For these that don't like Academy players

[Christian Christiansen]

i got one for 24 tokens and did same he was shhhh, so NEVER again

I really don't get this post... If he was that good why never again
And a question for those who have bought more than 1 players from the academy. Were they duds with 5-6-4 ratings or were they really good players?

I believe "shhhh" is there for "sh*t", meaning he was bad.

The players highlighted are all academy 5,6 and 7 *.
The three at the bottom are as well, but they are all one star and never used, they are only there to keep my average lower so don't bother with their ratings.

So the chance of getting a good player from the academy is 6/10?
P.S I see a beast striker there (Kerr)

All the players from the Academy that I trained up are decent so I'd say it's a pretty good hit rate if you put the time in. The 3 guys highlighted at the bottom have never been trained up and were played out of position all last season when I was tanking. They may well be decent players if I gave them the chance but I never bothered, so I wouldn't count them as being typical.!!
As for Kerr, he's the guy in the original post at the start of the thread!
