Which was understandable due to the induction of the Careers forum. However, this year, I will be giving this a good go myself. I've not really been involved at all in FM11 thread, but if there are any players suitable from that thread for the HoF, please let me know.! Every year we get a new batch of youth players, and the Ass Man singles out the best one of them. (I'm assuming they have the best P.A of the group.) My aim is to take this player, give them some first team football, and track their career, be it at Real London, or should they move on. Each season I will add a new player to the reports, (naturally) and just think it could be fun, interesting and informative of what happens with them. Thread Rules : There are no real "rules" - as this is a supplementary challenge, and can be run along side many, or even ANY of the other challenges in the forum, but I will ask that participants provide as many screen shots as possible. Day 1 of the players career and end of season screenshots, with small reports are what I opt for, but you can provide as many, or few as you wish. There is no limit to this challenge, nor is there a finishing post. You may come and go as you wish, and do not have to follow my example with taking a player every season. Should you wish, you could take on the player every 2, 5, 10 or even 50 seasons if you choose. The most important thing is that you're enjoying and are dedicated to the challenge. And that you have fun. Of course, the mandatory house rules, still apply within this thread. Seasons marked with a "*" indicate the player was only on loan for that season If other wish to use this, or a similar method to denote which seasons the player spent away from the club for a season, be my guest.

Guest Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Introduction: Welcome, to the Hall of Fame. Here, you will find the greatest ever players to have come through the youth ranks of clubs worldwide. These players spend a long time at each club, and deserve every credit for being entered into the HoF. It certainly takes a special player to get this far, and a special manager to help him. To be entered into the Hall of Fame is no easy feat. There is no specific criteria, but players will have broken milestone records, be it 500 club appearances, or 100 international caps.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'll be taking part in this challenge with my Arsenal long term save this year.

rancer890 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I really do miss the heyday of this thread in FM08 and FM09. I would love to get back into this, but I'm not a 'one-club' manager anymore and it's hard for me to stick with a club for a very very long time, unless it's with a big club or one I built from ground up - and winning a lot.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Got my first candidates. I thought I'd do it slightly differently this year - I've picked out five, but I will fairly quickly whittle this down to one or two. Just how quickly will depend on the year - sometimes it'll happen before I even sign them on contracts, other times it'll be years down the line. I will try (most of the time) to retain at least one from each year. This is my first intake with the five I've identified highlighted with their year and rank. Stephen Brophy seems to be the best to me. Gregg Smith was picked out by Andreas Jonker as the best prospect. John L'Estrange's mentals caught my eye. Cyrus Yeganeh has good physicals. Aaron Chamberlain's versatility could prove useful - especially if he turns out to be as good as Ramsey and the Ox combined! Because these players won't play this season, I'll skip the end of season post this year but as of next year, I'll post twice - once with the initial intake and once with an end of season report.

Braundjoh Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hopefully I can get more into FM this year, really struggled to get anywhere last year. Youth development is the best aspect of the game to me, so it'll be nice to see how others are doing. L'Estrange looks decent, 20 determination is great straight out of the academy!

Quads Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Ferencvarosi TC YP1 - László Mészáros - ST C / AM R/L Initial Profile Very, very promising lad. Since it is damn hard to find good Hungarian strikers that are not at big clubs yet, this guy will be a very nice addition to the team and will be tutored ASAP and given a few games before season ends.

Braundjoh Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Don't much fancy him as a winger with crossing of 2! But with that pace and dribbling, he could be a good poacher. What's his potential rating? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's his potential rating? Not really interested in him being winger, I've got that area fully covered with young talent, deficit is in striker department. Potential is 3.5-4.5*, which, by FM15 standarts, is pretty damn good. Only problem could be injuries, as my coaches suggest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quads Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Ferencvarosi TC YP1 - László Mészáros - ST C / AM R/L Initial Profile End Of Season 1 Has improved his determination by quiiiite a bit in those few months, which might be what it will take to make that jump next season, as we comfortably won league and the cup. Played fine in 5 appearances he was given, I will be aiming for 25 combined next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacky Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I prefer him as a winger (if you can get the crossing up). He clearly is never going to be a big strong guy but he has the dribbling/speed/flair combination and enough finishing skills to work as a winger. I'll probably post some people in here once I find someone who actually has some talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Rancer - you don't have to be one club for this challenge. You could do it at every club. Adds an extra dimension - which players are good enough for you to sign when you move on?! It's hard when you're in some Asian league and you want to make it to Europe from an Asian club.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Arsenal's Youth Intake Update 2016 Really excited with this year's intake. Just one player, but he's exciting. 2016a Adam Rimmer Initial Profile This guy could be brilliant.

Quads Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ferencvarosi TC YP1 - László Mészáros - ST C / AM L/R Initial Profile End Of Season 1 End Of Season 2 11 appearances, less than half of what I predicted - guy had 3 nasty injuries during first half of season and missed it all. Scored a brace against Inter in CL group stages, next day he got injured again. Might send him out on loan this season simply because I barely got 2nd in the league, and need to concentrate on winning every single game. YP2 - Sándor Pintér - M R Initial Profile End Of Season 1 A reasonable prospect..didn't really set world on fire in his first appearances, but neither did rest of my team. Has been tutored for a couple months now with no chances in PPMs or mentals, which is weird, but hopefully he can improve considerably during next season.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for that too, then. But I like Joncker for now. I know it's not strictly relevant but I thought I ought to share this...looks like a repeat of Anfield '89 might be on the cards this season. UPDATE: Sunderland do us a favour, and the game at Anfield is now absolutely crucial. Win and it's in our hands, draw and it's in theirs, a defeat gives them the title.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Arsenal's Youth End of Season Update 2015-16 Well, after a terrific run in that saw us get seven points from games against Chelsea, City and Liverpool, I've managed to shock myself and win the league having been close to the sack early in the season. And some of the youth players have actually played a part in that, as you'll see below from my seasonal updates. Champions, though! I'm still in shock! Twelve years of hurt has come to an end and Arsenal are on top again! That's also my first league win for a VERY long time, having played largely unsuccessful small club to big club games for a few years. 2015a Stephen Brophy Initial Profile Nothing much of note here, I think it's likely he'll be dropped from this list by next year. End of Season One 2015b Gregg Smith Initial Profile Given a debut against QPR when I decided to throw him and Chris Willock in when everyone was playing like Sp**s. It worked. And from there he went from strength to strength. He would have made a big contribution in the run-in, but when it became clear that I was a title favourite, I didn't want to risk it particularly and was happy to let him go on loan to Southend, where he scored 3 goals in 9 starts and two substitute appearances. End of Season One 2015c John L'Estrange Initial Profile Coaches told me he was doing well in early March and my keepers were struggling, so I gave it a go. But then he got injured, so he had to wait until March 20th and Watford's visit to the Emirates to give it a go. Did no worse than any other keepers this year, and I have very high hopes. End of Season One 2015d Cyrus Yeganeh Initial Profile Another duff. Almost certainly won't report on him next year. End of Season One 2015e Aaron Chamberlain Initial Profile Made his debut in November to become the youngest player ever to pull on the famous red and white. Gregg Smith was actually older than Fabregas was when he made his debut; Chamberlain wasn't. And he did well. He has gone some way towards establishing himself as the first choice left back in front of wonderkid Lucas Digne. End of Season One 2016a Adam Rimmer Initial Profile An injury crisis meant that he was actually handed a spot on the bench for a crucial Champions League game just days after his arrival at the club - potentially the final European match at the Vicente Calderon, as it turned out...and with 23 minutes to go, with Walcott doing nothing up front and the tie still deadlocked, it was a case of a half-fit Giroud or Rimmer. And because this is Neppo, it had to be Rimmer. If Arsenal scored the last goal today, it would almost certainly be the last European goal in the old stadium. A Sczesny slip (literally) with 18 minutes to go put us 1-0 down and under pressure...Rimmer had the no.9 shirt, it seemed to be written in the stars... Perhaps the most perfect moment I've ever had in FM! He only got me into the Champions' League quarter-final within 15 minutes of coming on for his debut! He also became our youngest goalscorer at just 15 years and 358 days old! He then played against Stoke to become the Premier League's youngest ever player.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Arsenal's Youth Intake Update 2017 Nothing special this year. I've tagged six players this year but almost certainly will drop four of them before the end of next season, so I'll only show you the two I expect to retain. 2017a Nigel Parchment Initial Profile His height means there's a chance he could be the new BFG (BFE?). 2017b Liam Johnston Initial Profile Yep. Two big centre-backs. But this guy could probably already do a job, and I will try to get him some game time before the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyedOutMan Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Arsenal's Youth End of Season Update 2016-17 We failed to defend our title in a really rather disappointing season but I think it was necessary. Youngsters have been blooded.... 2015a Stephen Brophy Initial Profile End of Season One Not exactly set the world alight at Exeter so I have dropped him from these reports and he will not feature next season. End of Season Two 2015b Gregg Smith Initial Profile End of Season One Disappointing in League One and probably will go the same way, but his attributes are just about enough to keep him here for now. End of Season Two 2015c John L'Estrange Initial Profile End of Season One Successful in League Two with Crewe so I brought him back and he will probably be my first choice next season. His dodgy stats on this screenshot is because he came back in April and he played behind a team of youngsters for a couple of dead rubbers at the end of the season. He looks good to me. End of Season Two 2015d Cyrus Yeganeh Initial Profile End of Season One Will not feature next season. End of Season Two 2015e Aaron Chamberlain Initial Profile End of Season One Did worse in League two than he did for me in his debut year. Will probably be dropped for next season but his pace makes me think it's not a total foregone conclusion. End of Season Two 2016a Adam Rimmer Initial Profile End of Season Zero Slightly disappointing year this year but he has established himself in and around the squad and will be Welbeck's backup next year. End of Season One 2017a Nigel Parchment Initial Profile A tough start but he looks fairly promising. End of Season Zero 2017b Liam Johnston Initial Profile Definitely the more impressive of the two, I'd back him over Parchment to be the new BFG. End of Season Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Man, you're committed to getting those youngsters some football. I can never bring myself to do that! Rimmer certainly looks like he could be a star with that potential, nice one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've made a LOT of money lately selling some top players (Ozil, Walcott, Wilshere, Ramsey) which has created room for them and at the moment my philosophy is "buy one star for every position and use the youth prospects as backup" - although Rimmer has improved again and is now ahead of Welbeck ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Having that philosophy combined with the fact that now and then one will be a star (Rimmer) means I should be able to pack the rest of the first XI with genuinely world class players. I have over £100m to spend at the moment, and have a front line of Depay (46 goals in 2 seasons), Gotze (picked up on a free!), Tello and Welbeck/Rimmer.....so that money will go on some top class defenders (when the full game comes out probably - the defending is so bad at the moment that it's not worth bothering!). I'm also picking up a lot of high potential youngsters from elsewhere, again hoping that one or two will come good and potentially save me £50m each getting a world class player in their position....

Braundjoh Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ha, sounds like you have things pretty well sorted then! Nice one Manchester United 2014-15 Youth Intake YP1 - Yago April 2014 A great set of attributes to be a top striker for years I reckon. Great potential as well, and 16 determination is useful. Will definitely be following this guy. YP2 - Steve Crosby April 2014 Another promising striker with very high potential and good determination. Definitely needs work on his dribbling and first touch. Will be interesting to see how good he actually can be. YP3 - Marlon April 2014 The second Brazilian from this intake to have decent potential. Nowhere near the talent of Yago, but 3* is potentially decent so I'll see how he does over the next couple of years. Needs to improve defensively, and some of those mental attributes are just too poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Arsenal's Youth Intake Update 2018 Most of them were rubbish and will be released. But there are two who look like real prospects. Nice new feature - four of them have come from affiliate clubs. I like that. Lee Prosser Initial Profile Decent looking player. Clearly a left-back. Will probably go straight into the side as we've got issues there. Surachai Sompittayanurak Initial Profile Annoyingly long name but I wasn't going to pass him up based on that - he's got to be the best Thai player ever, surely. I reckon he has a chance of making it. Prosser could be the new Cashley, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Arsenal's Youth End of Season Update 2017-18 A bizarre season containing a lot of strange results and a final surge back up into the CL positions. I think this year I overdid it a bit with youngsters and I paid the price for it. But hopefully in the long term it will pay off: as you will see, at least one of these players now merits a place in the side anyway. 2015b Gregg Smith Initial Profile End of Season One End of Season Two Getting very frustrating, Smith is. His attributes are fine, but he just doesn't do the biz. 7 goals on loan at Shrewsbury is not good enough. End of Season Three 2015c John L'Estrange Initial Profile End of Season One End of Season Two Breakthrough season. Nothing spectacular but enough for me to offload Szczesny and make him my number one now. The goals conceded is high - but the beta just does that! It's crazy! End of Season Three 2015e Aaron Chamberlain Dropped. Hasn't made the grade after an encouraging start. Didn't think it was worth posting his stats this year. 2016a Adam Rimmer Initial Profile End of Season Zero End of Season One Wow. Would you believe me if I said I was slightly disappointed with his eventual return? He was worse in the second half of the season and got something like 7 or 8 in the last 20 games, although I noticed he hits the woodwork 2-3 times per game which seems like a bit of a glitch and makes me think he's better even than these stats suggest. But he will be a total legend. End of Season Two 2017a Nigel Parchment Initial Profile End of Season Zero Didn't really kick on as I had hoped this year, and will probably be dropped next year. We'll see though. End of Season One 2017b Liam Johnston Initial Profile End of Season Zero Given the way defenders play on this beta, I think this looks really good. I have every faith that with the full game, Johnston could be a big player for us. And I probably won't finish another season until the game is out, so that's fine! End of Season One 2018a Lee Prosser Initial Profile Threw him right into the side and held his own against Bayern, despite the team losing 3-1, he was the best performer apart from the goalscorer. Similarly to Johnston, underrated due to the ME being high on goals, I think he could really make it. Looks to me the best apart from Rimmer already. End of Season Zero 2018b Surachai Sompittayanurak Initial Profile Yet to make his debut but my assistant rates him highest of anyone apart from Rimmer in terms of potential although he doesn't look as good as Prosser or L'Estrange to me. It would be awesome to have a Thai player in the first team! End of Season Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Rimmer is really looking good at this stage, and a few of those others are looking decent too. It'll be interesting to see how good Sompittayankurak will get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyedOutMan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Arsenal's Youth Intake Update 2019 One top top player here, and in a position where I'm a bit short, too. There's at least one further squad player here, too. Jorge Kane Initial Profile Top potential here. Some serious work needed on his physicals but he will do a job for me in the remainder of this season and that should toughen him up a bit. David Montgomery Initial Profile Probably competing with Kane, although there's a chance they could both get into the team. He's best as a deep lying playmaker, it seems. Alan MacDonald Initial Profile Probably not going to make it, only just selected him, and my assistant really doesn't rate him. But we'll see. Kane will be the player I build my team around for some time, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Arsenal's Youth End of Season Update 2018-19 A tough season as too many youngsters had made the step up. I need to change my strategy somewhat and make sure that the youngsters are not first choice until they are ready. New policy: world class first choice players for each position, but youngsters as first back-up players. Obviously eventually SOME of these will become first choice (Rimmer is already there). 2015b Gregg Smith Initial Profile End of Season One End of Season Two End of Season Three Did well enough at Barnsley in league one and as long as he's happy being 2nd or 3rd choice, I'll keep him at the club. End of Season Four 2015c John L'Estrange Initial Profile End of Season One End of Season Two End of Season Three Nothing special but good enough to continue as first choice 'keeper for now. End of Season Four 2016a Adam Rimmer Initial Profile End of Season Zero End of Season One End of Season Two I think he'll be the best regen I've ever had. Won the Premier League Golden Boot this year (as well as the European Golden Boot) and is the only reason we qualified for the Champions' League. He tends to be either terrible or brilliant though - very few average performances, and because when he doesn't score he tends to get 6.3 or lower, his average rating is not as high as his goal return suggests it should be. A fair few hat-tricks. End of Season Three 2017a Nigel Parchment Initial Profile End of Season Zero End of Season One Had a decent season on loan in League Two with Carlisle where he averaged 7.16 - but I think there's a good chance this will be the last report including Parchment. End of Season Two 2017b Liam Johnston Initial Profile End of Season Zero End of Season One Again, nothing special, but he did OK when given the chance this sseason. He's not bad as a utility player due to his versatility. End of Season Two 2018a Lee Prosser Initial Profile End of Season Zero Has made good progress and for him to be averaging 7.02 in the league, even if he did only play 13 games, in his first full season, is amazing. End of Season One 2018b Surachai Sompittayanurak Initial Profile End of Season Zero I don't think we'll see a Thai Premiership regular for a while... End of Season One 2019a Jorge Kane Initial Profile Beat Lee Prosser's record and is now Arsenal's youngest player ever - he was 14 at the start of the season (although of course he didn't exist!). Already pretty much first choice in this position, and I am looking to sell a lot of dead wood including Mario Gotze who just hasn't cut it in this save. End of Season Zero 2019b David Montgomery Initial Profile Probably competing with Kane, although there's a chance they could both get into the team. He's best as a deep lying playmaker, it seems. I played him a little bit in the DM role in a few relatively meaningless games at the end of the season but I don't see much of a future for him I fear. End of Season Zero 2019c Alan MacDonald Initial Profile Probably not going to make it, only just selected him, and my assistant really doesn't rate him. But we'll see.

GreyedOutMan Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Doesn't bode well that in the last two weeks - which have spanned release date - I'm the only person who has posted in here.

NepentheZ Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Was impressed that this thing is still going. I might partake in it again myself this year if I properly get back in to FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braundjoh Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I do intend to be active, but I've started working full time and there have been loads of new games that I've bought recently on other platforms, with loads more to come. There's just not enough time for everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Doesn't bode well that in the last two weeks - which have spanned release date - I'm the only person who has posted in here. This thread hasn't been thriving lately but I don't think it's worth keeping if I'm the only one posting I still use the youth player project numbering (YP1, 2, etc). There's just no one I think is good enough for an update. And welcome back Nep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Biu Chun - 2016/17 BOCG Life Hong Kong Premier League - Youth Player Project 2016/17 Intake Tsang Tsz Chung (ST) Nationality: Hong Kong Date of Birth: May 31, 2002 Place of Birth: Hong Kong Left Foot - Very Weak Right Foot - Very Strong PPMs - Runs with ball down right Initial Profile End of Season 1 - Profile Stats: [TABLE=class: grid] [TR] [TD]Year[/TD] [TD]Club[/TD] [TD]Division[/TD] [TD]Country[/TD] [TD]Apps[/TD] [TD]Goals[/TD] [TD]Assists[/TD] [TD]PoM[/TD] [TD]Avg R[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2016/17[/TD] [TD]Biu Chun Rangers[/TD] [TD]HK Premier League[/TD] [TD]Hong Kong[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]7.55[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Career[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I signed him to a professional contract almost immediately after he signed his youth contract, and after he did I played in a couple games to end the season. Disappointed he got injured already, but he's got a bright future ahead of him. A player of his talent is definitely appealing with me staying at the club.
