Do Young Players Grow In Height


Recommended Posts

I was looking around for decent young players for my Derby reserve team, there are a few 16, 17 year old CB's where there height is in the 170-odd cm's, and i was wondering if by the time they hit 20, 21 whether they would grow into a decent height for their position.

I am not 100% sure of the correct answer, but going from experiance of prev games I would assume not. Check your own youth team, you on occassions will have regens at as small as 5 foot 4 and as tall as 6 foot 6, and I have yet to see them grow. I normally get rid of keepers and centre backs under 6 foot, would be great if si could code something to "grow" players tho'.

Yeah, 16 and 17 year olds seem to continue to grow until they hit 18. They then seem to ground to a halt.

Ochoa is 5 foot 10 and probably the best keeper in the game lol
