Not really, still not dissapointed: the Academy player I was training is a GK, now I got an additional MC with two abilities (FK on MC is useless, true), so added to my 3 MCs which are currently 7* or close, it means I don't have to worry much about the MCs next season, I have enough options for first team and rotation. I added DMC position to my youth MC, so it looks like a good enough addition to my squad.
And I'm not praising Nordeus, half the stuff they add to the game requires immediate improvements and corrections, the other half is downright questionable.
But subjectively, the MC just works great for me. Unless they gift another MC as a free seasonal loan, that would annoy me a bit.
