As 35T, poor in both cash & token manager, I only spend 3 tokens in average to successfully buy each player through auction, and never buy players through scout or negotiation. The cost 12 to 24 tokens are very high to me. I only occasionally sign young academy with tokens (about 2 or 3 in history).

If I fully understand youth training facilities on start of the game and have the option not to build these while not affecting upgrade for other useful facilities, I will pick up this option.

However, if I am token buyer or farmer, the situation is different. I will love to use my young academy players in case I often use similar number of tokens on buying other players.
