Why doesn't the youth facility take into account what we already have?

[Cat Harrison]

Yes, I like the youths I do sign but feel the offerings are stupid. Most probably random, but I had a DL the time before too.. which is what made me so miffed, as you can see I had signed some already from my academy.

I would prefer it to be less random, that's for sure.

Another example:



This team already has enough ST, one a youth product. So he goes into the bit bucket. Had he been a winger or even an MC or DMC I would have kept him. The system knows what your favorite formation is, it should use that data in choosing. I have played with 1 ST 90% of the time, why give me yet another ST?

It seems demanding for a server handling thousands or millions of teams to check the formations we used previously.

To determine the player needed, the system may compute the percentage that different positions appearing in the 4 selected formations, and then compare with current squad to find position in shortage.

However, it is not easy. Even another human cannot fully understand what other persons think. For example, if I often use one striker, this can mean (1) I prefer 1 striker formation, or (2) I have no choice because I lack strikers for rotation.
