Sorry for deleting the post, I had to go before completing it, so I published it and deleted after 10 seconds so I can copy paste it and continue when I return. here it is anyway:
Well well, interesting argument with 3 match-ups:
Dedekind vs Lagat/Thibedaux, I think that strongly depends on the team, to a team with no striker NEAR their level, Dedekind is probably quite worse than Lagat/Thibedaux. As in the time he won't play it's a big dis-advantage also Thibedaux/Lagat are bit better even if Dedekind wouldn't have the super-sub, so when the bonus is activated, he becomes bit better than them but not by that much. I said the difference isn't that that big here, since both eventually have good chances to finish the game with one goal, and after scoring one, their edge over the other strikers reduced significaly, if both trained with sharpshooter, edge grows a bit..
However, to a strong team who have 1 or 2 strikers comparable with Dedekind (7+ talent or youth10 with 6.3+ talent), then it's become much more interesting, Still adding Lagat/Thibedaux is probably better than Dedekind but only a bit, as in the first half that striker should be ok (and the more he's better, the less the advantage of Lagat/Thibedaux will be), and in the 2nd half Dedekind will arrive after that striker scored and become much weaker due too scoring penalty, and should have nice impact on the game with excellent chances of scoring a goal...
So for team with brilliant striker already- gap is not big, for team without, gap is big.
Thibedaux vs Lagat- here it's very though and depends on the team, for team like Maccabi Thibedaux easily win, for being younger than the "leader " (Pucciol), and Lagat would be more or less the oldest field player of youth generation there which is usually bad for strikers. But for team vs average age of the important players bigger.. really hard to tell. That 2.0 is a minus though.
Kearns vs Fitzugh, well, different teams might have different needs, but 4 blocking trainings for 2 seasons.. I think here Kearns takes by far, a more intresting is between LKU young keeper to Fitzugh.. both are 1.0 players too.
