Senior Squad
Hey all,
How are the youths on this game now? What about coaches, training camps and any other proposed features? Has anything changed yet?
I might come back to set up a youth team, just train loads of young English players. I'd have good coaches too obviously, but this plan won't work if the starting youths are still crap and slow trainers and no chance of being any good in the future.
It'd be interesting to see if getting players at 15-18 and selling around 21-23 would be effective. Players in the early twenties sell for more than older players so it could be a nice little earner to build up the stadium (and eventually I'd get the kind of cash I would've had if I'd sold all of my team off).
It'd save money on transfer fees and wages (related to transfer fees) and give a fairly competitive team with lots of squad depth as all players would be of about the same quality.
Obviously the team wouldn't ever be world beaters but I don't have the time to play that competitively (plsu I'm not paying to enter cups just to improve my rank). It'd just be for fun and enjoyable seeing if I can take points off of teams with highly overpaid foreign stars.
So anyway, if things have improved I might come back. Would help the England U18s a lot if those tournaments still go on, and maybe the senior team as well if they can be trained high enough. Heh, I'd have no foreigners at all; how's that for patriotism?
If the latest news on the youths is good then I'll look forward to playing you guys again. Just make sure you send out your youths in friendlies!
Kind rgds,
Chris
