Who are the superstars of this league? I know the likes of Dennis Saurez, Suso, Yesil and Piazon are youth football superstars. But are there any domestic talents of interest? I know Tuncliffe is highly rated by some.
Bamford, Ibe, Jerome Sinclair. Sinclair is already scoring for LFC U18 and he is still 15 until next week. Ibe was on the bench for LFC U21 tonight and he is only 16. Bamford is newly 19 and shining for Chelsea U21. Lots of exciting English players out there.
Chelsea vs LFC U21 match. Bamford scored for Chelsea. Robinson, Coady, Ngoo scored for LFC. Final score 1-4.

Its so difficult to get the full squads for some of the teams as some OS haven't updated yet and even some clubs don't update who the scorers were for the 18s.

Leading scorers in the top divisions, U21 and U18 (players with 5+ goals at the moment, will filter them more as tallies increase) Under-21 League Jonathan Obika - Tottenham - 8 Cristian Ceballos - Tottenham - 7 Brad Inman - Newcastle - 6 Ryan Mason - Tottenham - 6 Shane Duffy - Everton - 5 Adam Campbell - Newcastle - 5 Sam Hoskins - Southampton - 5 Jamar Loza - Norwich - 5 Thomas Eisfeld - Arsenal - 5 Liam McAlinden - Wolves - 5 Robert Hall - West Ham - 5 Paul McCallum - West Ham - 5 Iago Falque - Tottenham - 5 Under-18 League Ryan Seager - Southampton - 13 Cauley Woodrow - Fulham - 12 Uche Ikpeazu - Reading - 11 Tom Youngs - Bolton - 9 Mickael Mandron - Sunderland - 9 Ibrahim Keita - Wolves - 8 James Wilson - Man Utd - 8 Chris Long - Everton - 8 Zach Clough - Bolton - 7 Sullay Kaikai - Crystal Palace - 7 Jerome Sinclair - Liverpool - 6 Alex Jones - West Brom - 6 Jordan Graham - Aston Villa - 5 Tariqe Fosu-Henry - Reading - 5 Elliot Newby - Bolton - 5 Dominic Dell - Wolves - 5 Omar Rowe - Southampton - 5
Spurs are playing with many "overaged" players in the u21 league....Obika,Ceballos and Falque' are 21~22 years old .....Chelsea, Arsenal ,Manchies average years 18~19 years old...... From what I've seen Palace has some decent players who should be look closer by the FA scout, Sulley Kaikai 95 forward ,Elijah Gabsi 96 cm and Hiram Boateng 96 cm are very good players. Kaikai is like Zaha , an athletic ,pacey all around forward with outstanding technical abilities .
I wondered about Spurs scoring so many goals in the U21 League. LFC have recruited Alex Inglethorpe from Spurs. He will take over as Coach for LFC U21 from Borrell who is becoming LFC Academy Technical Director. LFC U21 still unbeaten this season and need one more pt to win their U21 Group.
