Hi all,
Just would like to share my regens for Arsenal so far. Do share what you think
The english lads came from my academy, the rest I bought for relatively cheap prices.
Not convinced by Gelli ; his lack of pace will make it hard to get past a man and i'd want his longshots/finishing much higher.
Ishii looks promising; good aerobic + stamina, high aggression/determination/workrate to want to defend, good ratings in heading/marking. His tackling is low but shouldn't be a problem with some individual training focuss.
Takase looks weaker at first glance... No chance in the air, and doesn't excell anywhere mentally nor technically. His stats aren't distributed that badly tho; it's a matter of how much they will increase. With higher values in dribbling/crossing/passing, lower jumping/workrate/aggression, i think he will be a much more offensive fullback than Ishii.
Maciuca doesn't look good to me. Mainly because to me CM is about bossing the other team. That's just how i play tho... To me he severely lacks "bossing-around" qualities, physically, mentally and technically.
Naudts is top-class. If you develop this guy he will definately become a starter CB. If possible, get him a good tutor with high determination and a good personality.
Somers is lacking to be topclass. He'll turn out OK, but he doesn't bring anything offensively, and he won't excell defensively.
Lebroton looks excellent; in my experience most GK respawns are specialists, but he looks to have it all covered; good physique; all the right mental stats; top reflexes + good one on one, good in the air... How much for him?
Blackwell is something special. Never seen a striker with 20 bravery before. Expect to see some crazy 6-yard box challenges & goals from him. This physique at 15 will develop just fine. His game won't be pretty. He won't be the guy looking to make crazy plays and dribble 3 players before lobbing the goalie. His mission is simple: "drop ball in 20 yd box not on defender's head, i make goal wherever it lands".
Makela looks like he's halfway between full-back and centre-back. Won't be as much of a force in the air as i like CB's to be. Won't have the pace/workrate to go up and down the pitch the way i like a FB to do. He'll be OK at both, but he's not specialised at either.
Collin, now that's what i'd put on my CM
. This guy balances defensive prowness to boss opponent technical lightweights to a good pass + technique. Stopping opponent plays & setting forward plays in motion when we recover it is what i want from CM's. He lacks longshot so "prefers pass rather than score" is great. His overall good physical attributes is also what i like; CM's dont need 18+ in anything, but they need 15+ in everything, which Collin will have.
Götz has truly insane aerobic levels for a 16y old. It would be very interesting to see how this guy develops. I've never seen this aerobic on a 16y old. Most of his other stats are average. I guess this guy will do everything (defensive and offensive) at a decent level, with insane aerobics.
Brooker is all over the place. High crossing/firsttouch/passing/technique, but no dribbling to ever actually go past a man. High tackling, but no bravery whatsoever, and no marking. No longshots, no teamwork, which tend to be usefull for any midfielder. Great physique tho. I dont like this guy; his skillset is all over the place = he lacks key attributes to play any position.
Gil is hard to say. My guess would be he'll excell at running to balls dropped behind the opponent defence, running it to goal in a straight line, and blasting it in. A real specialist.
. France's regens have been disappointing so far. Most of their decent regens are all defensive midfielders. Same for Spain. 
And Oteiza is possibly my best bargain ever on any FM. Got him for a compensation fee and is now rated 4.5 stars at 18 years old
