I didnt say that. I buy Depor players, of the same position as my youngsters, in deals which involve trading player as well as cash.

For example, I picked up Sanz, a DMF as a 17 year old youth player, as well as Hofu, the 17 year old regen of Cocu's evil twin. I already had Bos and Muntari as my DMF's. As Bos was younger (and better) than Muntari, I decided to keep him. Hofu starts off better than Sanz, so he stayed in my team. So I brought two obscure Depor midfielders, with the deals involving Muntari and Sanz going the other way. Then the week after, I released the Depor players.

Can we keep this on topic please - you should discuss this more in the ML thread (it actually sounds like an interesting idea).

I checked out Makalamby again today, and he probably should be on the list. I'll add him now.

Oh yeah, and Sneijder is already on there .

Sneijder's development curve isn't that good, is it?

Goes up past the yellow on most ML's. Plus, he has loads of unique attributes like his 8's for weak foot stats which make him very versatile, so he is definitely one of the best youngsters on the game.

Glezalaz (Spelling??) is a good SMF. is right footed and has good power. very good gorwth curve as well

yeah, you're right about Sneijder. he does have some unique attributes, the weak foot acc and freq are very useful and his freekicks are really really good.

but on my ML his curve only just in the yellow, which i don't find very good

Yeah, thats about average for him. Even without his uniqueness I would probably have put him in on the strength of his curve (I consider into the yellow to be good, since only a few very talented youngsters will get to the red).

Abate from AC Milan is very good too. Beats Cordozo in my opinion.

Costil as a GK. I don't remember which club he's from. His graph is similar to Lewis. Lewis peaks at 23 but goes down at 26. Costil peaks at 26 but goes down in his mid 30s.

If you could find which club Costil is at it would be great. I'll check out Abate, btw.

yeah, that's what i thought Tez.
Baumjohaan has the best development curve in the game for a non-secret player

I was just wondering, how do you know if a player has a good development curve? i cant seem to find how to spot it.

thanks

You have to buy them before you can see their curve so there isnt a way you can tell really before you have them.
