How things change. Still has a chance but it is tight.
He moved to Roma and although playing 1000mins in Serie A is impressive given how much that League hates youth players it's not really enough to push him up. It's looking like Junior should win it by Christmas assuming he's a first teamer next Season as the others aren't playing enough.

Didn't we start the 2nd mid way through the 1st?
Ah feck. So it was. Exactly two years ago today.

No chance. Hakimi has it in my opinion. Playing loads for Dortmund and should be there next season. Kean with a shot if it goes to next summer.

For me it's CHO, Badiashile and maybe James if he can break into the Chelsea team next year. Would have put Malacia in there too but after he got injured he hasn't managed to get back into the team.

I suppose we could go for Rto90 III
I'd rather wait until one of the current crop hit 88 like what happened with Jesus. He was closer to getting 90 at the time than the current crop are (he ended up going to 89 in May and 91 in Dec). Current crop seems like 90 is more likely to happen next summer unless Kean somehow jumps to 88 at end of season despite playing 300 minutes up until now then gets 90 in December. My reluctance for there to be a third one at the moment is mostly for selfish reasons due to having no players I'm confident in but looks like the energy is there for a third one to start now.

Fire it up. I can compete this time, Angel Gomes was my best one at the last time. Greenwood or João Filipe aka Jota.

Michael Obafemi
Feels like he's been around much longer.

My best XI of U21s (in terms of playing time/prospects)

No keeper :(

Yan Valery (20/75) Ibrahima Konate (19/85) Malang Sarr (20/87) Kieran Tierney (21/87)
Sander Berge (21/86)
Ridle Baku (20/82) No third midfielder
Cengiz Under (21/89) Kylian Mbappe (20/93) Vinicius Junior (18/87)​

Other players:
Enes Unal (21/87) - CF
Panagiotis Retsos (20/87) - CB
Dario Maresic (19/82) - CB
Diogo Leite (20/82) - CB
Konstantinos Mavropanos (21/82) - CB
Ivan Erquiaga (21/80) - LB
Lyle Foster (18/75) - CF
Eddy Salcedo (17/73) - CF
Sergino Dest (18/70) - RB
Ferhat Cogalan (16/68) - AM


Real lack of midfielders there. greeny probably has the best actual XI

Thinking of selling a few of my older Cup players to sign a few more gems. Have a bit of a gap, I seem weaker in the 17/18 age group.

No @Wino1 not a good idea.

In other unrelated news, Hereford agree to sign Vincenzo Millico from Torino. The 18 year old who's scored 24 times in Primavera 1 for Torino was part of the senior squad the other weekend.
