Here is what the difference looks like 10 years later. It could be as you say missed opportunities but they seem to stack up pretty high but if they think he's average I guess that's possible. Also the "bad" player is now rated 1 star and 4.5 star potential, the "good" one is rated 3.5 and 5 star potential. I have a save game at the start and the one in 2027 if you ever needed them.
Right now I have resorted to editing existing 13-14 year old players of the correct position, nation and potential. That seems to be working good for what I want to do.
