Academy player $5M in value to $3M

Hi,

last season I bought my 24T academy player and he's value was at $5M by the end of the season, was looking to sell him on today when all of a sudden he's value is now $3M.....

Why such a big drop in value after only one season? He's 19 years old, I though drops in value would only happen when he reached 23-24????

No they drop when they get a year older.

as above but if you save the skill point`s and add on at start of new season his value goes back up
