Benicio Baker-Boaitey

Club - West Ham United

Age - 16

Position - Winger

Transfer links - Bayern, Benfica, PSG etc.

Benicio is the new sought after English talent who has interested numerous clubs around Europe.

He plays on the wing and has a huge depth of skills to beat his opponents, currently plays for West Ham and England at youth level.

Found it hard to find any substantial videos of him apart from this one on a five a side pitch messing around, nothing impressive:

I will keep an eye on how he develops wether he moves abroad or not and keep everyone posted.

 

SM rating - N/A

Value - N/A

 

Benicio Baker-Boaitey (16) joins Porto to become the second Englishman within a week to join the Portuguese outfit (Danny Loader)

Very excited to see how he improves his game learning at the Portuguese giants.

I didn't know that Ngakia joined Watford, so... keep or sell him? (I'm in a game world with all small clubs and I'm a bit lack of money now).

Keep if you have patience, but the Championship is only reviewed in March so you'd have to wait some time (maybe wait and see if he plays regularly at the start of season).

[JAMancini 188]

Luis Alberto and Gnabry with the same rate 92 🤕

[gyanthecat 821]

Funny enough, I predicted a +1 both for Luis Alberto and SMS on my spreadsheet, but then I canceled it because I thought it was a little bit too much. But in the end... well done SM!

Also for Lazio, Luiz Felipe +1 was quite stretched IMO, but then he even got a +2.

And for Roma, Mancini didn't get any, so they are both 89 now... And Pau Lopez, the same.

It was quite a derby these two days, but at least now we know which side SM supports!  

[jlammy 144]

+1 for Milinkovic Savic surprised me. 

Lazio with some very generous rises, despite finishing 4th in a two horse title race. 

[erdingerpfc 41]

Desperately looking for striker at least 86 with chance of rise but no more than 3m worth...some suggestions? Finances didn't go for me as expected

[olivier 1 3,758]

OFF-TOPIC: SM still do this random cash injections at the start of a new season or have they stopped this terrible idea? 

[topofthebilly 301]

I know it is difficult to predict goalkeepers , but would you say Manuel Neuer is playing like a 93 and will he keep it till the end of 2020 ?

 

(For some reason the new layout does not let me change letter size . Annoying .)

El Ghazi, Simon Moses, Gonzalo Pacienca, Habib Diallo??

Jarrod Bowen 85 rated but +1 to 86 shortly

Keep, I think he joined Watford to play first team football so I would imagine he gets game time next season.

Jay Rodriguez has a chance, not sure if his drop in January might effect him getting a rise though.

SM did this with Thomas Muller which is widely known on the forum, this is an example but on a much bigger scale.

Yeah, signed a new contract with Bayern and I would expect him to still be first choice next season, Nubel might takeover the season after.

[alfredobe90 16]

Since Luis Alberto (7 goals, 17 assists, 4rd place, EL Groupe Stage) rose to 92, it would be embarassing if Papu Gomez (8 goals, 18 assists, 3rd pace, UCL QFs) stayed at 91. Also, Lautaro +1 to 92 is locked at this point.

[Hrodulf 140]

Roma was hard done.  More - than + it feels like.  You’d think they played like Lazio since the restart... but then Lazio did play like Lazio and SM rewarded them.  

[BrodiePT 75]

Since they gave Luiz Felipe a +2 to 89 do you guys think Bastoni has a chance to get a +4 also to 89?

Amongst the EPL sides, I'd say McBurnie and Bowen

Lazio were very much a third horse before the pandemic hit, that cost them the momentum which proved costly. Even then they still finished five points behind Juve.

Now I know both teams dropped many points towards the end of the season but Juve weren't convincing at all this year and benefitted from the inconsistencies of their rivals. Having three chasing teams who were really good but not good enough played into their hands, sadly.

I think that would be excessive, Felipe is a few years ahead of Bastoni in his career age wise.

Bastoni also played in just 25 of the 38 leagues games this season which shouldn't get him even 88 imo. Got a +2 in December and another +2 would be good.

Then if he is a regular next year, +1 and +1 to 89.

It depends on how poorly rated your squad is compared to the rest of the teams in the division. Normally only get it if you got promoted into a league with much bigger teams. Same for increasing your grounds capacity, if you go up usually there are bigger grounds in the new league, so slowly yours grows to match

Interesting . Maybe you also know what it looks for ? Like how much cash you have , or total team worth , average of x highest rated of your team , average of all players owned .... ?

ive no problem if they grow the grounds capacity, but sometimes some teams got 30M cash injection from the board, which i find completely unfair. But it has been a long time i have seen it tbh

Sadly no, I have tried in the past to sell off my best rated players when the season was over, ended up cash rich and no cash injection. Never got around to trying it the other way around, but like another person said, havent seen cash injection on any of my teams for a while, one (hartlepool) gets a bigger ground each year but still one of the smallest in the top flight

But did you get promoted when you tried that ?

i do not think there is a cash injection for teams who dont promote to a higher league .

You need to have no money in the bank or negative. Your team needs to be weaker in value that your competitors. Good luck
