Just came through in my youth intake, 3rd season.

 

Looks like a great Poacher!  I'd say the only issue I can point out is the "meh" physicals, but that can depend on your tactics.  Looks like a gem!

So I'm in my second season with Man United, and while I didn't get anything special in terms of youth players, I uncovered this gem at Celtic, who you can normally pick up players for smaller fees than expected.

 

Just turned 16, bought him in the recent window, spent the last of my at the time budget on this kid, and his attributes are fantastic for that age!  Surprised that his potential isn't 4-5, but I feel like star ratings are even more inconsistent in this game.

 

Pros:

- Well-rounded physicals

- Very good in the three important defensive technical attributes

- 20 Determination

- Good Aggression and Bravery

- 17 Work Rate is a nice bonus

- Determined personality

Cons:

- I use two Ball Playing Defenders, so his Vision and Passing are rather average

- Not sure how much weight you put into this, but the fact his media description isn't "Wonderkid" is a little confusing to me.

 

So a question to everyone, how much did you think he cost, and what price would you be willing to pay for him?  I paid a, what I think is a tiny fee, of £5 million.  He's about two points lower than most of that of Victor Lindelof and I can get about £50 million for him, so I have huge hopes for this guy!  Will definitely feature in a couple of games this season.

How my Inside Forwards manage 11 and 15 goals in my title winning season yet my Striker who doubled their shot count finished with 3. His opportunities weren't as good, you may think: absolutely not. He should have finished with at least somewhere in that region given his opportunities. The previous season was very similar. I should be happy I won the league (Uruguayan Prem) but something about it doesn't feel right watching the games. 

That last second is honestly the most accurate summary of Football Manager 2020 I've ever seen.

I won everything with Man United in my first season, and lost one single game in all competitions - but it felt like an absolute chore at times.  I got a handful of wins where I thought "Yeah, we were completely dominant, can't complain at all", but every other game is just 10-15 minutes of players making brain dead decisions like shooting on the byline, Inside Forwards going on Messi-like runs only to punt the ball so high it lands in East Africa, and the same header animation 7 times a match, where a striker misses a golden chance.  Not to mention I've yet to use any midfielder or forward with any sense of consistency.

[Little FM things that annoy you...]

The fact that you know exactly when an opposition goal is coming, before they even get close to your third.

If I see a midfielder slightly out of position, and unable to make the interception, then 99 times out of 100 it leads to an AI goal, even if it's a ****** rebound one.

And that BBM's only get decent ratings if they score.  BWM's also seem to be surgically attached to a 6.5 ratings.

This is probably my fault tactically, but I've never used one winger who is remotely consistent.  They'll play three 6.3's in a row, then on the fourth game they'll score and set two up.  Just wish wide players were even the slightest bit consistent.
