Okay I’m definitely out of practice with this dynasty-writing thing. I forgot all about the youth pull and financial update. Whoops!
Youth Squad Promotion
This week the youth squad produced a pretty good young striker with loads of potential, Oliver Smith. Unfortunately for Ollie, we’re not in the business of building forward talent, we buy it instead. However, some team that specializes in training young strikers will surely find a place for him on their roster.

We’ve been frustrated in our efforts thus far to find a good reserve defender, but will continue to look. Judging by the market as it stands now, expect to see a significant portion of our current bankroll disappear when we finally pull the trigger.
