dave byrd Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Just bought this 14 YEAR OLD for £3m for my Oxford side. Never seen a player with such stats at that age. Any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankylars Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Strength is a letdown, but otherwise with proper training and mentoring he could be a gem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thats got to be the best 14 year old ever. Strength will go up naturally don't worry about that!

MelbVictory Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 He's one footed so attributes look higher than they will be reflected in the engine Can you elaborate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Can you elaborate? He means a two-footed player takes up more of their CA to have a stronger second foot. Players who are purely one-footed will have higher attributes than another two-footed player with the same CA. That will make the one-footed player look better but in the match engine he won't be as good as his attributes suggest because he will be rather poor with the ball on his weaker foot. Whereas a two-footed player is just as good with either foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbVictory Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 OK, so this is to do with the hidden stats. Would having two feet, with this player mean that his Visible attribuites would be lower, like crossing 15 instead of 17. Or is more a match engine thing. perhaps train him up on the right since crossing in 17. Would like to see a screencap when he's 17/20/24 years old.

edgar555 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 He's one footed so attributes look higher than they will be reflected in the engine I've said it before and I'll say it again. This 2 footedness thing is taken too far by some people on here. he is a quality player for 14 years old. one foot, 2 feet, 3 feet it really doesn't matter, quality is quality. If you lot had never read about it on here you'd never know there was a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbVictory Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Fair point. The thing is, hidden stats like CA/PA are always meant to be hidden. You're not meant to see them so really, you would never know what footedness would mean. Of course, you could judge the player on his footedness, ie Right only, and make your mind up.

dave byrd Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I thought 16 was the youngest players could play in the prem? Certainly in the game they can play under 16 but under 16's cannot play in the champions league in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 You have to improve his First Touch and Passing for him to be a good Midfielder, Also train him as a Winger He's 14! First touch and passing will improve with training, age and games. Not training him as a winger as i play a narrow diamond and have no use for wingers.

La Furia Roja Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 just cant believe how many people are saying he isnt strong enough etc. he is 14! Probably all the people who say regens and newgens are rubbish cause their 15 year olds are not worl class! He is a top newgen, one of the best I have seen at 14!

Fabregas18 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Don't train him right wing. Retrain him to rightback . He has 18 for crossing, 16 marking and pace, 17 tackling and acceleration. And he has very good concentration, creativity, flair, work rate and long shots too. A future Dani Alves ! Make him his own training schedule with big focus on strength, and he'll turn out brilliant.

And he has very good concentration, creativity, flair, work rate and long shots too. A future Dani Alves ! Make him his own training schedule with big focus on strength, and he'll turn out brilliant. Fabregas is right BUT it does seem such a waste that a great regen will be played at right back. Maybe work on both feet and test him as a center half? Carragher was a central midfield player until around 20/22. Give it a try in a few friendlies with a training schedule and you never know. Have him taking long range free kicks and maybe corners dependent on his height due to his crossing stats! Also try get him working on his left foot a touch more. Keep us posted, looks awesome!

GioGio85 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I think due to his great crossing & dribbling and his great pace & acceleration he is well suited to a role on the flanks, either as midfielder or fullback. To be fair he could probably play anywhere and do well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks well suited to central midfield...although personally I would also train him in other positions as he has the ability to be very versatile.
