Fran has had a good start to his career as Villarreal. Despite not playing a league match for the first team, he has played in 4 cup games, and scored his first goal for the club. He has played a few games in the reserves, and has been banging them in when he wants, scoring 7 in 5 games in non-competitive action. He will be hoping to make his league debut soon, and break into the first team. Villarreal are lying in an average 12th place just over half way through the season.

Joe Timms has had a fairly successful first 6 months of his career. He has turned professional after signing a 3 year contract in which he will be paid just under 5K per week. His agent Nuno Meneses who is the agent of big names such as Ramires and Angel Di Maria now owns 5% of him after Sporting accepted a huge offer of 950K. He obviously believes in him. He has played 9 games for Sporting, 6 of which as ST, rather than his favourable LW. Hopefully he can continue to progress.

McBalls has had a quiet but good start to his footballing career. Despite not playing in the league for Porto yet, he is playing regularly for the U19s. Like Joe Timms, McBalls' agent David Marchesse now owns 5% of him after agreeing a fee of just over 600K, which is very large for a 17 year old who is yet to play a league game. Porto are performing well in the league, and McBalls will hope to contribute more in the near future.

James Hall has had an average start to his footballing career. I was hoping that he could break into the Leeds United first team, however he has only featured in 4 league games and hasn't performed anywhere near to how he can. Leeds are lying in 13th, hopefully James Hall will be able to contribute more than he has done so far, and possibly help Leeds to challenge for a play-off place.

Jack has had a fairly good start to his career. He has played in 14 games in the league, despite 11 being off the bench. He has only scored 2 goals however, and he will hope to improve in this as he grows. Udinese are struggling in 19th place in the Serie A, falling way short of expectations. Hopefully he will get some more games from the start and be able to help Udinese out of the relegation zone.

Greg has had a quiet but good start to his career. He is yet to play in Chelsea's first team, however he has playing regularly for the Reserve squads and has scored 16 in 45 games. Hopefully he will continue to develop well if he is exposed to as much football as he currently is.

Yosef David has had a good 6 months to begin his career. He has signed a professional contract, and has also become Wolsfburg's youngest ever player at the age of 16 years and 339 days. His great start to his career has however been marred by a catalogue of injuries. The most recent of which will keep him out for around 3 months and therefore the rest of the season. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of a career destroyed by injuries.

Ivan has had a brilliant start to his career. He has played regularly for Spartak Moscow in the first team, and has helped the team into 2nd place in the league. He has played mostly as a DM, but has also played a few games as an ST and has already scored a few! Adding to this, he has achieved his first award already, Ivan is the Russian Young Player of the Year.

Daniel Murley's young career has been full of highs and lows. He was immediately placed into Bradford's first team, with Bradford deciding to sell their other main LB James Meridith to Hibernian. He was destroying League 1 with average ratings of around 8.00. He even earn't League 1 young player of the month for August, his first month of professional football! until a knee injury ruined his season, which will keep him out for around 5 months in total and most of the season. Hopefully he won't suffer to badly and will return to play at his previous level. Since his injury Bradford have slipped to 17th place.

He has scored 6 and assisted 12 in all competitions, while playing mostly on the Left Wing He has the second most assists in the Skrill Premier, on his way to helping Woking to 3rd in the league so far. Hopefully he can drag them to promotion at the end of the season. Another thing to note is that Roberts is yet to sign a professional contract, surely a big club is just around the corner if he keeps playing like this..

Diego Fernandez has had a relatively good start to his career, featuring in 4 games in Fiorentina's first team. However he has only started one, so his main goal will probably be to start more in the second half of the season. Fernandez definitely looks the best player currently..

No one is interested, but I think he's considering a move away from Woking.

Ivan has arguably had the best first season. His attributes have improved, noticably his acceleration is improving a lot. He has helped guide Spartak to 2nd in the Russian League, coming close to beating Zenit at the end. He has made 6 appearances for the Russian U21 team as well. Spartak also managed to reach the Second Knockout Round in the Europa League. I expect he will continue his progression at Spartak next season, both in Europe and in the Russian League.

He has been Woking's been attacking threat all season long, ending the season with 10 goals and 18 assists, superb for his first season. He has also made 4 U21 caps for Wales. Despite falling in the table to 8th, a successful season for Woking who were predicted to finish 20th. He has been attracting the interest of huge English clubs, such as Chelsea and Liverpool, and a move away from Woking looks inevitable.

The young Argentine has had a good first season at Fiorentina. After destroying the reserves, he has made 8 appearances in the first team, contributing with a goal. He has made 6 U21 Caps for Argentina. He needs to become stronger and work on his mentals, however I am sure he has a great future ahead. I expect him to have a very similar year next season at Fiorentina.

Despite a bad injury, Yosef David has had a great first season. Despite a lack of first team appearances, he's played well for the reserves team. The highlight of his year will no doubt be making his debut for the USA. If he escapes injury next year I expect him to have a very good year making a lot of progress.

A fairly dissapointing season for Thomas, simply due to his lack of appearances. He has performed well in the reserves and would've hoped to have made more than 3 appearances in the league this season. He has however scored 3 goals in 4 U21 apps for Belgium. Hopefully he will have more of a chance next season, so he can show his ability to the best clubs in the world.

Daniel Murley would've thought his season was over after he was diagnosed with a knee injury that would keep him out for 5 months. However he returned just in time for the last few games of the season. Bradford won 9 of their last 10 games in the league in order to rise from the lower half of the table to scrape into the play-offs. They went on to win, with Murley being a key reason as to why they have now been promoted to The Championship. Murley will now be able to showcase his talent at a higher level. However with big clubs including Man City and Liverpool it looks like he's on the move away from Bradford.

He is one of the top scorers in the English U18s. A great season, it looks like he is set to go on loan for some first team football next season.

A fairly good season for Joe Timms as Sporting CP. He played 5 games in the league, and 7 in cup competitions. He has been played as a ST rather than his preferred position LW, due to the amount of players they have who can play on either wings. They managed to finish 3rd in the league, which is what was expected of them, meaning Champions League qualification. However they were some way off the big two, Benfica and Porto. Hopefully he will be able to contribute more to the first team next season.

He is fighting for positions with players such as Parejo and Quintero, so it's not going to be easy for him. Hopefully he can make some more first team apps for Porto, otherwise a move away from the Portuguese giants looks the best option.
