So hypothetically, given that the new changes in game, 19 year olds can have a higher starting skill set (to 8 instead of 7). A season ago I would have never went with a 19 year old, but the change has me at least considering it. Who would you choose?



Poll:  Which of the following would be your choice:
18 Year Old: Skills: A+, 5 ball Potential: 4 ball
19 Year Old: Skills: A+ 5 ball Potential: 5 ball

I'm still not clear on the rules. If the 18y and 19y have the same skills, will they both be A+? If there is a second 19y old, better than these two, he's also A+?

For example centers

7/7
7/7 in primary skills

And third guy

8/8
8/8

By far the 19 year old.
Will be a way better player.

Agreed. It might have been a tougher choice before changes were introduced, but right no it seems no-brainer to me. You can still cap the 19yo MVP potential player

I think the bigger question would be which do you take:
18yo 4 star 5 pot
19yo 5 star 5 pot

thoughts?

I would take 18yo (at least before changes). 14 weeks of training can net you 10 pops (not sure what the difference between 19yo 5 star and 18yo 4 star is though), and you can actually chose where to put them

I guess this is where the scouting of skills can be real helpful. If you can use 3+ scouts (6 skills) then I think you could get a fair idea of the others based on grade rating and position?

would much rather a well rounded 4 ball 18yo then a 5 ball 19yo with no secondaries.
