There should be a limit to that. Perhaps 22 players + 5 youth players, don't really know.
2) The better players that come from the youth system don't have to be free, but they are right know way too costly. I wouldn't mind paying 1 token to sign them (as we all know in order to anyone to bid in the auctions, they have to pay at least 1 token, so i guess that 1 token to sign any player from your youth system is an acceptable cost)
3) We could have an U21 team/squad. We could instead of playing friendlies, train our players in matches between the main squad and the U21 guys. It would be like a friendly, but with less condition loss and a great training bonus to all of the players from the youth. Here in Brazil, at least, i know that there are many teams that train tactics against their U21 or U18 teams. Let's now try to focus on this U21 possibility.
