First post on FM-Base so thanks in advance for any help!
I am currently playing with Arsenal and sitting 13 points clear at the top of the league on 3rd March, have managed to beat Man City in the Carling Cup final (!) and now focusing on progressing in the FA Cup and CL.
The fixture list has been brutal and after a string of first team injuries (Podolski, Arteta, Kyriakos, Koscienly, Wellington Nem, Walcott and Chamberlain are all out for next 2-3 weeks), have had to resort to calling up 2 star potential youth team players. Whilst they didn't set the world on fire, a few players did quite well and my question is, how far can you trust youth team players that don't have the same mental, technical and physical stats to be considered average first team players? Anyone been in a similar position?
I have a tricky 5th round replay coming up with Middelsborough and not sure if I can pull another fast one like the 1-0 win at Stoke (fairly convincing as well with 72% possession), or whether the game will pull me up on this approach and punish me!
Players in question are Watt, Ebecillo and Daniel Boateng :S
