Last season, at the second day of the season specifically, I got my two youth players ( one is 1* and the other was 5* for 25 tokens). So I bought the player with the 5* for 25T and put him on the starting line up. He is a striker, at his first game he scored a hatrick. Throughout the season I train him and I got him 6 stars by the end of the season. Last season he was the top scorer, top rated, and top assists. He scored 30 goals in league, 14 assists and high rating of 10.0. Today he is back to 5* I will try to get him back to 6 stars and if he performs like he did last season, I will keep him for the next couple of seasons.

So in conclusion, youth players really perform excellent especially those with high token cost. And if you are a fast trainer, you can get him to 4 or 5 stars. (Only if you have 25 tokens and you want to spend it on that youth player.

Also I put that youth player as the first captain, first penalty taker, and first free kick taker. Almost every time my team gets a free kick, he scores and never miss.
