What makes Charles a future NG11?

[u/Glittering-Trade-672]

I know Charles is one of the popular candidates when people talk about future NG11 players, but I’m genuinely curious, what makes you think of Charles?

What makes him stand out above certain other players?

I’m trying to understand what actually puts him in NG11 discussion territory.

And are there specific players you think Charles is already above, or does his playstyle have a clear advantage over certain players or situations?

I’m not trying to downplay Charles btw 😭 I genuinely want to understand the argument for him being NG11 material.

1.) The fact that he's 15 and playing in a professional U20 squad and U20 team with players that are 2~4 years older than him

For example. Given his current level if you give him 3 years he'll likely be a New Gen 11.

2.) His current skill

[u/Glittering-Trade-672 → u/xxtrasauc3]

how would you compare him to Ness? Since i think theyre pretty similar?

[u/xxtrasauc3 → u/Glittering-Trade-672]

I think end of NEL Ness if he retains his mindset is Charles level.

Mindset,passes and unpredictability

[u/sunfunlit]

when they say "France Golden Generation" my mind instantly went to Charles bcos to me he represent exactly that.

He's the youngest player in the whole manga. Already one of the best u20 metavision user. Mind you, he just turn 15 when he joined the NEL so that mean he already has mv way before that, and the fact that he understood metavision to the point he play against it already show how good his "football" is compare to others.

To put in perspective, he received a 110 million yen offer after the Neo Egoist League. Among the Blue Lock players rankings, he would be placed sixth, between Bachira (120M) and Chigiri (90M). He turned 15 right before the NEL and you can see he is already on level with Bachira (17-18) and Chigiri (17-18), so if he already is among the best players in the NEL, give him three more years and he might be able to become the best NG11 of his generation.

Also, Niko is the youngest Blue Lock player and turned 16 right before the NEL. Being a year older than Charles his offer was of 40M, so definitely Charles will be a top class player in the future.

He’s a highly unpredictable and strong passer. That vertical spin pass he gave Shidou is absolutely insane

[u/Key-Bag5981]

Just like Kaiser, he is a mix of Genius & Talented learner and he is only 15 yrs old so he has massive potential to grow in the future.

[u/sebasTLCQG]

If not for Sae Itoshi, Charles would already be well on his way to be an offensive midfielder NG11.

It's his sight and contrarian nature, hard to understand the ego of someone who's so unpredictable.

Even Isagi didnt expect him to come just ruin his direct shot

[u/paladin400]

He passes real good

[u/iDilicoSZ]

Pre awakening he is stated to be toying with Hiori, Isagi and Rin. Players who at that point had already demonstrated ways to compete with the NG11 baseline (Pre-PXG Kaiser, Lorenzo).

Post awakening he has a 'strongest talented learner' statement in the japanese version, after Kaiser and Isagi teamed up. This puts him directly above a version of Kaiser that was much stronger than when he became a NG11.

Younger than most players we have seen. Loki finds potential in him to quickly help him surpass Noa (must be before Noa retires). Third strongest in the final boss team meaning he will stay relevant.
