Youth Intake day. Mar 2056. 

It doesn't look great. 

2 centre-backs is great, but 1 at 5'8" and the other at 5'9" is not exactly what I was hoping for. Ah well. 

[Thebaker]

that is a poor intake, the first for a while and remarkably short. there seems like a lot of very short centre midfielders in this FM.

It certainly doesn't look good, but at the same time I'm not sure how significant this is in how good the players might become anyway. Don't get me wrong, the CA values are easy to spot so we certainly haven't got much CA, but where PA is concerned I think the jury is still out and will continue to be out for a few months yet. 

In case you hadn't noticed, I haven't been going into much detail on Youth Intake day because I don't think there is a lot to see. I think the initial ratings can be pretty misleading and there are a few examples of this. 

(43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * came through the intake 14th ranked by PA. He's made 316 league appearances, most of them for us, scoring 73 career goals. 

(46p) Weir (Driven) 6'1" * obviously came through bottom of the PA rankings within his intake, but he has made 127 career league appearances, most of them for us. 

There are other examples, but perhaps not as appropriate as these 2. Fingers crossed some of the recent intake fall into the same category. 

In any case (56a) McCluskey (Pro) * is ranked 17th of all players at the club by PA, (despite only being 3.5 PA), but the fact that we now only have 4x 5.0 PA players at the club is an indication of how much the best players at the club have improved and obviously the CA that this recent intake have been judged against has also improved. 

[Thebaker]

It may also not be that the PA is wrong (although it probably is and often relates to their initial CA or personality i think). It could also be that the distribution of attibutes for those players is just right for the roles played and makes them better players than ones with higher PA.  I have had players with 2.5 stars who are more consistant with higher ratings then others with 3.5-4 stars, usually with my ass man telling me to sell them as they are not good enough!

I don't think that a day 1 PA rating can be impacted by the same players CA, although do agree that personality plays a part, (simply because it affects how the staff think the player will develop). 

Yeah you could be right (generally), about attribute balance just being better for some players than others, but in the 2 cases given, that certainly wasn't the case for the GK and is also unlikely to have been the main reason for the difference in a "p" 16th ranked player. 

(43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * for example is the 16th ranked player by PA at the club, (aged 29), despite only being the 14th ranked player by PA in his intake. That's a hell of a difference. We've also had quite a few good GK's come through the ranks, so it could be that his low initial PA rating was caused by at least 1 very good, (rated by CA), GK being at the club, and then as the good CA GK leaves, the PA of the younger GK rises. 

(46p) Weir (Driven) 6'1" * is different in that centre-half has long been a problem for us, so it doesn't really matter how good he is or isn't. If he's anyway reasonable then he's going to be getting games.

NxGn 2056. 

Not only do we have #1 on the list, but we also have 2 more players on the list, the 2nd, (ranked at #4), who is only 18 so has another year of being eligible on the list. 

Squad by PA. 

We've got 19 players who with better than 3.0 PA and while 11 of them are teenagers now, 9 of them will still be teenagers this time next season, (so will be eligible for the NxGn list).

I meant that the ass man or HOY tend to assume that players with initial high CA have high PA which isn't always the case and why they dont always progress much as they are starting close to their PA. I think the opposite may be true with a players PA underestimated based on their initial CA.

Mar 2056. 

Scottish Premiership. After 9 wins in a row in the league, we lose to Kilmarnock in a game we should have won. If we win our game in hand we go level with Hibs on points, but will be ahead of them by virtue of our goal difference. 

Scottish Cup. (The Big One). We keep marching on and we're into the Semi-Finals where we will play Aberdeen. The other Semi-Final sees Hibs play Celtic, so the top 4 in the league make the Semi's of the Cup.

That's not something that I've noticed, "initial high CA suggesting high PA to the AI", but it is possible. I just think the initial PA rating are poor across the board.

Apr 2056.

Scottish Premiership. It was an absolute pig of a month in the league, with us dropping points in 3 of our 4 games. As luck would have it, we drew with both Celtic & Hibs, and they also lost another game each, so we only trail Hibs by 2 points after such a horrible month. 

Scottish Cup. (The Big one). It was a narrow win, but we're into another Final.

I'm using Wannachup-FM24-InstantResult but the added bits showing available personality and media handling info is a file that was created by someone else, (apologies but I've forgotten who, but it is mentioned in the thread). It was passed onto me by @_Ben_and I'm loving it, (so thanks again). 

Here is the link for the Personality/MediaHandling but that works alongside the Wannachup-FM24-InstantResult skin. Hope it helps.

It's taken a looooooooong time to get here. 

It certainly wasn't like this for most if the save. 

It's sort of nearing the time when I will have to start breaking my own wage restrictions though. The most I have paid a player so far is £10k per week, but I can see us exceeding that soon.

Yeah I've done Youth saves in the past and usually while they are better, they're certainly not free of economic constraint

May 2056. 

Scottish Premiership. 

We dropped 10 points over the last 7 games played over the last 2 months of the season, and when we lost to Airdrie I didn't even look at the league table afterwards. I just assumed we had blown the title. Somehow, Hibs managed to drop the same 10 points over the same period, (including a last day 0-0 at home to Airdrie, who had beaten us 1-0 the week before).

Celtic are slightly different in that although they lost 10 points in 8 games over the last 2 months, they could be slightly forgiven because they have also had to contend with getting to the Scottish Cup Final, (against us), but also the Europa Conference League Final, (against Liverpool). I think we can cut them just a little slack because they did better than both ourselves and Hibs over the last 7 games, and that's with 7 extra Cup games being played during the last 2 months of the season. The biggest thing for them though was that they just drew too many games. They only lost 3 times in the league all season, (compared to us losing 10 and Hibs 6), but they won 5 fewer games which is obviously a whopping 10 points difference between 5x wins and 5x draws. They had the best defence in the league, (conceded 3 goals fewer than us), but we scored 25 goals more than them. 

Airdrie have secured the 1st European campaign in their clubs history. 

I have a feeling that it's 7 places from next season, (but not positive about that). 

I would really like to retain the league title for the 1st time next season, and also score 100+ goals.

GK Depth. May 2056. 

When I looked at the GK PA ratings when I was doing the Goal-scoring GK's section in the last update, I noticed quite how much of a bigger PA (55e) McLean (Pro) 5'10" * had than the other GK's. This ties in quite nicely with the recent conversation I've had with @Thebaker

(43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * has been a really GK for us, and although he's been an unused sub for Scotland on 8 occasions, he hasn't been capped. 

The Coach Report says that (43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * is a Leading Premiership player as he is. 

That begs the question that if 3.0 CA is Leading Premiership player, what the hell is 4.5 PA? 

Now (55e) McLean (Pro) 5'10" * doesn't look great, but then again he's only 16 so that's to be expected. I think it's likely that his PA isn't amazing, but at the same time I can't afford to take the chance that it isn't, and miss out on developing an amazing player. I'm going to try and loan him out for 1st Team experience as soon as possible. I need to try and kickstart his development.

Leading premiership may be only equal to an leading english championship player so 4 star is an decent english premiership player or star scottish premiership and 5 stars a world class player. Have a look at the better players in your squad

In france i had a 4.5 star CA player whose CA description was world class where 3 stars was a good Ligue 1 player

Currently the best player at the club is (51c) Mackie (F.Pro) (IRL) *.

This is the bloke who @TIR669commented on when he noticed that he had only scored 3 goals by January last season. While a little concerning, I wasn't hugely bothered at the time and he did come good in the 2nd half of the season, ending up with 19 goals in 32(21) appearances. Even without pens though, he should be hitting 25-30 so we will have to see what we can do about that. I suppose when you score almost 100 goals in the league, whatever the "problem", it's not a significant one. 

[Edit] 

I suppose our best player only being a "star" Premiership player makes sense. We haven't got any Wordclass players yet.

Potential signing. jul 2056.

(38a) Arthurs (NIR) (F.Det) * has been released by Arsenal and is available on a free. He looks quite unusual as a player. His mentals are phenomenal while some of his technicals are pretty average, and his physicals are pretty average too. I'm thinking of signing him simply to sit on the bench and use his nous late in games from the bench. i'm not sure how I would use him in my setup. Using him as 1 of a 2 in midfield seems silly, but actually maybe that just the very thing we should do and while we might be more open defensively, we would also surely create havoc in forward areas. The only downside is that his agent has suggested that he wants approx £100k per week, (which equates to approx £5.2M per year), but we have £152M in the bank, so £5M for 1 year, (or even £10M for 2 years), wouldn't even touch the sides financially. It's frivolous in the extreme, but I also think it's nice bringing players "home", even if it doesn't actually make sense financially. 

A bigger concern might be that his mins in the squad will take away mins that should be given to a younger player and I will have to take this into consideration and try to anticipate where the AI might use him from the bench, (because it doesn't really matter that I want to play him in midfield). 

Thoughts? 

[Edit]

I know i said £100k per week, (so £5M per year), but it's actually more than that. 
£100k per week which is indeed £5.2M per year, (for 2 years which is £10.4M), but also the following. 
£5M signing on bonus. 
£250k agent fee. 
£50k appearance fee. 
£10k goal bonus. 
£150k for 15 goals & assists. 
£300k for 20 goals & assists. 
So if he makes 40 sub appearances per season, (for 2 seasons), (80x £50k = £4M).
Manages 20 goals/assists both seasons, (2x £150k + 2x £300k = £900k + 2x 10x £10k =  £200k =£1M).
So off the top of my head, (if he does quite well and triggers these clauses), then he will cost us approx £10.4M + £5M + £250k + £4M +£1M = £20.65M over the 2 years of the contract.
£5M per year sounded ridiculously expensive but what the hell. 
£20.65M all in sounds a disaster, (but I'm still going to do it I think).

Scottish Premiership. I'm a little peeved that we conceded against Ross County, but I'm even more peeved that we didn't win the game when we were awarded an injury-time penalty with the score tied at 1-1. 

League Cup.

Transfers.

Records. I hate posting these, (because we invariably concede as soon as we do), but..... they need to be posted in case we don't score concede, (but of course we did concede in the next game). 

We didn't concede in the last 2 games of last season. 

And then we went the opening 5 games of this season without conceding. 

Not only did we concede in the next game, but the player who scored against us was one of our Academy products (50c) Sørensen (FRO) (Fickle). He's not very good, (but good enough to score against us), and of course this was his 1sr career league goal.

Arthurs may be decent for a season or two, more important is stopping him playing for any other scottish teams. He would have signed for someone for far less wages of course!

I forgot to take a look at who was interested in him. 

The message that triggered my interest was an Italian club offering a contract, (but I can't remember who now).  He's still featuring regularly for the N.Irish National side, (9 starts last season and already made 3 this season), and is now on 108 Senior Caps. He's playing quite well when he starts, (we've had a few injuries so he's already made 4(3) appearances and we've only played 11 fixtures, so at the moment I'd rather see him start rather than be on the bench. 

I'm sure he would have signed for someone else for less wages, but I'm ok even with the ridiculous spend on him simply because we have money to spare right now.

Scottish Premiership. i can't have any complaints about the Livingston loss because they were good and deserved to win. We were just a little flat. We're still top of the table with games on hand on most teams, but have a look at Celtic hiding down there in 4th who have played 2 games fewer than us.

Surely making frivolous signings of your former players who don't really fit into your system is your prerogative when you have that much in the bank?

If it helps soften the financial blow, his Worldwide rep will likely (minimally) bump up your merch and ticket sales, plus if he helps your Second XI out of the CL League Phase for his two years, his ~£40m price tag will have paid for itself.

I'd have made the same decision as you have.

[TIR669]

I would be surprised if Arthurs didn't step up in some games. Dude has immense quality and natural fitness to last him 2-3 years with solid pace.

Plus reputation boost as well... No brainer signing. Stop looking at balance that much when there's nothing to spend it on anyway

Yeah, I'm happier with the decision, (after the event), because where as I initially planned that we would only use him from the bench, (and using the IR button I wasn't sure how the AI Ass Man would use him), he's actually started a few games and done ok, (as we have started the season well). 

He's played in both the 1st Team and 2nd Team filling in gaps due to injuries and so far has made 3(4) appearances, that turn into 7(3) appearances when you Include Internationals. 

He's contributed 2 assists, but his average rating is fine and the only reason it's not better is because our central midfielders are more of the water-carrier variety, (in terms of their role), so they don't really get the plaudits, (or goals/assists/ratings), that the front 3 and wide players benefit from. 

It's worth pointing out that we've only lost 1 game this season, (the last game against Falkirk), and he didn't feature in that one, so....... I think that's 1 in the positive column for him.

Oct 2056.

Scottish Premiership. How we lost to Rangers I will never know. We battered them and if anything I'm surprised that the xG of 1.93 - 0.19 should have been even more in my favour. We're playing ok, but no more than that. I really want to be sticking 4's and 5's on the poorer teams in the league, (and keeping more clean sheets), but it's just not happening yet. 

Despite the dropped points we're back to the top of the table and have games in hand on everyone except Celtic. Thankfully they dropped 7 points this month, because with their 2 games in hand they have the potential to be 2 points ahead of us. 

Hibs only dropped 36 points all season last year and they've already dropped 17 points this season and it's only 1st November. 

UEFA Champions League. The 2nd Team are scoring quite freely in Europe, but also conceding too many goals. 

League Cup. They're only friendlies, but we keep winning them.

Still not looking like a replacement for Welsh is coming through, none of those with potential seem to have got anywhere near. Perhaps you need to jettison those older keepers like Gordon to get the likes of McClean in.

This is what the plan for the GK's was this season.

And on 1st December 2056, this is where we find ourselves. 

So it's actually pretty close and the only difference is that (44f) Gordon (F.Pro) 6'1" *, (who you mention), is still at the club rather than being out on loan. He's currently injured, (broken ankle), and the injury happened...... on 19th October, (so after the window was closed anyway), and he will be out for another 2 months, (so might be tough to get him out on loan before the window closes in January 2057). 

Other than that, everything went as planned in terms of going out on loan, (and importantly they are all playing). 

(55e) McLean (Pro) 5'10" * is the brightest prospect, but is only 17 years old, (although he has grown to 5'11" now). He's playing for Greenock Morton in League 1, and they are 6th of 10 in the league and doing ok. Considering his age and his physical limitations this is a brilliant move for him considering the level and his lack of experience. Really happy with this one. 

(53l) King (F.Pro) 6'3" * might be listed as the U21 GK in the Depth Chart, but he's actually doubling as backup for the 1st Team and will play if there is an issue with (43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" *. He was out on loan at Queen of the South in League 2 last season and they did well to finish 2nd, but missed out on promotion in the Playoffs. He's 6'4" now and I would happily throw him into the 1st Team if needed. The only thing really stopping me is that I want to get (43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * to 100 career goals, and I also want to start cranking out clean sheets without tweaking the tactic too much. 

(49h) Broughton (USA)(F.Det) * has been progressing slowly but steadily through his loan stints and after a really good season in the Championship last season, (where Dunfermline finished 2nd but missed out on promotion in the Playoffs), he's made the leap to the MLS this season. He's got another couple of years on his contract and I think he looks decent. Certainly more decent than a £190k valuation, (although that might be because of where he is playing right now.... or his wage actually). 

(43n) Welsh (F.Pro) 6'4" * has been 1st choice GK for the last 5 years, and was a rotation GK for 4 or 5 years before that, so it's no surprise that he's approaching 100 career goals. More importantly though he's comfortably our best GK at the moment and although he only has 2.5 years on his contract, we have an option for +3. I'm in no real rush to promote anyone else at the moment. 

(56g) Archibald (LDet) 5'11" * is pretty average and the main reason he has remained at the club to play for the U18's is because I didn't mind him stagnating a little where as I wanted to make sure that (55e) McLean (Pro) 5'10" * went out and played at a decent level. 

(54k) Weir (Unamb) 6'0" is ok'ish, but you can see by the level of his loans that he's nothing special, although at the same time that's a lot of competitive games for anyone at his age so maybe he's just a slow developer. 

(45c) Paskowski(POL)(Bal)6'0 * played in the Championship last season, (as Ayr were relegated), so it perhaps makes sense that he has dropped down to League 1 this season. I will probably try to flog him for a small fee next season.

(44f) Gordon (F.Pro) 6'1" * may not have made his league debut for us, (or even his competitive debut for us), but he has played in the Premiership for both Kilmarnock and Airdrie, so he's certainly got a decent pedigree about him. The reason I've kept him for so long without playing him is because until the last couple of years we haven't had a real bright prospect through, (like (55e) McLean (Pro) 5'10" *), so I thought this blike might be the heir apparent, (albeit an ageing air apparent). 

We've actually has some pretty decent GK's come through the Academy. I know there are a few decent GK's who have retired, but there are still a fee knocking about at a decent level. 

(36b) Evans (ENG) (F.Det) 5'9" never played higher than League 1, (and never grew taller than 5'11"). 

(37b) Niven (F.Loyal) 6'4" * had a really good career in Italy, (especially when you consider that he came through our Academy when we were in League 2). 

(38l) Hastings. (Unamb) is playing in the East of Scotland Premier Division, and that's the highest level he's ever played at. 

(39c) Telfer (F.Pro) 6'2" * might have earned lots of money in his career, but much of it has been while being a backup GK in the Premier League and he's spent much more time sitting on the bench than he has playing. He was relegated & promoted with West Ham, and was part of the Chelsea side that won the 2055 UEFA Europa League. He's played in Europe for Chelsea, Man City & West Ham. 

(40e) Qurbonov (UZB) (Res) * "played" more often in the earlier stages of his career, but in recent years has been consigned to largely sitting on the bench. He's getting paid £11,750 per week at Hibs though, (which is higher than our highest paid player before we signed (38a) Arthurs (NIR) (F.Det) *, so who's to say that he made the wrong decision. 

(41h) Cairney (M.Citizen)6'2"* looks good, but unfortunately doesn't play good, (at least for us). He's still playing in the Premiership though, (for Livingston), and has had a good career. 

(42g) Niven (Bal) 5'11" * is currently playing in the Championship, and played in the Premiership for 2 seasons, but he's not great. 

(45o) Manson.(IRL)(Unamb) 5'11 is a pretty poor GK who spent most of his career in non-League, but then spent 1 season in League 2 and is currently a backup GK in the Championship for Queens Park. The lads agent has played a blinder there. 

(46e) Hunter (Res) 6'0" SELL is a decent GK who has spent the last couple of seasons playing in the Premiership. 

(47l) Masterson. (IRL)(Unamb) is a pretty poor GK who is now playing in Ireland. 

(48g) Fowler (F.Sport) 6'0" * is decent, (or should be), but I think his development has been stunted by signing of clubs to sit on the bench rather than to play. He's currently on loan from 1 Premiership club to another Premiership club, but actually plays for neither. 

(50m) Swanson. (Unamb) has never played higher than League 2. 

(51i) Pascazio (IRL) (F.Pro) * is playing in Serie B in Italy after getting relegated from Serie A last season. 

(52c) Aly (IRL) (EGY) (Resil) is sitting on the bench in Italy, but he's still young and is getting the occasional chance. 

(52j) Brass. (Pro) 6'2" is sitting on the bench in the Premiership.

Nov 2056. 

Scottish Premiership. We're 2 points ahead of 2nd placed Livingston, but we have 3 games in hand on them so that's a little misleading. We're also just 2 points ahead of 3rd placed Aberdeen and we only have 1 game in hand on them. The real comparison however is against 4th placed Celtic, and although we have a 3 point lead on them, they have 2 games in hand on us. Hibs are back in 7th, some way off the pace, but I expect them to pick up. 

UEFA Champions League. We had pretty tough fixtures in Europe this month. 

League Cup. Hibs might be struggling in the league, but they're having no such issues in the League Cup.

Dec 2056. 

Scottish Premiership. This is a good month despite the loss to Airdrie. The 1st Team had injuries and players have been called up from the 2nd Team to cover, so if truth be told the 2nd Team were really down to the bare bones in that game. 

UEFA Champions League. We did well to get anything out of this game.

Jan 2057.

Scottish Premiership. The 1st Team did well against Ross County, but the 2nd Team were convincingly beaten by Hibs. The 2nd Team have been really poor this month because the 1st Team have injuries and obviously we have had to promote from the 2nd Team to cover. 

UEFA Champions League. 2 more poor performances by the 2nd Team yielding just 1 point. 

Transfers.

I obviously didn't want to sell (52a) Fraher (IRL) (F.Det) *, but the only way I could get him to sign a new contract was to include a min fee release clause. I did manage to get an expiry date attached, but unfortunately it was still active when Atletico came calling. It doesn't really matter that we got a record fee of £57m for him because we don't need the money, and we would probably have been better off selling for £20M but including a 25% sell on clause.
