Default You'll Never Win Anything With Kids

East Stirling 2005-2014
6.0.3 patch, running Scottish and English leagues, large database.

This is the career where I undertook the policy of buying only kids. In the first year I limited myself to under-18s, in the second to under-19s and so on until I set a ceiling of 21.

2005/06 Scottish Third Division – 1st.
In the first season we got off to a slow start and were dumped out of all the cups as soon as we met higher-level opposition. In the Scottish FA Cup that involved a 0-7 thrashing by Celtic (that was the half-time score). That game actually sealed our future since with the half-million quid takings I invested in putting the whole squad on full-time contracts, bringing in more coaches and upgrading the training facilities.

By the half-way point of the season my regular starting line-up entirely comprised my youth acquisitions and they were bonding well, listing each other as their favourite personnel and most of them putting me (daddy!) up there too. With the division being incredibly tight we were able to put a late run together which took us from the lower reaches to the title in the last two months.

I hope you're prepared for the "unrealistic" posts, andy

Why is this post in LLM and not in the StupidIdeasForum?

Two strikes in one post from a more or less regular. Nice. whre is this world coming to?

Ad 1. Unrealistic. Sure, there are managers that prefer youth to experience, but even they sign "elder" players. I am one of them in FM.

Ad 2. Breaking three season rule. i think that is self explanatory enough.

My advice. Please review the forum header and post an update after three seasons or play as you like, but don't tell us.

What about the GPG/TT work, Kov? That one surprised me, of xure.

For the record I too am a buyer of youngsters. Only because anyone over 24 that will sign for me likely has only one leg or thinks football players mostly use their hands, not feet.

He's been a fairweather LLaMa at best. I wouldn't have considered him a regular at any point, other than to pop in and add his two cents now and then.

I don't think Andy has done anything wrong, he has been a regular on the forum for a while and if he wants to limit himself to kids then fine.
He is playing to the LLM guidelines, although without the total realism that we prefer.
I have noticed a tendency for a lot of the younger LLaMas to have teams with an average age much less than 24 which I would find totally unrealistic.
