Tommy Houston, age: 19, height: 173 cm

club: Athlone Town A.F.C., country: Australia
hopeless form, formidable tactical discipline

weak stamina, tragic keeper
formidable pace, excellent defender
unsatisfactory technique, unsatisfactory playmaker
solid passing, solid striker

already a bid of AUD 1.2 million

Here you had me thinking I was getting money. Way to get me hyped and crush it. It’s not even close to 1.2m aud yet. Think it’s like just over 100k. I must be looking at the wrong player here.

LOL...yeah all me....eyes were gone when last looking. :(
Do we know where they sit in the scheme of U21 NT....if any chance?
(editado)

So in 6 months he’s gone up +2 in defender (solid to excellent), +2 in tech and pm (tragic to unsat), +1 in passing and striker (good to solid) and +5 in pace (adequate to formidable). So looks like he’s mostly received pace training with maybe a few defender trainings to get up a level there. Rest are from general training ups.

So 24 weeks roughly (it’s possibly 1-2 more if I worked it out properly) for 4-5 pace advanced training pops and 1 defender advanced training pops. So we’re looking at 4-5 weeks per pop here and none of those levels are above formidable and he was 17/18

Add to that his talent wasn’t great in the youth school. I mean I’ll leave it to Achmid to say whether he’s still in the u21 mix but just be aware of the above in any case. Probably why he’s being sold now.

Currently sits as the #1 u19 defender

Talent 4.8
Excellent

Adrian Brabham, age: 18, height: 184 cm
value: 110 000 AU$, wage: 1 640 AU$

hopeless stamina, hopeless keeper
unsatisfactory pace, solid defender
poor technique, poor playmaker
good passing, solid striker

Pulled as good

Oliver Madaschi, age: 19

club: The Comets, country: Australia
value : 57 600 AU$ wage: 1 120 AU$
very good [9] form tragic [0] tactical discipline
height: 167 cm, weight: 63.8 kg, BMI: 22.88

hopeless [1] stamina hopeless [1] keeper
average [5] pace unsatisfactory [2] defender
unsatisfactory [2] technique unsatisfactory [2] playmaker
good [7] passing adequate [6] striker

Will end up selling but won't be surprised if it turns into a sacking.

Good, Talent = 2.33 (7/3)

Karl Srhoj, age: 17

Popped to v good last week, but obviously inflated as it would've meant talent off the charts with 5 pops in 7 wks. :D
Hard to make what actual talent is but might train for a week or 2 & if lucky to pop, could list?

Since the sum of skills = 21 and 21/3 = 7, he is a good junior. For a very good junior, sum of skills must be 27.

Yes, the conundrum is how accurate was 'weak' at week zero? If true, then he's a talent for sure.

Could be a decent trainee there even coming from a low ish base. Possibly worth a go if you have the spots available. Also it’s still early enough in the season that being 17 is also a win.

Definitely a slot now that Collina is on the market. Will see if he can level up to Agius, although a bit behind right now.
