Sky Reloaded
Reserve Team
Quite possibly my best find in CM 03/04, is Paulinho, a Brazilian midfielder. I noticed that everyone usually screams Freddy Adu, Diego, Adriano, Reyes, etc etc the same names over and over for hot prospect wonderkids, so I claim this find as mine!!
I was nosing around other club's reserves, when I spotted this kid in Arsenal's Reserves, valued at 350K, listed at 300K. I remember a week ago when I sealed the deal for this guy I couldn't wait for the season to end, for June 8th when the transfer window would open. Today it finally did, and I gathered all my young buys together for a friendly against my veteran reserves team (which consisted of players I didn't need, Philip Neville, Diego Forlan, Djemba-Djemba, etc). I instantly discovered that, while I am still a CM newbie by far, that this buy was definitely not a newb-bid (pun intended ). Just look at the two screenshots below!!!
As you can see, he is technically unimpressive, but look at those Mental stats! Whoah!! THough I am still a newb, I know mental stats are the hardest to develop, and it comes naturally and not from intensive training. As I said earlier, I played a friendly against my reserves, and in the first half Solskjaer scored twice. Yawn. Second half I couldn't wait to bring out Paulinho to replace my own ACM Sky (which you've all seen in another thread). Whoa. I notice immediately on the 2d pitch how amazing he is. Truly reflecting his stats, he "flows" on the pitch, scored a beautiful volley and a great assist... and even captured the MoM! To be honest i'm a bit jealous this rookie is better than myself
I *can't* wait to develop this guy and mold him into a world-class attacking midfielder/forward. I highly recommend Paulinho for your low division tight budget teams!
What does everyone else think!
