passable playmaking, plus the inadequate winger. Not that bad. Not super either. I think I'll put him on the list.

[yndy]

Here’s my truly first good youngster, drawn in the first week of the new season, he is on the long list for the national team of Romania and can get there if he is trained properly (winger, playmaker or a combination of the two).

[Kingreno]

Oh my god, that must be one of the best I have ever seen Indy!!

So what are you going to do with the money?

[ProPain]

Amazing pull Yndy!

I got a 19 year old solid playmaker 2 weeks ago (of course the bastard is 20 now), but this week I got total crap again.

[yndy]

Amazingly it was sold for 1.7 million Euro!

Since I don't want to promote this season and my trainees are as good as I need, I will not do anything for now (maybe hire some economists) but I will keep an eye out for cheap midfielders or even cheap young forwards.

[Cruise]

Why not sell your oldest trainee and get a youngster instead? With 1.7M yu can buy an 18yr old formi/outstanding!
Having the money sitting there is a waste. In 6 weeks that trainee will be worth 600k more! Economists can't do that.

[yndy]

All my trainees will be worth 600k more although it will take 8-9 weeks for the older ones.

On one side I really want to be able to take advantage of cheap buys if I spot them and on the other I'm considering switching training all together in 1.5 seasons so no use in replacing my old folks with younger ones.

Thirdly I'm afraid that prices will drop AGAIN at the middle of the season. All the players that I have bought last season are now cheaper.

[ProPain]

I'm worried about the hattrick economic system. To me it appears prices are dropping rapidly. Just look at Kemal's solid forwards.

I think quick training programms are most secure nowadays.

Certainly a very welcome YP! he scores 6,38 in the keeper tool, good enough for me and only 17 years old. Not sure if I'll keep him or sell him. My guess is 125K-150K should be possible.

[Kemal]

Great pull pp, congrats!

He should most certainly do over 125K I think, unless you are starting your goaltending training program about now, I'd sell him.

[ProPain]

I;m still in doubt when to start. I'll have to study when my last to excellent wingers gained a level and see if it's worth while to train them to outstanding.

After that I'll switch, but maybe I'll sell Toni anyway and start the training program with high solid keepers if I can afford that.

Once a youth academy reaches excellent do you have to keep the maximum funding level to stay at excellent or is it possible to then reduce the funding level whilst still staying at excellent?

Nope, it will only remain excellent if you invest 20k. less will bring it down in no time, and requires a new full season of 20k to become excellent again.

Thanks, will keep full funding then.

How good is Pirates 2 btw? Marks out of 100?

Well, a nice clown apparently. I have one already but this is even better.

This is the current captain

Dave Fugate (39335049)
26 years, passable form
A sympathetic guy who is fiery and honest.
Has weak experience and solid leadership abilities.

So, which one is better?

[English_brit]

Agreeability

beloved team member
popular guy
sympathetic guy
pleasant guy
controversial person
nasty fellow

Therefore the sympathetic one.

A popular guy with solid leadership is a "real" clown and a sympathetic one with solid leadership is a half clown.

[akots]

So, this means I can keep both? What's the difference between half-clown and real clown?

[Shabbaman]

Sure you can keep both, but you have only 1 team leader. Since the new guy sucks you could just as well get rid of him.

[Kemal]

Better not keep both I think, the team will only have one clown in action at a given time, that being the one with the strongest leadership, and it is impossible to tell which of your two players has the highest solid leadership of the two.

The better the clown's agreeability, the more help he is in keeping the TS up I suppose, so I'd suggest you keep your sympathetic one for now, until perhaps someday a popular solid guy becomes available.

Btw, my youthpull was a pleasant/solid guy as well, and brought back memories from my first ever pull, he was that bad:

What about a pleasant guy with solid leadership?

[Kemal]

I suppose on average he'd have no effect, since "pleasant" is precisely between the positive and negative agreeabilities, maybe that means an agreeability of (on average) 0.

But, I've got no data whatsoever to support my conclusions, so this could be total nonsense of course. :)

[yndy]

I have a half clown since a long time but didn’t really see the benefit over the team. I also guess the pleasant/solid player would have no effect over the team spirit.

It’s my third week of trying to replace my original keeper (now substitute) with a new one from the youth pool. This time I succeeded.

I pulled a poor keeper, but that was after four consecutive passable-solid youth pulls, so I'm still impressed with my YS.
