He's still behind in xp. Your buyer had a good sell. I cannot criticize my fellow country man Anders about his buy, because I sometimes overpay also for a player if I really want him and there is nothing more interesting on the market. Like this one I bought last period: http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/info/player-714446
He's behind on xp, just like your former player. But maybe Anders is more enthousiastic about 'atletic' than I am. I like determined better :-)
It used to be random. Now, you will get one guaranteed if you haven't had any in your last 30 players. In addition, if you've had two in the last 25 players, you are guaranteed NOT to get a supertalent.
I now have 10 supertalents, and have gotten 4 myself. Sold them all to boost the club. Now I only am interested in supertalents. Its the only player that will be deemed good enough to play in the bigger leagues in a few seasons. Supertalents will ruin it I guess. They will become very very expensive for small clubs impossible
