My First Youth Academy Player...

[Cat Harrison]

My guy has been steady at about 90 with (hard) Cardio but varies wildly with other trainings, too. And I don't see any pattern with it....

I've been debating on whether or not to pick up the 4 star youth player I got the other day. He's a ST, and I already have 4 STs on my squad. Of my current STs, 1 is 6 stars, 2 are 5 stars, and 1 is 4 stars (but very close to 5), so it feels like signing a 5th ST for 18T might be a waste.

Signing any player for 18T is a waste unless you are short of money...I only did this to explore the Youth Academy Player and my squad is quite good at the moment and I can play 3 season without buying any player so I will have plenty of Tokens after these 3 seasons......

Yes, I agree... if you have (more than) sufficient for that role it would be a waste! The 24T ones I always consider, and the others only if it is an upgrade from the current guy in that role.

The only difference between the 18 and 24 token academy players is the starting rating. They would both be fast trainers but, for example, the 24T would be a 4* 73 rating whereas the 18T would be a 4* 71 rating. A 15T would be 3* 68 say.
It's worth saving the 6 tokens for the little time it takes to train up the difference.

I only signed this 3* dual role Academy player because I wanted to test things out - sometimes I find it more entertaining to play around with things as well as it being a distraction from the D I is bad WWWWWW I is Pro L I got trolled treadmill

btw even with the big variations in skill point gain on MP I'm still seeing roughly 7-8% tp gain per 1% condition for the faster trainer and 6-7 for the other, across the board.

On the variations between each type of training the spreads for each are not that different between cardio and match it just seems to feel more consistent for cardio. Initial results are showing low to high values for my academy player of

Stretching 41-58 Cardio 73-119 and Match 108-165 and
mean values are 48.7, 96 and 138.5 respectively.

The ranges do seem to be a bit wider than before but whether the averages are similar or different to the past I don't know.

Thanks for the advice. I guess the main reason I was even considering it is that it feels weird letting a young player slip past. It's the same reason that I'm trying to avoid looking at the transfer market for a while lol

[Cat Harrison]

Yes, but he takes up a spot... so unless it's a tanking team, that spot might be more useful filled by a decent player...

On BvB I never have an open slot, but some of my no tokens bought squads i have trained the freebie up and sold on day one for good profit
