Alot of non league teams are full of 18-19-20 yr olds who didnt make it, loads of non league teams will be full of old ex professional players and players who were let go by the professional teams.

They HAVE to pay him because IRL you build around pitching.

I simply made a mistake should have kept Carlton Cole and not bought Heskey.

Are there many cases of players failing early yet going on to success?

From the rules -
You can play 1 transfer wild card a season. All transfers made in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points deduction. You play your wild card when confirming transfers

Btw, the only change I made was bringing in Kevin Doyle of Reading for LuaLua, who is injured, and switched to a 4-3-3.

Just checked; he signed a 4 year deal in February 2005 with us. At least he'll be around for a while.

Well, I wasted my wild card getting Rooney's replacement then.

Ian Wright springs to mind he was old football wise when he got in the big time, trying to think of others, sdpm is our stat guy he'd probably come up with more.

That's more of a historian question, rather than a stat question.

There is someone in my mind, but I can't pluck his name to the front of my mind at the moment.

It does mention the players who are out on your team page (the little red 'i') - click on that and it loads up the player card.

****, Barrow losing 3-0 at home to Harrogate tonight. Man, they are heading for the drop the way they are playing...

Its dangerous to make transfers out of expediency because player values are always in flux and I'm concerned I wont be able to get my players back

Would there not be some of the Liverpool players in the 70's 80's not fall into this, Liverpool never relied on kids around then did they.
