Playing in a more defensive role, he only managed 12 goals and 16 assists in that time, for an average rating of 7.29.

Dominik Geiger - nyrfan818
Also Dominik Geiger spent all three seasons at his original club, YF Juventus, though that might have come as a surprise. The striker played 86 league games the three first seasons, scoring 35 goals with 7 assists and an average rating of 7.13. He also made his first U21 cap, surely making a good first impression with a debut hattrick. At the end of the third season only PSV were monitoring him, though several other clubs had watched and even bid for him earlier, including Roma. For whatever reason, those bids never amounted to a transfer.

Ed Weatherall - Ed Weatherall
Though he impressed in his first three seasons, also Ed Weatherall was still at his original club, Alton Town. In 99 league games he had scored 16 goals and provided a further 22, playing for an average rating of 7.36. Despite having a puny influence of 2 he was quickly named vice captain and then captain. With his contract due to expire this summer, odds are he won’t be at the club for long. At the end of the season he was being monitored by a vast host of clubs, including Burnley, Charlton, Norwich and Watford.
Weeks injured: 11
Emile Messi - x42bn6
A freak of nature, Emile Messi’s ambition wasn’t enough to secure him a move away from Woodley Sports during his first three years. Also he played for the first team right off the bat, scoring 8 goals in 92 games, an impressive stat considering his finishing and composure ratings were at 1, 2 or 3 for the entire run. He also managed 30 assists, putting his averate rating at 6.96. Though he originally meant to hold out for an England call-up, he quickly succumed to the pressure and accepted a cal-lup from Saint-Lucia, aged 16.
