On 15/09/2018 at 17:03, Makoto Nakamura said: I think it just increases the radius of birthplaces to be honest. To add to Aldish' comment, that's why I haven't increased Youth Recruitment (I can't remember improving it to basic) The Cornish believe in the Cornish, I wanted to try and keep the team as Cornish as possible as we rose through the leagues. I think this is a really interesting point that might have been missed by many. While @Makoto Nakamura is correct about the birthplaces, that's an indication of how far the club is able to spread it's net. It's also the reason why the players have such "relatively" high CA values when they come through the intakes, and also why the players that have left have not gone on to super-stardom. (Even those that hinted that they might be Superstars). Yes the players are still being sourced more locally, but the price being paid for that is that the PA is going to be lower on average than if the players were being drawn from a wider area. With Makoto's ability and the specific nature of this thread, I actually think it works really well, but it's not something that should be tried by mere mortals.

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm a bit dumbfounded here if I'm honest. You have just won the Champions League, (twice), the Premier League, the FA Cup, the European Super-Cup, the Club World Cup, (and something else too I think), and you have done it with Youth only players from the 11th Tier of English football. To make it worse your idiot Tycoon Chairman almost killed the club and you had to rebuild the facilities from scratch, and and AND... you are not even doing this Youth ONLY thing right because you are all about the CA rather than the PA. (Yes, that comment is VERY tongue in cheek by the way). What the hell are the rest of us meant to say or do in response to this? I guess there is only 1 thing to say. Bravo.

oriole01 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Caught up the other day after a busy week. What a glorious end to an outstanding thread. I don't think anyone could have seen this coming so quickly, but it is absolutely brilliant that it has. Admittedly, I didn't follow this career from the start (I only came in when you were in League Two), but I'm glad I've hopped on. This is a worthy reward for a lot of time and effort, and I would think some sort of real-life position at St. Buryan wouldn't be out of the question if they see this . Looking forward to whatever comes next on FM19, and I predict there will be some awards coming your way before that. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
