I get Aubamenyang for free in summer of 2021, I'm super stoked, my 20 20 scout tells me he is superb signing sign whatever the price etc, and 6 months later, he joins me, and I dont know he would decline that quick, but he isnt much better then the youngins I have according to them? 
I was like wtf, I gave him near record salary and he is 32. For big clubs thats no big deal, but for atalanta it is, even if I have won back to back trebles with them (or quadruples, won every competition), you dont get that much money (I sold Hateboer for 60m to spurs to cover my expenses, the previous summer sold Gosens for 76m).
Thankfully I gotten chiesa this summer to carry more of the load.

Natural fitness is 16, so he should be fine, but I wasnt expecting this steep decline in estimated ability in just 6 months. Now all coaches think he is backup level.
Maybe because my 18-19 year old starting left winger is that amazing, a brazilian wonderkid called Wonderkid, he is a monster, physical, skillfull.
Btw, whats your squads average age? I'm thinking I maybe made my squad too young lol My average age is 22. Tons of teens. Its either super young, or backup vets in Auba, Gomez, Ilicic (tho he starts half the time still) and Matuidi who I got just a free. All of them are around 33-34 (think auba is 32). Besides all the teens or early 20s, only starter thats over that age is Zapata at 29 (two back to back 42-47 goals seasons, but considering making Esposito the main striker now in this 3rd season). I sold all the OG Atalanta guys who were 28-29 age range, Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, got a combined 120m for them. Been part of CL winning teams makes you overrated apparently, I dont get how I got 60m for Hateboer when he was just backup for me for example (I got why I got 76m for Gosens cuz he was dominating as fvck that season).
I decided to do one more season with Juve as that would be 10 years...this happened first game of the season.
Definitely the biggest league win I've ever had on any CM/FM game. The game itself played out like they do when you play against 11 fake players, it was pathetic. Reggina actually have some decent players - Valencia and Hall are wonderkids on loan from me, for example.
Their keeper gets a 5.7 rating when he saved 20 shots...
The game definitely gets too easy after a certain point, and it's very easy to make money on this by hoarding players.
This is why I play super slow, I'm my third season with Atalanta, in nail space, I dont want to hurry through the seasons to fake regen players I cant stand that breaks immersion. I'm friggin atalanta, and I'm probably gonna win every single trophy possible (only lost 1 european super cup vs arsenal) for 3rd season in a row is my guess with a host of bunch of kids (many of them best wonderkids in the game, Tonali, Bellingham, Beretta, Esposito, Armini, Gravenberch, Talles Magno, Pellegrini, Cherki, Unuvar, Moriba, Aimar Oroz etc).
Both for you @JuveJay and @Gagi since you are so well into the future, can you give me a screenshot of a scottish fullback I bought in beginning of my third season? He super young, like 17-18, and looks really good and cheap to pass up, his name is Aaron Hickey.

why is it that my annual youth intake is always complete garbage. on my 6th season have gotten 1 or 2 players with decent potential, not a single one who is actually good enough to be usable in my first team.
I have petitioned the board to improve the scouting network, network is now considered "exceptional" junior coaching is best in the division across all departments and training facilities are "superb"
meanwhile Inter's youth teams are overflowing with world class regens. I could keep buying Argentines or Lolzillians but non EU rules.

SI have obviously factored in how Juve never produce any youth products, lol.
I'm in my 10th season now and from the players who came from my actual youth intake of note;
Ivan Borello - Italy international starter DC, plays for Lazio
Pierluigi Cordaro - striker with a couple of Italy caps, plays for Milan
That's it. The rest are HGC but were bought from other clubs when 16-17.
Ironically, players from Juve's recent real life youth system such as Kean, Audero, Fagioli, Portanova and Gozzi ended up being very good players.
