Young Players

[TALON1973]

Sorry I should have said .. im a level 6 manager .. player in question is 4 star level 41

I'm just starting to do the whoel power train thing with a young goalie I got. Doing more than one player seems impossible tho unless you have green token coming from your behind lol

at 41 i would not bother if 44 then yes and if enough greens you can power train, i`m level 13 and signed my second player in 15 season`s and he cost me 24 tokens but he was close to 5 star to sign and power train so i will have for 4/5 seasons, he also started his first game as a striker and scored 2 goals v a stronger team

For me they are always good buys.
My first one is still in the Team, plays as MC and is average is 0,5 goals/game witch for a player in His position is very good.
The second, got injured 4 times, 3 in the same season, i put it on sale, and end in a bid war, so a goo income to me.
The third is now my 2nd GK, and he is playing very well, Everytime i need him.
Still waiting for them this season, just need to upgrade the youth academy in the right time, to get them earlier in the season.

you can do your own math. Level 41, he is at least 46 points away from level 45 (5*). That means, W/O power training at best, he'll be just getting there at season's end. Next season you'll start again from low 4* and hopefully he'll be back at 5* at season's end, if you play him a lot, and same for the 3rd season. There onwards, forget, he'll never be back at 5* W/O power trainning.

Let's say you can buy now a high 5* player for, let's say 5 tokens. Most likely he'll be 6* or just, by season's end.
Next season you'll have a 5* player for all season. next season you buy another high 5* for more 10 tokens (you had to work ahrd on this one), so third season, you have another 5* player for same spot, and with some luck, he'll do you the following season also with 5 star. So you have a 5* player for a full 4 seasons spending less than the youth's cost.

Yeah it seems on right at the top server wise ... never get anything good , and when its does its a frenzy so relying on my youth

And what's wrong with the older ones?

2 season ago i picked 2 31 Year old players both 5*, both with sa for 2 tokens a piece. They did very well, and are now 4 * and still playing regularly (i tanked last season). If i get one of these every season, for 4 seasons, instead of the youth guy, i'll be having a 5* player for 4 full seasons, by a cost still lower than a youth player.
Of course they won't be good for more than 1, 2 seasons at most, but still...

I signed 3 youth players so far. One is now 21 Y/O and is 4* trying to get back to 5*, even though i tanked last season. He cost me 24T. Another is 22 Y/O, 3* and only played first team part of a season were i was trying to get him up to 5*.

On my second team i signed one, this season, for 2 reasons: I got him on day 2, and i don't have time to look for players on that team, so as he was dual-position and for one spot i was in need, i decided to take the chance. Maybe i found a mix of circumstances where a youth player may be a good choice. I'll let you guys know in a couple of seasons.

Well in this season i buy 9 young players and I'm not having good results (3-6 and 1-6) in the league and I'm considering whether to take the right decision in buying young players between 18 and 20 years without skill.

I am also thinking of tanking to teach skills to young players purchased. That they think it is better to buy young players or players +24 years with skills ?

League 5W 0D 4L -6 goals
Cup 5W 1D 0L +12 goals
CL 0W 1D 4L -5 goals

Just think of it as building for the future.

My team is quite young, the age average is 21.1, but it seems they have not come together, so there are not too good results

[cracicot]

buying youth players that are fast trainers are good if you want to save tokens and plan on tanking a few seasons to let them build. this is only if you dont buy tokens. Otherwise, you would power train them to scout or higher.

That is the only advantage to buying youth over aged players, since they all play with the same skill no matter what age.
