received two academy players

my first one was a gk 18yrs old 34 rated 2 star and no tokens, not good enough for my squad but will sign and build up over next twelve days and sell before new players come up.

the second is where i have a problem again 18yrs old 42 rated 4 star DC, now he`s a good player for squad and i have a player to sell in his position, the problem i have is he cost me 21 tokens come on Nordeus that`s way to much with the cost of building youth academy up and waiting 12 days before they come through, o`k i took a gamble and signed him for future reference on other players coming through, if he`s a donkey i want a refund on 21 tokens :) plus i spend less on Auctions getting players so this is my one time gamble so he best be a cracker or i`l be sticking that ( fire ) cracker where the ( you can guess rest ) :) :) :)

Just release the DC mate. You can pick up a better player on the transfer list for less than 5 tokens if you look just after maintainence.

If we all kept releasing the academy players Nordeus want to hit us with a 21 or 24 token charge for (as I always do), then they will quickly drop the asking price.

Can't believe you gave 21 token for a 4* player :eek:

or..

it could be that this system is nordeus intended system from the very beginning. it is their mechanism to guarantee that on the auction list there always be young free agent players. and you know that these kind of players almost always attract a lot of managers to bid on them. and i guarantee you, in the bidding of each of these free youngsters, tokens involved will always more than 24 tokens. so, again, nordeus win as always :cool:

nevertheless, i also suggest everyone to release the academy players :)

here`s another question when players let these academy go as a free transfer as a it seems quite a few do, how come i`v never seen any 4 star 18 yr olds on my transfer market i only seem to see 32+ yr olds :(

free agent players are always three stars. so if you are, let's say, level 7, and you release a 4 stars youngster, then you cannot see him on your auction list. he will appear on level 8 managers' list. you can see free youngster if somebody in level 6 releases his 4 stars youngster. and considering that the period of generating academy players is long: 20+ days (that's almost one whole season), you cannot expect to find these youngsters so often.

always to same, release the good and and sell the bad one :)

In 6 seasons i have never seen an 18yr old on a free transfer the youngest i`v seen is a 27yrs old ( which i got for 1 token then sold asap for 1.7mil :) )

maybe you just don't spend too much time on your auction list :)

i have seen many of them. and i'm sure other members too
but yeah it's true that these players don't appear so often on your list

I`m always on it to try and improve team :)

Yeah refusing to sign them doesn't put them as a FA on the transfer market. They get lost foerever. Most likely they are sobbing that their local club didn't think enough of them to pay them a real contract.


So yeah I challenge Joshiko to show me a 18 year old that he has bought as a free agent considering the player has never signed a contract in the first place. High value Noerdgens yes, academy unsigned rejects, no.

Only signed, then released youngster could be found at auction... in theory lol

Yeah and the manager would have to be a special sort of mouth breather to do that.

They could at least make it worthwhile for 21 tokens. Make the academy player a 5* fast trainer. The 2 star academy player a 3* fast trainer for free.

Free token youngster should be 5* too, but slow trainer... He could be competitive in the club for at least one season...

And the most important thing about youngster... they should be promoted the first day, not the last day of the season...

that's on you to manage your youth facilities I suppose.
