Youth Academy
Division 5:14, Xtreme League
Manager: Seglarkungen
Ruined plans all over, what now?
The massive disappointment in the CR has passed and the management has done some massive realignment of plans since the update.

First of all, Gunnar Bartel being a 10.5 not showing as 11 skilled is a complete disaster. The last few decimal points are screwing up the economic progression massively. The same goes for Ove Gjutenberg being .4 in his skill span. Both will be evaluated a few rounds into the season to see if they could DJ or if they will be sold as under evals.

The second massive disappointment are the two strikers that after a decent and a great CR has failed to DJ with both being very high in their skillbands. The plan to sell both and replace with a mentor has had to go out the window and both should DJ easily this season. This puts the entire front end of the team in a situation where mentors are lacking impacting everyone's development. Hopefully, form can be kept high enough that this becomes a minor issue.

Third, the team is stuck with two goalies with chance to DJ. This is somewhat mitigated by one of them being able to play d/mf/St to gain some experience but it is still not smart to keep both. The management, however, feels like they have to try.

On a positive note, roughly 20M will still be brought to the coffers through sales of talent and the new guys are a mix of guys with visible skills and hard trainers who should fetch a decent price in a season or two. Depending on Bartel and Gjutenberg one or two defence talents might be sold halfway through the season hoping to gain a few econs on them as underevals.

Luckily for the slightly too large squad, the first cup opponent should be a be easily conquered giving some extra experience. The premiere is on Friday and the team is prepared with decent form for it!
