Days passed, and now the new pyers had started training. Tomorrow, the third round of the FA Cup will take pce, where they’ll face a fairly strong team: Sheffield Wednesday, which has just been promoted to the Championship.Sheffield pys with a defensive tactic simir to Wigan's — strengthening the defense with a 4-4-2 formation.In the previous match, they managed to beat Bromley, a team currently mid-table in League Two.
Reinhart then looked at the stats of his pyers, which had improved significantly.

Duvant experienced a major increase in his speed and physical stats, but is now more injury-prone. Reinhart then looked at the stats of the rest of the pyers.

Reinhart felt chills seeing these stats — this pyer’s potential even exceeds Lucien’s. Fortunately, they signed Ren a year earlier; otherwise, by age 17 he would’ve been recruited by a Spanish second-division team where he showcased his quality as a future world-css defender. While he may not match the two best young defenders of his generation, he is undoubtedly an incredible signing with special potential and skills.

Midfield Captain – Controls the tempo from the center line
Reinhart thought to himself:“How talented is Min Sung to be able to spot such potential? Almost every pyer he brought in has a potential above 90.”
Name: Leandro CostamonteteAge: 20Position: GKPotential: 93Rating: 84Speed: 83 / 86Physical: 82 / 91Technique: 87 / 103Skills:
Guardian’s Grip – Incredible reflexes for difficult saves
Zero Gap – Closes the near post tightly and quickly
Captain
This pyer even has three skills usually only avaible to those with a 95+ potential. The most interesting is Captain, indicating he has the mentality and ability to lead.
Then Reinhart’s eyes turned to the two pyers he discovered himself. Somehow, the shadow of his former self didn’t feel present anymore. With Cassandra still by his side, the feeling of developing pyers with his new skill became a personal passion.His old self — the one without any special skill — would’ve never picked Lucien, Eden, Mike, Harry, or Mathias. He only trusted market value. But now, saving those who were destined to fail and bringing them this far brought him deep satisfaction.

Future Superstar
Once again, Reinhart felt joy — he had saved this promising pyer’s future. After all, it was incredibly difficult to find high-potential pyers, even among the 24 teams in League Two. Most were older and likely couldn’t reach their full potential anymore.Only a few young talents remained: Takefusa Kato, Owen, and Decn. That’s why Reinhart was willing to sign them, even if it came at a cost.
Because they can pursue their full potential.
Even in League One teams like Wigan and Bolton, which Reinhart once faced, there were no pyers with a potential rating above 90. This shows how rare high-potential pyers truly are. It also highlights how extraordinary the Appraisal skill is, as Reinhart has, indirectly, built the strongest team where the average pyer possesses both high potential and a high rating.
Then after Decn, he looked at Owen's stats, which were just as impressive.
Name: Owen ValerioAge: 16Position: All PositionsPotential: 95Rating: 81
Speed: 81 / 95
Physical: 81 / 95
Technique: 81 / 95
Skill:
Jack of All Trades: Can fill any gap but isn’t a specialist.Special Note: A failed pyer because he was considered unable to fulfill any specific role.
This Pyer actually has potencial beyond 95. But this pyer more dangerous then his rating.
Then Reinhart's eyes nded on the most expensive pyer he ever bought. He remembered a short striker with a strong and stocky build. This pyer was extremely hard to stop due to his high speed and body bance — especially his individual skills and terrifying leg power. He was also the one who once partnered with Park in Real Madrid's front line. A Brazilian pyer who brought back the Jogobonito era.
A striker who finished third in the Ballon d'Or and won it the following season. Also one of the top 11 future youth generation pyers.
Luckily, Reinhart remembered him and asked Min Sung to investigate, and thankfully, it wasn’t too te. At 16, his market value had already reached €30 million due to his insane performance at Palmeiras, repcing Octavio (who was bought by Real Madrid) and Bruno Mares (who was injured in the second half of the season), which gave him pying time.
Although negotiating with this pyer was very difficult due to Bradford being in the fourth tier, with high sary emphasis and additional incentives, he became interested. That’s why he is currently the highest-paid pyer at Bradford City, earning €6,000. However, that is clearly a bargain compared to his true value.
Name: Vitor RaxaelAge: 15Position: CFPotential: 101Rating: 83
Speed: 78 / 101
Physical: 86 / 101

Street Flow Control: An artistic but effective street-style of py. Unorthodox ball control but always on target.
Phantom Dash: A powerful mix of speed and body feints. If defenders lose focus for a second, he’s already in a dangerous position.
Special Notes:

One of the highest potential pyers
Future Superstar
After seeing Vitor’s stats, Reinhart realized that if a pyer has a potential of 101, they are one of the best and rarest prospects to find. Even a pyer with 90 potential is hard to come by — let alone 100.
But Reinhart’s shock didn’t stop with Vitor — it came when he saw the 13-year-old introduced by Min Sung. Deep in his memory, there was no pyer named Bakali. But they were incredibly lucky to get him. Reinhart couldn’t thank Min Sung and his Appraisal skill enough, as they had once again saved the future of a young talent.

One of the highest potential pyers
Future Superstar
A pyer whose career was ruined by his agent’s greed (but successfully prevented).
However, there was one pyer Reinhart found very strange. The reason he called him up from the youth team was precisely because of this oddity. The fastest pyer currently at Bradford.

Meteor Flick: Bizarre flicks or first touches that unch into quick sprints. Opponents won’t have time to react.
Special Notes:
Potential fastest pyer
A pyer whose true potential is unknown
Future Superstar
For more than half a season, Reinhart struggled to measure Harry’s maximum potential. He even pced him in various positions to try and find it. It's extremely rare—or possibly unheard of—for a pyer to not dispy their potential. Only Harry is like this. But in terms of speed, no one can match him — especially with his horse-like stamina and high fighting spirit. Still, his potential rating never appeared. What’s really going on with this pyer?
However, Reinhart then shifted his focus because there was no way yet to determine Harry’s true potential.
Finally, his attention turned to the academy pyers now promoted to the first team.

They are also great as backups for the main team. Bradford has developed tremendously. From a team on the brink of relegation, they’ve become a top contender with many future star pyers.
Now, the training facility is much better than before, thanks to record-breaking income from pyer transfers totaling €7 million.
That money was used to recruit more administrative staff to ease the workload of Cassandra and Reina. They now have a rger PR and Marketing team.
Training has become much more effective as supporting facilities are now high-quality and sufficient.
After reviewing the pyers’ statuses and their training, Reinhart then spoke with Beatrice to discuss tactics for the match against Sheffield Wednesday.
Without realizing it, match day had finally arrived.
