My First Youth Academy Player...

[RJSlow]

I know what your saying, but if you honestly think I'm gonna spend two or three days sitting at the computer training up an extremely slow trainer, using up a couple of hundred greens just for the sake of, and be honest here, 5 tokens maximum? then you're sadly mistaken, it's just a game!
Don't let me put you off trying it though on the next free academy dual role player you get though!!!

It is the beginning of a new season, so you can space those 2 or 3 days out to the whole season, and won't even need to spend that many green packs

[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

Save 'em up!

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.

Here's some 'Gain only' data for my 18 yo 4* 15T Academy AML/ML, Hard Training - who's now 5*.

I can't offer any data on injuries because I've yet to get one on this player, or my high value 18yo 5* Market buy, while training.

Very nice! And those numbers are better than my bestest trainers, so that's a valuable player I reckon (though he'll slow down eventually)

[Siddharth Shanker Singh]

Hey Buff please also mention the amount of tokens you bought this players.......

[Cat Harrison]

I bet Buffs spent 16T. (Scots, yeah?)


Or did you mean on green packs? Were they saved up?
