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: Quote:
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

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 € |

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.

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. |
