USA Youth Pulls - Post & Boast!!

[Ippyluver]

Not pulls, but thought I'd discuss a couple of players I've got in the set-up:


Woodchester XI >> Albert Brennan >> Details

Right hand batsman | Left arm Fast
Talents Finisher, Gifted (Batting)

Bowling capable Technique capable
Keeping poor Power ordinary
Fielding reasonable

Still happy enough considering he started his days a poor/ordinary - 3 batting, 3 bowling, 1 fielding, 2 tech, 1 endo pops so far.

I think I need to just hammer bowling and fielding for the rest of youth, but so tempted to continue on that AR path..

Woodchester XI >> Garrett Wallace >> Details

I'm guessing that this chap will be good enough for the youth side at 20 , but yeah he's ticking along nicely.

Albert Brennan - from a selfish standpoint I'd love you to go pure bowler from no on. we only have 2 fast bowlers who have capable primaries and your is ahead right now. Freddie Barton (17yo) will probs be first choice when Brennan is 20 so don't feel obliged at all to follow my selfish antics

Garrett Wallace - very nice player, currently leading the pack of the 18yo or under spin bowlers. there are 3 just behind who will invariably overtake as they have the prodigy talent.

I'm happy to to pure bowler. When he hits 21 I'll probably do one season on AR to get one more batting pop, but that can wait until after youth. Needs some fielding as well at some poi t.

Asked for batsman, so I suppose technically they got the primaries right

[spark]

My youth recruit was rubbish and has already been fired. But it did get a few decent pops. This was probably my favourite or favourites as it was a double:

Rene Norris
18 years | 30,026 rating | $1,646 wage (6% discount)

I've trained his endurance/power before but I think I should probably do so again at some point soon. I might get another batting pop and then go to endurance or power. Sound sensible?

[Philly]

Two junks pulls for me this week.

[spark]

Yeah, I like getting a batting pop, get 1-2 endurance and power pops then back to primary myself.

Yeah, I think I'll do that. I never particularly like training endurance/power early but sometimes it makes sense and this is one of those times. Also, I suppose it doesn't make that much difference in the long run and, fingers crossed, I'll get some better performances than I would have.

[Philly]

Hm.
I currently have a 22 year old rm, then nothing younger. Will probably train fielding, then AR for a bit.
Thoughts?

Asked for a Batsman but can't really complain about this guy.

Nice.

Player fired so quick I couldn't copy his stats, and no fun pops either this week!

I have deluxe academy so most probably I'll be able to prepare him for NATs..

Very nice!

[spark]

It looked like I wasn't going to have a spinner for my youths next season (unless I bought one) but I'll take this guy; he should do a decent job for me.
