International Selection Pool w/ Academy Kids

[ShaggyUte]

Did I just find out a way to view my academy kids overalls way in advance?

I didn't seen this comment anywhere so sorry if it's been pointed out before.

I took the Bolivia National job and they have a small, crappy pool to choose from. Less then 30 players I think. I have no idea how long I will coach the team but I decided to send my youth scout their to find talent that I might be able to use instead of the players they give me in the pool.

I noticed all the kids in my academy and all my rejects show up in my pool of players to use. I haven't signed any of the academy kids to my senior squad yet but It lets me pick them for my international team.

I'm a little worried this might mess up my MM since they technically aren't suppose to be players yet but I was curious so I made a separate save.


I have a kid named Ju Tae Ruyssen (17) 5'8" 163 lbs Lefty. overall is between 65-73 and potential is 79-89 ( started off as 78-94). In my International pool selection screen it already shows me his overall score which is a 70 overall.

I have another guy that is between 55-65 overall and it lists him as a 58.

I wish I had an earlier save to check out how accurate the overall number is when I sigh a barely scouted player and sign him up to the academy. I'm curious to see if the number given is accurate or goes up or down depending on my scouting.

Yes it's known, but i heard from someone that using them could potentially stunt their growth. Not 100% if that is correct tho
