So I am a level 2 manager with a level 5 youth academy. It offers me a 2 star player and a 4 star player (only just 4 stars) and then it wants me to pay 15 tokens to sign these players up. What a complete waste of time!!
P.S.46 league matches so far and 46 wins

Welcome to T11! You have just embarked on a journey of discovery - a discovery of many more pointless things as you progress through the game :-)

HOwever as he loses a star he trains fairly quick again so will be world class at least for 4 years
instead of buying a new scout for 4 -5 years 200- 250 tokens (plus money ) he can be worth it with a bit of work in training !!!!
I totally agree with you Phil
If the youth player offered costs more than 20 tokens get him invest time and training in him and he'll be in your team for years. I'd rather have a youth team player than save up for a geriatric scout that at best might last 3 years.
It's totally useless. Whats the point of having the youth academy then?. Yesterday i was anxiously waiting for the youth players only to get a 2 star (12) player for free and a 4 star (23) player for 24 tokens. I'll rather use the 24 tokens for bidding wars to buy better players. Do teams like barcelona and ajax with world class youth systems pay heavily for youth players.

I mean, there are 18 yr old players with special abilities available for auction

Early in the game like where you are Volcanic if you looked at the youth players value compared to how much cash you could get for the same amount of tokens you would see that purely from a financial stand point its worth it.
Later in the game when cash isn't that important there are more active players so bidding wars are fierce for high value 18yr old players and any position with a special ability usually goes beyond round 20 anyway and your not guaranteed that they'll train fast anyway. They may be a dud from a much higher lever players youth academy. Whereas if they're home grown you know that they will train fast so you know that they'll be in the team for a long time.
The only people who are are really against it are those who've never tried it or those who can't be arsed training and developing a player. There's nothing wrong with that good luck to them in the bidding wars or buying scouts.
Each to there own :o
I buy excellent players and train them to scout level. Another problem is I don't have the 24 tokens and I don't intend to buy tokens. So I'll just count my losses.

Youth academy is only really 'pointless' in the lower levels.
As you get more experienced in training your players, you'll realize that youth players, once trained are far better value for tokens in the long term, than scouts.
Also, as more managers are active in later levels, it becomes harder and harder to sign players for a small amount of tokens, so you'll turn to your academy a lot more.
Ok. I get. Thanks man.

I got a 4 star goalkeeper through my youth academy a couple of weeks ago and he'll be scout level by this weekend.
How do you powertrain youngens?
with green packs and in case of inury red packs , 50 green packs or moreQuote:

I'm always getting low quality youths at the wrong end of the season.
Everyone will say power train him...Quote:

You can even buy a 5 star from market at the start of the season...
11 of my squad are from the Youth Academy, 9 of them 5 stars or Scout!
I find it useful.:)
You only find it useful because you have many TOKENS at your disposal...A 35T player will never find it useful...
The thing is you can get better (5 star) players with the tokens you invest in the youth academy players...
I don't buy tokens, get 35 a season from the game and a few extra from watchin vids and the occasional survey.
My transfer market is impossible to buy young players with that few tokens.
An 18yo 5* will go for anything up to 70 or 80 tokens, it's not worth even trying, so the Youth Academy is where it's at for me.
At least 300 greens/tokens to bring him to at least 5* + SA/position for next season and then the rest to bring him to 8*... I don't think so.Quote:

There's been ton of threads on the academy.. I think to be realistic, nordeus should give us the opportunity to choose to build and expand it or not.. As of now I only upgrade it when I need to for the rest of upgrades... Taking out the requirement to have a certain lvl in academy to continue building infirmaries and stadium ect and they ll be a lot less complain about it.. I've never had a players out of the academy I wanted, I don't buy lvl 2 and 3, I don't farm tokens or power train, leave me alone with that academy nordeus pls pls pls lol
And BRING BACK THE OLD TRANSFER MARKET!!!
