Bradmonk Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think I developed a serious case of 'Wenger Syndrome'. Hoarding no end of youngsters for my squad... my U18 and Reserve teams are not big enough to accomodate the influx and there's no way I am going to put them into first team action or send them out on loan! Half the fun of the game for me is nurturing young talent into the best... but its become something of an obsession for me, just signing ever player which has a PA of two and a half stars or over. I cant help myself! Is someone aware of how to overcome this addiction?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermundr Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah start selling them with a 50% profit of future transfers. And raise the bar to have a potential abiilty of at least 3-3.5 stars. But I promise, once you sell your first youngster this way you will be cured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have the same problem every time, so after a few seasons I add a new manager and loan/sell all the best youngsters to his club (with low buy back prices) and see which team becomes better. Believe me, it's a great feeling to have two clubs full with "your" players compete in the Champions league. Best I ever had was when they were in the same group and then met again in the semi(?) final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradmonk Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well, I wont be selling them till they are in their 20's, try to max their potential to milk as much of them as possible. I have gone with a few 2.5 stars as players are able to out-do scout reports. Since they cost next to bugger all to begin with then I'm not too fussed.

craigcwwe Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You are buying for the future so you are saving a fair bit of money because the players are going to develop at your club and there value will rise, well done mate, Wenger will be proud.lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You're quite normal as an FM player. I think loads of us get the greatest pleasure playing the game from finding and nurturing youngsters and seeing them turn into world beaters. For long-termers it can be more satisfying than racking up trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkingwithintent Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm not short of cash so I'm trying to buy as many as I can, usually when their contracts are expiring or for relatively small amounts. If they make it, then I get a world class player, if they don't, I'll sell them usually for what I bought them for or usually more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
