Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Would disagree that a players peak years are 23-29, but a good read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Would disagree that a players peak years are 23-29, but a good read.I agree to an extentI think it depends on the type of player - some pacey players do peak at around 23-25 but generally 28 is about the peak age I think of - though its really down to the individual.GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 1,114 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Interesting read but it'll be more informative to see how they are performing within a MW organised team by the end of August. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I know it's a small point but I laughed at he stat that MW has doubled the value of the squad he inherited - given 1- had left he doubled its value by doubling the number of players ! ?

bgally 452 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The bit i liked was the squad value going from 2.7 mill to 6.8 mill for an outlay of 600,000.That sounds like good business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they specify which player's value doubled overnight and why? Was their value too low on Monday and then correct on Tuesday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Disagree with this but enjoyed reading.Everybody knows different players and positions peak at different times. I would say 27 for a striker, 28 for a midfielder and 29 for a defender.They need to mature physically and learn their trade for many years. Messi is at his peak while ronaldo is at the end of his sadly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I like this approach. He does see footballing value in older players and will play them, but the emphasis on signing young and hungry players is the way forward. Older players would normally demand higher wages or large signing on fees. Unless these players are going to make a real difference to your success or you can make a good deal financially, there is not much point in pursuing them. Not in the position we are in ATM.
