If anybody can give me a brief synopsis of how a youth academy/ youth development works then I would be incredibly greatful.

I ask this because I currently play a basketball on-line game called Buzzerbeater and I love to develop young players in that game. You get 18 year old players and choose how to train them to turn them into starts.

Anyway, if you have the time to answer my questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
Yes you can, you can build the youth academy structure in your stadium grounds, and this produces 2 new, young players at regular intervals, depending on it's level.

One of these players you can sign for free, and the other, who is usually better than the other, will cost up to 24 tokens, depending on his quality/training speed.

You can also buy young, 18 year old players from the transfer market and train them up yourself.

Young players, ie. aged 18-21 are the fastest trainers, so they'll develop more quickly than older players.

You can choose to increase their quality, and also add special abilities, such as 'free kick' specialist. You can also train a player to play in multiple positions.
