I won the Lottery Well kinda

I know the academy system is kind of like a lottery and is brilliantly explained at the FML Analyst blog you have a clear choice. Get 16 kind of ok youths in an obscure nation or chance your arm in one of the big nations and have a chance of a future mega star.

I was looking really to just have a youth team and hopefully one or two would be decent enough to come through. Of course there is always a chance in an obscure nation that you'd get high potential but more likely you'd get 2.5 - 3.5 star potential players through.

For that reason I took the safe bet and chose Libya, hardly a footballing mega nation but if a 3 star comes through with the right hidden stats then happy days.

I got four the first season (none this season) and they all looked a bit rubbish. There was one though that I looked at and though well he could go well.

I started him out on the wing and he isn't really that sort of player so tried him in the middle. He's a little demon!

You keep saying you have a Libyan academy. You don't! You've a Liberian academy!

That's Liberia :)

He looks like a useful player though, could have a role as a playmaker in the future.

Jak, it's Liberia.
And George Weah was from there.
And this guy looks quite the player, especially for youth level.
