How did this player end up on this team? He was never drafted, he has never been sold except to and from the team that currently owns him. Is it possible to start with a player this good?

I would assume that the manager started with him as an 18yo C with HoF potential and rightly began to train him. I do not see what is so shocking about this besides the fact that the manager has yet to sell him.

I already made a thread on this playing if you didn't see it But yes it is pretty shocking. This playing is in my league, so i get to play against him

He plays too many minutes though. Probably why his manager has been stuck in Div 5 for so long. Rest of his team is pretty useless.

Obviously this is not a good strategy(and I would not be TOO surprised if it was a farm team, but I doubt it). He will not go far with this, maybe if he maintains GS on his stud he could promote into DIV, but he will quickly demote back into DV.

I think he can afford it simple because of his boost in merchandise and if you look at how many seats he has in his arena... Maybe not though. He has to do it somehow, considering he has an 100k player on his team

Not shocking?! Where can you find a team that

1.) has a HOF 18 year old in their starting group of scrubs.
2.) has known enough to train that player from the start.
3.) does not know enough to manage gameshape so that the National Team will look at him.

I don't think there are too many of them out there. Not saying impossible, but rare.

often 1 leads to 3, who would lead the scout to help then with 2. Also the principle to train the youngest player, isnt that bb specific or weird that you didn't figure it out himself.
