Ok, here's my youth pull, I finally got a good one.

Weldon Gill (8592980)
19 years, passable form, healthy

A pleasant guy who is temperamental and honest.
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 91 000 US$
Wage: 980 US$/week
Owner: NE Oklahoma Sidekicks
Warnings: 0

Stamina: wretched Goaltending: inadequate
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: disastrous

Ok, here's my backup Keeper (my starter is a solid Keeper):

Tor Larsson (8196437) 3
18 years, passable form, injured (3 weeks)

A controversial person who is balanced and honest.
Has disastrous experience and passable leadership abilities.

Nationality: Danmark
Assessed value: 123 000 US$
Wage: 1 752 US$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: NE Oklahoma Sidekicks
Warnings: 0

Stamina: disastrous Goaltending: passable
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: disastrous

Which player should I put on the transfer list? Larsson is injured, if you didn't see.

Or should I put both, since I'm $264,000 in debt?

Easy Mac · 03-01-2003, 10:02 PM

Well, Larson is costing you more, and there is a better chance you'll sell him, so I say get rid of Larson and train the other one.

vex · 03-01-2003, 10:03 PM

How much could I get out of Larsson, since he's injured? Before he got injured he was worth $207,000.

Quick question Vexroid: What's your youth team rating right now? Trying to see when I'll be able to pull one like that from my crappy youth system...

Later, FrogMan.

I'm at Passable.

Dola

My previous high was last week's pull. He was valued at $18,000. Before that, my best was $2000. And that was since December 30th.

QuikSand · 03-01-2003, 10:57 PM

For Larsson, fully healthy, you could probably get about $110-120K. With the injury, knock off $10-20K or so, so maybe $100 or a shade higher.

For Gill, you can probably get $20-25k.

If that helps you make up your mind, great. Depends how important your backup is to you. (My thinking is that unless you're training keepers, I'd wait three weeks and sell the passable guy for over $100k)

mrushh · 03-01-2003, 11:06 PM

My youth squad is passable, and I pull wretched.

The only decent pull I ever had was with a crap squad, I got a passable keeper and made 102k. As they say, mostly luck.

I like your advice, I think I will keep Gill and sell Larsson when he heals.

EDIT: I was going to start training Keepers, which is why I have a solid and a passable Keepers, but I figure that I have too many other noticible problems on my team at the moment to train Keepers seeing as how I already have a solid one. Maybe in the future.

If you're going to start training keepers, it's time to start speculating. I was thinking of doing this, personally but decided I'd rather keep training my middies. The easy money is to be made when you train a guy for 1 or 2 weeks and he bumps from passable to solid and you make a quick $150K. It should be easy enough to create a scale of how much value a keeper has before he's going to bump. For instance, a passable form passable keeper about ready to bump will have a value of near $160K (I think) so only buy keepers whose values are $155K and up, watch them bump in a week or two, and sell them so you cut your training time immensely from 5-6 weeks per level to just 1-2.

SI

Besides what QS said . . . at 260 000 in the red, you're far better off selling the one who'd make you more. Especially since this is for your backup. The saving off of lowering the interest ALONE would be more than worth it.

vex · 03-02-2003, 02:59 AM

Yeah, I'm paying 10K in interest right now.
