Onderwerp: U-20 Top 40

I suppose you could call this a Protected Species list. The purpose of this is to track them and be aware when they're on sale.

These are our current Top 40 players at 20 and under (according to ratings), 10 for each position. This list will absolutely change as it updates.

He's not on this list, but he could be with training.

Callum Menace

Obviously needs tech.

2 interesting young Striker prospects on the market (both from Anfield). I'm considering a bid but it's problematic as I don't currently have any training spaces left for strikers.

I've got a ton of juniors coming through this season, already sold about 4. Academy is making profit for the 3rd consecutive season.

Lucky you, I have not had a decent youth since Freedman, sadly.......

I'm just waiting for that special one.

Been doing it for about 25 seasons though :)))

I have some potentially very good players coming through this season, but they're all young so likely to be sold. Unfortunately that's the reality of 1st generation youths, you need the money to invest and boost your infrastructure to the point where it actually makes sense to keep and train them.

7 of my 10 trainees are own juniors, I fully expect that to be 8 before the season is out.

You're lucky.....

I need to update this (and other stuff). Unfortunate consequence of not having my database for 9 days is that you very quickly fall behind on multiple fronts.

Cameron Maddison is currently being advertised for sale. He's improved a lot and is looking like he might be our U-21 winger for next season.

Right, lets try that again.

I think I'm going to make this a Top 50 and add a few of the younger prospects who aren't quite rating high enough to automatically get into the Top 40.

It would probably worth doing each age group? Although obviously more work to do it.

It's not a huge amount of work because it's mostly all done, it's just a matter of ordering it.
What I don't want to do is put out too much because it's easy to confuse with too many databases. I need to work out some kind of structure so that it's easy to get a good overview of whatever you're looking for. Before I was on an enforced break I was putting together squads for U-20 through to U18, I'll probably go back to that once I'm happy that the database is complete.
