Sold for 214k. That's 10 weeks of YS paid for already!:D

I just sold a passable scoring weak defending weak passing guy for 62 700 US$

not all bad.. pays for the club for a while.. I am just excited for my next guy to pop.. :D

sold my stud striker for 1.2 mil today

17 yr 3 day

Solid Scoring - Passable passing - weak defending.. :)

I'm a happy guy now :D

I am amazed, a solid striker for 1.2 mil? Congrats!

That's in dollars, so it's about 300k euro's ;) Nah, amazing price.

thanks.. it gives me around 3.1 million USD to play with right now and I have not yet sold off my club yet.. (I will wait til after I get booted from the cup)

Nice sell Mistfit!!

I got a passable scoring last week, sold for 97k.

Today this came in:

TC gives 100-400k. [drunks1]

[blush]

TC gives an abnormal 100-900k range.

Strangely enough a similar guy as KR has...

Young Gelwin changed owner for 585 000 ˆ! Too bad that he reached his maximum before he reached excellent...
That being said, I now have a 15 yo passable defender with excellent as max!

I only got 340 for mine!

we live in a strange HT world...

I have a 7 star GK and a 6 star winger (started with passable winger but has a bit of PM training). any ideas on what they'll turn out to be once they turn 17. Should I promote immediately or wait a bit?

7 star keeper is likely passable or maybe even solid - how long til he's 17?

My youth kid from:

is now worth 3.5 Mil as I have been training him.

IIRC he was around the 7.5 star mark when I pulled him

19 days until he's 17 exactly. I might keep him down in the minors until I find a suitable replacement for him since I'm training GK anyway.. there's no need in not training 3 players :D

sold on for 380K with excelent wing and passable pm 18 though

Awaiting a couple of superb youth pulls within now and 6 weeks I pulled this guy:

Not bad at all!

Riny Bot (see post above) was a victim of a bidding war. At the end one of the participants of this war mailed me this:

"Have fun with the money... I should have stopped far earlier, but this Bulgarian is mad ;)"

Bot went to Bulgaria for................. 459 000 € :D

I've sold an excel 20-yo winger which was originally a YP with passable winger who trained for like 3 seasons at a very relaxed pace (mostly as wingback in friendlies and not even in every game) for 400K. This is quite unexpected because I've thought the guy would make no more than 250K on a good day. I guess market is going crazy again even for the weak players since people have cash but supply of trained players is very limited. A lot train general and wingers are trained by only 5% of all teams while being about 20% of all players and some even like to use wingbacks with winger skills. On the other hand, some use WTM a lot and for that, minimal winger is needed.

I'm now training PM as main skill with YA, should have soon at least 2 guys at passable-solid PM ready to promote to go on the market.

So yes, YA finally pays for its maintenance even for me. However, there is no profit yet to be found in it. All recent pulls actually failed to sell even at zero price without further training.

Since this is the bragging thread, I like to respond by saying that my YA profit right now is more than 2 million euro (total sales is about 3.4 million).

I'm training defending and will pull two excellent '17 year <5 day' old players very soon. One of them also probably has at least passable wing.

So imho there's a lot of money to be gained from the YA.

Riny Bot (the guy I just sold) almost had no training at all, but maxed out quickly.

w00t!

I do not really know what this means but I have a player now that is listed as being part of the U-20 team :D

That means:

-Higher injury risk if he plays there also (but you get money if he gets injured)

-If he plays, the national team pays part of his wage

-If he plays, he gets experience

-He is worth more if you sell him (but don't sell him without talking to the scout/national coach first)

-You rock!

That is actually quite nice. Most important of course is experience.

I get the idea that the "regular" youth pulls have been toned down. That, or I've hit an unlucky streak, even unluckier than my normal luck.

First of the two supper-pulls this and next week :)

edit: I got 1.349.000 euro for him!

edit:double post

Last week I thought I would promote Odyakar, who just turned 17 and is excellent in defending. But he just improved his passing skills, with 8 stars there now. Who knows, he might get solid/excellent there as well!

So I'm training crossing and wing attack until I get a nice 'skill-up, skill level or training complete' message about him and in the meanwhile promoted this guy:

edit: he sold for 102,000 euro.

My best pull ever, but I expected more because he had 8 stars as a winger:

I sold Odyakar for ...........................

4,112,000 euro!!!
:) :) :) :)

OMFG, that is quite a profit!

So that whould pay for more than 186 weeks of investment in the old youth squad.

Congratulations Aggie!

I am looking forward to promoting a guy who should be solid on wings and get solid in passing as well. I hope his PM is also ok, then I'll train him myself. Promoting him probably next week, so let's wait and see. He is like 17 1/2 though.

Nice one Aggie!!!

By far not as good as yours but a decent pull:

EDIT: got 400k for him!

This the 3rd pull in a row that will certainly sell well. He has a huge TSI for his age, TC gives only 200k-400k but the highest TSI there is under 1 000.

pretty happy with that

My first pull after the lucky streak:

Karel Velzen (234901338)

In passable form, weak stamina.
A sympathetic guy who is balanced and honest.

Seems like I keep on getting superdeals. 600k for Velzen! My total YA income is now 10M...

I think that there are enough nutcases around who keep on thinking that these kind of very young players are worth these prices.

All the more reason to continue doing what I'm doing: focus on the mainskill of my best young player(s) and try to sell them fully trained in this as young as possible.

I now have 3 to 4 of these players in my YA with max skill solid or excellent...

I sold my stud keeper (and the guy I pulled week one from the new system) for 6.3 million USD

[:O]

Wow. What were his stats?
