Season 10 & The Return To Youth






So after a spell of only playing senior football in the CFA association & winning back to back titles in both the Division 1 & Championship i felt it was about time i had another stab at the youth side of things. 5 of these initial signings went onto to play regular football for my seniors & in Kadriu & Leblanc i had a brand new midfield engine & at the time of the reset Leblanc was currently the best player in my squad. Berardini the RWB was signed from Ish (Fc Bozzy) for 12.5k in a transfer auction & was the only 1 of these players not to of joined directly from the free agents list. I still remember the chat i had with Jak when i showed him Kadriu & Leblanc & he told me i was crazy for throwing 5k a day at 2 youth's.

The Other Legend




My other legend has got to be Jorge Diaz a Peruvian Goalkeeper, Who to be totally honest with you did not set the world on fire at youth level, Yet when he stepped up to the senior side he rarely let me down. In the end it did prove to be 20k very well spent. He pushed out Kevin Trapp from the 1st team number 1 jersey slot who had claimed it himself a few seasons earlier. Diaz had been pushed out of the side though in what was the final season himself by again another youth product in Dave Masters (more on him later).

Due to me moving from Shearer to Toms as moderator & selling off my entire youth setup i have no others in my squad still from seasons 2 to 10 when i started buying youth players again.

Inter Retirement Legends




So now that i have a little bit of time & motivation i think its about time i added in my youth screens that i took from GW Shearer before the reset.

I feel every club has its legendary players & i feel Zezinho my Brazilian midfield maestro fits that bill, Signed for a massive 14k (he was one of my very 1st selections when i entered the gameworld), He played an incredible 3115 youth games for me scoring 479 goals in the process & even at 16 his average rating was over 7. He was getting on at the end of the gameworld but he still turned out an impressive performance at 33 in season 17. But i feel i would of extended his contract until he felt it was time to retire
