In my time playing Top Eleven I've probably had around 50 players generated from the Youth Academy and NOT ONE SINGLE striker or attacking midfielder!!
I've had 2 goalkeepers (decent ones mind you) and all the rest have been defenders or midfielders (ML,MR,MC,DMC,DML,DMR).
Any one else had such a sh!t track record of young players?
Obviously all my youth coaches are defensive minded!!!!!
I thinks the players generated from youth academy depends a lot on your formation...You might be using a defensive formation consisting a lot of defenders and mid fielders that's why your youth are mainly defenders...
I use a formation consisting of a lot of AMC, AML, AMR hence my youth players generated are mainly Attacking Mid fielders...
i have 2 scout Gk age 20 and 19 but every 3 in 4 youth coming through are frogging Gk that i don`t need
I play 3-4-3 quite a lot so it's definitely not that! :DQuote:

AI have only had defenders and goalies!
So, no one gets strikers! Seems odd.
I just recently started getting STs, but they do seem to be the least often for most out of the Academy, I get D mostly. But my hubby has gotten 2 out of his level 4 Academy. He doesn't play 3 ST or anything, just lucky I guess.
I've been getting mostly MC :))
You get youth players out of Roulette I think. I got I think around 15 strikers from youth and not so many gks, may be 5 or so and lots and lots of dcs.
I get a lot of strikers and I'm playing with 4-4-2 lol
YES!!!!!!!
Got a striker today!!!!!
:D
I never keep my young players, they have 2 or 3 stars when my team have 5 stars!! Why do you keep in your team this players ? For me it s just for make a few money.
i normally get midfielders and defenders from youth academy
You get two players every 12 days. I sign the 2* one and sell him straight away. I always have a few hundred greens saved up so If the 4* one is 18 or 24 tokens I usually sign him and train him up to 5* by the end of the day.Quote:

Sweet! It is nice when you get the player you wanted. :D
The opposite for me: many strikers, very few defenders... and an incredible AML/ML once ;-)
I only sign the Token one when it's the beginning of the season, otherwise is a waste of tokens...
A lot of the time its a waste getting the more skilled player,you can get better from the auction for less tokens, it baffles me why nordeus don't reduce the price they would make ,more money in the long run because more people would buy them.
The only time in 11 seasons i've had a striker is when it was the 2 star player everyone instantly sells. Mainly midfielders and defenders just training up my first 24 token goalie this season
So far i have only had one good player from my youth team that was worth keeping the rest have all been signed and sold asap to raise funds.
Over the seasons I've had an 18 token and a 24 token goalie, both have been brilliant and, including the keeper I got when I started, the only keepers I've had in 11 seasons.Quote:

There are Markets out there where such players are a guaranteed bidding war. Also the 24T players are usually (!) better than what you can get on the Market in terms of their value.
He had greens to train him up quickly.
Yep, train up quickly with 60 or 70 greens.Quote:

Which day at the season is the youth players generated? Its now day 22/28 and i havent heard anything yet.....
All depends what level of construction you are with the Youth Academy. I get 2 new players every 12 days, but I know it's a lot longer to wait if you have the basic facilities.Quote:

Why do people still belive that only the 24T players are good?
I already put here pics that prove thats not True, you can have a 15T youth better that a 24T one. Just look for there market value, not for the price in tokens.
Today i sign youth player for 21T, 4*. he train incredible fast and will become part of my main team soon :)
Youth player out today... 18T, 4*(45) DC...still discussing with club board on whether it is worthwhile to offer him a contract.
Considering I have a few DCs that are retiring in a couple of seasons, I am very much inclined to but 45....hmmmm

Well worth it!
I have had a GK,DC,DL,DMC,MC, and ST.
I think it must just be bad luck in your case, or as you said, your youth coach is defensive minded.
He was probably from a defensive military squad.
Another 3 goals today, 17 from 8 games now, last 4 ratings have been 9-9-9-9. It's been worth the wait all these seasons to finally get a youth striker!;)
Today I got two Youth players DC/DMC 2* and a MC 4*(14T). Please suggest what should i do with them?
Well, it depends. Do you have room in your squad to sign someone? If so them sign the free one, and sell him for $$ or keep as a bench player and train for awhile and sell later. Is the MC an upgrade from what you have? If not release him into the wild...
I realize this is an old thread, but was wondering if there are any new thoughts on the youth academy players. I just got my first two ever.
The free, two star player doesn't seem worth cutting one of my current players in order to sign and sell.
The 18T player is low end 4 star, but I can buy 18 year olds nine quality levels higher on transfer market. The main issue seems to be "spend tokens for player of unknown value and only one position vs. spend cash for player of known value, higher quality, and positions of my choice". Might be worth it once the transfer market gets more competitive at higher levels, but for now there is too much transfer market value to make youth academy players worthwhile.
Any insight from those who have done this before? Some confirmation would be reassuring before I pass on this opportunity. Thanks.
