LV13 p47 "Academy vs nordgen vs scout"
After about ten seasons I decided to sign with an academy player.
My motive to do that, was to see some records or test that maybe I lost the first time and to compare him with some other players.
The three basic rules (which I had in that case) are :
-It must be in the beginning of the season
-He must be playing in a position you want
-He must have some high quality (meaning he must be at least 21T or 24T).
The other three are next –
-You must have a lot of greens (and reds) to feed him
-He must perform good
-He must be fast trainer
So this is the player after testing him in some games. Seem that he has talent and the most important for a ST, he likes to score.
So after that I decided to invest to him. Those are the results in 3bars/practice. He had some good numbers so I spend about 60 greens to give him 1 extra star, +5 quality. (without an injury)
After that I trained him with my other two nordgen of this season.
Those are defenders which I already gave defending special abilities (spending about 60 greens each).
Those are the results, spending 100 greens for the three.
Mauro Galvao won 18sp, Sylvinho 20 sp and Maroulis 24 sp because as lower q 5* player, had better numbers.
I continued testing my academy player in the games and he got a MoM. Also test him as a Free-kick specialst (in the right side) and scored one goal, so I decided to give him also this sa (this period I don’t have this sa in my team) another 60 greens
as to rename him – giving another 1T
So far, about 150 greens, + 15 reds for an injury and he is still a 5* player.
Here I want to say that I bought a GK, from scout list, 50T, who is now a 7* player with a sa, without spending a single green or red booster for him.
now, he is 23 y.o. but still can play in 6* quality at least for the next 3 years.
And this is Pele again, in d16, after spending some more greens
– I have to admit that he has talent
So, is an academy player a good investment ?
I believe no, at least when you can find good nordgens - Even a scout/list player is better investment (considering that 46T = 50 green packs).
but if there isn’t anyone good, then it’s not bad choice.
And also it’s fan.
