lol Meli.

I was just wondering. Atm I have two excellent strikers. I want to upgrade these with the money I make. Over the next week, taking in to account the sale of my pull, I should have around 1.1 million pounds to spend.

Am I better off buying two formidable strikers with worse passing or spending just over a million on a formidable striker with excellent passing?

Or am I better off buying one outstanding striker?

Is the passing definately worth the extra money?

Opinions please.

Thanks.

I guess it depends on what you are going to do. If you are going to play AIM or AOW alot then the passing is a bit more valuable, otherwise the extra level of scoring might be more worthwhile. You might also want to look into getting a player with high SP if you don't already have one.

Holy smoke, that's an insanely good YP! This will net you over 500k, easily. It's almost a very good reason to switch to forward training. This guy can make the u-21 squad.

Congrats!

Ehm.

Well, as the trend of upgrading secondary stats will most likely continue, passing might become more important in the future. But let's put that aside for now.
Take a look at where secondary stats can give you an advantage: high passing is good for unpredictables, set pieces is good for long shots. Passing is also important if you play strategies like AIM and so on.

My advice would be to go for a formidable with high passing and unpredictable, but that will cost you a lot more than one without unpredictable. So that might be out of your league. But unpredictable is a bit of a waste on a player with low passing. He would still create opportunities for himself, but not on others.
Another option would be to go for a player with high set pieces. Since this hasn't got that much interest, this could be a lot cheaper. A final note, don't forget about heading.

English_brit
19-02-2005, 19:38
Thanks for the posts. Hmm, got alot of thinking to do now. You used Unprecitables with high passing Shabba? How often do they create chances out of nothing? I quite like Quick strikers atm as they tend to create a fair few chances with their speed, plus are a bit cheaper.

I could do with a good set piece taker aswell. My current ones only solid with bad shooting.

Shabbaman
19-02-2005, 20:18
The highest passing skill for my unpredictables is passable, which most likely isn't high enough for such an event. This one comes straight out of the platypus guide,
Quick is nice, but it's weather dependable therefore I don't like it. But I'm biased towards headers atm :)

English_brit
19-02-2005, 20:31
Yeah. I would like more Heads in my team if I had a decent set piece taker. I used to have an excellent sp taker but had to sell him. He scored loads. :(

English_brit
19-02-2005, 20:35
Personally I find the weather event hardly ever happens and the amount of chances they create with their speed easily overcompensates for it. Just my opinion though.

yndy
19-02-2005, 20:54
The chance of a player to get a special event is not very high - about 5% (+-2% :)). IMHO it's not worth the extra money when differences between teams in the league are significant. But when teams are very close and matches are being won/drawn/lost at a one goal difference, the Speciality of the player and that 5% chance he'll score are worth it.

In my case, it will be needed when/if I promote to Romania's 4th division when things will really start to be tough for me.

English_brit
19-02-2005, 21:21
Good points. My league is a very close one atm. Although I'm hoping to launch a serious title challenge with my new pull to bring in some money.

Solid scorer, weak passing. His TSI is about 75% higher than a solid/weak with no other stats. The inadequate defending skews his TSI, but my estimate is that this guy is a high solid.

I don't know what to do with him though. His passing is too low for me, and I'm aiming at training players with higher stats. I'll be selling my first three forwards at the end of the season, and by then I need the other three to take their place.

He's too agressive btw. Maybe something for meli.

Just a pity his passing sucks big time. Still doubting a bit what to do with him, I could keep him around as a trainee, but I think I'll sell him as I'm only gonna switch to forward training next season. Better have the cash now instead of watching his form decrease.

Hard to say but why not just list him for 25k and see where it goes?

Plux
04-04-2005, 10:30
I'm no veteran :), but seeing he has pretty high TSI and young age and his skills make him a good overall wing midfielder, I'd say 25k would be AT LEAST possible.

ProPain
04-04-2005, 12:17
that's a nice midfielder Kemal. TSI is above average, hard to say what that means for his wing skill though. 25K should very well be possible but wingers are somewhat hard to sell inmy experience.

I sold an excellent winger 2 months ago for 65k but he had no secondary skills whatsover. The first inadeqates I bought for training a year ago I paid 10-20K for iirc, prices dropped a bit though so I'd say yours should be worth 25k.

List him and see what happens.

Also imexp it helps to have the last2 hours of transfer listing during match time of big hattrick countries. People get bored and scan the transfer lists.

It seems, looking at the transfer list, that indeed selling wingers is like attacking spearmen with tanks in civ3, you never know what is going to happen. ;)

I've listed him for 15K, deadline at 20:30 wednesday or so, to make sure possible winger trainees know he played in the friendly of that day (hmm, helping pp here to partly predict my line-up for our cdz-clash, I suppose...).

He sold for a very satisfying 131K in the end (and not to the Werder Allstars), not bad since as KR rightly pointed out this fellow was probably only barely better than passable, looking at his TSI.

Btw, initially I forgot to mention that Hildio was actually the very first product of the now excellent Snaken YS, so hopefully even better pulls will be coming up, especially once the next season starts. :)

I've wondered about that as well. Lots of times when I've been looking for trainees I've been surprised at the number of dual trainees where I would have to bid against defender trainers as well.

Its going to be difficult to get a significant amount of money for him since he is 20 in 3 weeks so he isn't really trainable. However if you are training stamina over the offseason it could be worthwhile keeping him and then selling him next season as a 20 year old but with good stamina as well since there is a demand for solid PMs.

The problem is what to do with this guy? Sell him of keep? He seems like a great wingback with not so bad playmaking (may play as winger in case of dear need) and I desperately need one. If selling him, then he is 19 (will be 20) and probably not worth much in terms of training. Transfer compare gives two recent sales of 600K and 800K. Seems like with some marketing he can go for a million or slightly less. Also, he is technical which is generally a good quality for defenders or so I thought. Head specialty though would have been better a little bit.

Alas, no 17 year old excellent for Snaken at the start of the season... but a sellable player nonetheless I hope, or else at least a decent WTM replacement:

Quite good for me, better be powerful or head specialty however. Not worth much on the market, around 50K or so. He will stay in the squad and I will sell one or two passable defenders I have now.

DOn't know why, but recent pulls have been mostly 19-year old? Why is that? I thought most outfielders should be 17?

Not so sure on the championship this time, I'm afraid.. I'll be playing against the only other really strong team in my league next week, but over the last two weeks I've experienced a form drop of over 20(!) levels total in my squad, including plenty of my A-team players. [sad]

However, since 2nd spot is good enough for promotion too, I think I'll just sit on the money for a while, and invest it when the transfer market is at a low again at the end of the season.

Thta's not a very valuable YP PP. Solid passing and Inad defending is just too low. Defending takes way too long to train for this one to be usefull and I doubt he'll sell for over 20k, though I hope you prove me wrong.[blush]

After KR tipped me off you only get former club money when a player has actually participated in a match I've alrdy adjusted the line up for next wednesday. Burink will play off course.

Any ideas what he should be able to get me cashwise? TSI is high and apart from stamina his stats are ok as well. Pity stamina is important for PM but with the interseason period coming up that's more easy to remedy for a potential buyer than mid season. Comparable stats with just 1500 TSI seem to be sold for 200K, I'd settle for that :)

Kemal
22-08-2005, 13:31
Also remember that there are tons of managers looking for skilltrades. These people will usually only bid on players that get free training, so for any new sellable YP, unless you are on of those managers that can tell exactly how high he is in skill, I always make room in the friendly squad so that they can get free training at the new club and possibly pop.

Those skilltraders can really push up prices to another level!

Kingreno
22-08-2005, 19:22
Uh, wretched stamina! training stamina in the off-season PP? that would greatly enhance his value...and since he's is 19 already I doubt the few extra weeks of not-training-PM/winger will matter a lot.

On domestic issues; my Youthsquad trainer was hung on the center of the pitch preceding last Sundays match. I have seldom got such a crappy season in YP's.[aargh]

22-08-2005, 19:25
put him up for sale as is. He's wearing a 'sonderangebot'pricetag of 200K, and we'll see what happens. I dont really need stamina training atm and the form loss isnt what I need for next seasons start either if I manage to stay in the 6th.

If he sells for 200K I;m happy :). Sorry to hear about your YS trainer, have to say mine topped of an average season with quite 2 ok players in the second half, solid defender with inad. passing and the bloke that's for sale now. I'll keep my trainer around for another season. :)

He's on the market until Thursday at 21.43 CEST
Minimum bid: 400 000 Euros

Looks like he's close to excellent scoring as well! A superpull, congrats! [thumbsup]

Btw, make sure he plays in the cup game, that will likely attract skilltraders and make him more valuable.

I dont know what the hell happened to me.

As far as I can remember I pulled a 17yo Solid Defender, didn't worry about the rest of his stats and stuck him up for sale for £0.

I open hattrick today and he sold for £592,720

I'm over the bloody moon!

Musta been a superstar in the making [:P]

He has a TSI of 740 so he cant be that bad :)

Apparently early season 17 year olds are some trainers wet dream. Personally I think buying for twice or more the price of an equivalent 18 year old doesnt really pay off. In the end the price dif between a 23 or 24 world class player is marginal and chances your 17 year old is selected for U20 or national squad are still slim.

BUt as long as people are paying incredible amounts for 17 year olds I just pray for young pulls and wont complain.

That 17 year old should be 2 or maybe 3 levels higher when he hits 24 though.

Someone has bid now. I would be surprised if he doesn't go for at least another 100k as he is predicted to be 7.9 in scoring and thus a week from popping.

It would be pretty unlikely for him to get into the U20 team as he is over a full level behind first week excellents and does need a couple of weeks of stamina training. The solid passing does give him a chance but not having a solid primary would damage his chances.

The passing is vastly more valuable for an IM so thats realistically what he is.

I'd sell as an IM as well, he will be valuable to teams later for his other decent subskills as well, which suit an IM/WTM better than a forward, I think.

I made 1.9M euro's for Kooper. His PM was only passable but his passing was soil and he had pass scoring to boot. Total TSI 3350. I think the guy who bought him did an extremely good deal, I;ve seen similar TSI go for 3M.

So my guess is 1M should be possible. Should you put him up for 500K just make sure his deadline is on a busy time so you get that bidding war you want.

did a quick transfer compare on 18 year old price now. Lantinga will be 18 and magnificent next season, same week.

No 18 year olds magnificent players for sale atm, just a few brilliants that sell around 2.5-3M

Training him for 21 more weeks means he'll be world class at the end of next season. Still very much trainable and there arent many players like that on the market. Maybe that's the best option.

SO, I figured if a yp with solid passing isn't that interesting I should get one with excellent passing instead :D. I got this one this week:

Kay Roelofsen (83800807)
18 years, passable form, healthy
A controversial person who is temperamental and honest.
Has disastrous experience and wretched leadership abilities.


Speciality: Quick

Nationality: Nederland

Stamina: passable Goalkeeping: disastrous
Playmaking: weak Passing: excellent
Winger: wretched Defending: wretched
Scoring: weak Set Pieces: weak

Career Goals: 0

Transfer compare does rate him for about 20.000. I'll give it a go.

Nice TSI, damn shame it is spread over excellent passing and weak playmaking/scoring/sp.
You would have had a ball should he've been passable/solid on PM.

Still very much worth a try selling him!

That guy might be worth training. Excellent passing is nice. And weak PM is better than poor.
But for a scoring trainer it might be more interesting.

It seems like a very nice pull but transfer compare gives only about 100K for him. It seems that the end of season contributes a lot. Probably, I'll probably put him in the market even considering I might switch soon to playmaking training. Any tip? I have never sold a midfield trainee.

Akots, if you're going to train stamina in the off-season I'd keep him a while longer as poor stamina is not that good for PM. OTOH I'm no specialist either, so selling him may also be just okay.

This would be not too good but his TSI says he's close to solid defending, which I am training but I already have eleven people for just 10 training spots there. I will keep him hoping to sell some other dude soon, he may even leech enough from just sitting on the bench.

End of season means prices are low indeed, which is why I personally have shifted to pulling goalkeepers, since the keeper market seems much more resistant to the end of season drop, I've noticed, making these pulls (relatively) more valuable, it seems to me.

Then again, you guys have been pulling some good stuff lately, while all I got is an inadequate goalkeeper once. Even Kingreno is now doing better than I am! ;)

Don't think I'll train stamina since I'm facing qualifier. Also, he has poor stamina and has to be trained to at least passable which leaves him for stamina gambit guys to pick up cheap and sell for big bucks. Since he is going to be 18 by then, little surprize he is priced low. Still thinking what training to start next season. May be keeper, looks tempting and I'm free to play both 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 depending on circumstances. Flexibility is good. So, guy is put onto transfer list.

Had a 17-year old passable winger, not so great... what is even worse, another team in my league got a 17 year old excellent forward, very likely selling for million+. Bleh.

He may only go for twice as much since he is a week 2 pull although he is pretty good and I will be playing him in the league game.

Besides the Chocolatename, what do you think? Sell him or train him?
I am training defending and am looking for 1 trainee...Passable is just a bit low though and with bad luck he'll be needing 7 weeks or so to pop solid.

I'd say a 17 year old passable PM/passable defense will definitely sell... too bad his wage is so low, he's probably low passable in every skill (but don't take my word on that, after all I'm the guy that bought a 1.3M low solid striker). No idea on price estimates, I'm afraid, as I never get 17 year olds to sell from my YS. [sulk]

Though truth be told, I did finally get a solid skill again today! [yeah]
A 19 year old solid winger.. must be worth a whopping 1K, surely?

Any thoughts what this guy is worth? Transfer compare gives around 700K for similar players with 1000TSI, I;d say 1M+ should be possible.

You have to bear n mind though that he is two weeks behind some of those other players so he could still fetch 1 million but it needs slightly more luck.
