Methodology
To build this typical team of players who could, within six to eighteen months, reach the elite, we first chose to set an age criterion. Eligible players were born after January 1, 2001 (which excludes, for example, striker Killian Corredor de Rodez or Ajaccio midfielder Tim Jabol-Folcarelli). In order to introduce “new” players, the selected players must not, moreover, have played more than 10 matches in the elite or be players currently on loan from L1 clubs. To get closer to the most objective vision possible, we relied on testimonials from French and foreign recruiters. In this 2023-2024 promotion, which is qualitatively sparse (few defensive midfielders or wingers with potential in particular), a list of around forty names was, initially, established. Before being reduced to around twenty. There she is.
