Youngsters with 160+ fixed PA

The title is pretty self explanatory. This is a filtered search of players 21 years old or younger with a fixed PA higher than 160, sorted by Potential Ability. Here's the list:

I'm sure Smithies has been rated around 160 for the past 4 years.

Maybe it's just me, but I think SI were pretty stingy with PAs this year. Couple that with the fact that most good prospects already play in big clubs, it looks like investing in regens will again be the way to go for smaller sides.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want a new Tsigalko, but a few low profile high potential players would be nice.

This is a pretty poor list. Neymar should be up above 185, Wilshere should be in the 180's, Rafael should have at least an equal PA to Phil Jones, Jack Rodwell and Kyle Walker deserve much better than 165 each, and from Cleverly's recent performances, he merits a 170. I am a United fan, may be a little biased, but whatever.

Look at Welbeck's PA. He broke into Man Utd starting line-up and it's only -8. Macheda also has -8 but it is understandable, because his progress has stalled. Overall, I think almost all United players are underrated.

Ramsey should be nowhere near -10. And I don't know how Thiago is not -10.

So Canales gets a massive decrease.
Have to say that I hating this so far.

The thing is with Canales he isn't playing regular first team football with madrid till he went on loan to valencia i think they go by if he the player is playing regular first team football

yo guys i buy young players and my scouts telll me their quality etc however when I place them in my youth system in 2 yrs or so the reports tell me that there a fairly good player these means that ive flopped the youngsters, but how? help?

Assistant reports depend on the quality of the rest of your players that play in the same position too. Meaning, if you bring some better starters in the meantime, your youngsters will now be compared to those and their star rating will drop in comparison.


Of course, if you haven't noticed any significant improvement and their stats actually show they've flopped, it could be owed to a few different reasons: low Ambition stat, not enough match practice, sub-par training facilities / coaches assigned to name some.
