keep 15 token youth player?

Hi I am level 3 and I just got my first crop of youth players. I wasn't able to see how much the players cost without releasing someone from my squad, so I let go a useful reserve player, who will cost tokens to replace.

I know not to sign my 2 star (18 quality) goal keeper. But I was excited that the 4 star (25 quality) DC/DMC might be a good signing until I saw he was 15 tokens. I've read on this board that means he is not a fast trainer. Anyone had personal experience with this?

Thanks!

I always remove those low-cost players. Sadly I've been getting those players the last 3 or 4 times, I wonder if I'll ever get better youth players again.

2* free youth - usually slow/medium trainer, only worth signing to sell back on the market to lower teams.
token youth player - lacks a bit of initial Q and needs plenty of investment in green packs to develop to become a useful player, unless your a large token buyer or have plenty of green boosters in stock, I wouldn't bother signing him.

Depends if you can buy a better player or not from the auctions for cheap...I'm having a 12 token player currently in my team from 3 seasons,he used to be in the starting 11 but now he's a backup player for me.

I can definitely get a 4 star defender for a lot less than 15 tokens on auction, though it would cost cash. The question is whether a 15 token, 4 star player will train fast enough to make it worth it.

He'll train fast but not enough to make it worthy of spending 15 tokens on,better would be to hit the auction market and get a nordeus gen player if you have enough cash with you.

Lately on my server there is bidding wars for the gens, so I sign my youth. But I also power train them. :)

Thanks for the responses. How do you identify a "nordeus gen" player? Are these materially different than players simply being sold from other teams?

Yes. They will come from a fictional sounding team name (I just saw an FC Chintzy on my server) and will be the most expensive there is. It is harder to see them on the phone since you cannot see team selling it. They also won't have any stats for games played. But, other teams also sell on their gens they bought too, they will also be very expensive.

OK thanks. Are "gen" players desirable?

The "gens" are normally very fast trainers, just as your token youth player will be. They only show up when there's not enough people selling so they are very few and far between, on my server it's at around 5 or 6am GMT. But as a previous poster mentioned there will often be a lot of competition to sign these players. If you can get one without spending too many tokens then it will definitely be worth it.
