Youth team player? Is he worth signing?

[Mark Bayliss Jespersen]

Hi guys,

I have just received 2 players from the acadamy. I'm only on level 4.

The first is only 2 star (level 23) but the second is 4 star (level 30), but cost 15 tokens to "buy". Is he worth it, both if i choose to play with him or if i choose to sell him later on?

15 tokens is quite a lot for me, so i don't know if its worth it. Do acadamy players train faster than "normal" players?

Yes they do train faster, but keep in mind, that they are also less experienced. Personally I try to keep 2 or 3 in my selection, and sell them after a couple of seasons. Their worth increases also as they improve. Ive had quite a few youth players by now, and some really excelled, ended up earning their place in starting line up, playing in the league and cup aswell. Eventually selling them to make space for new youth...and sell them at a good age in comparison to Nordgens. I think I even have a couple of regular buying managers at this moment.

Anyways, I'd say its worth it if you can miss the tokens and are looking to evolve the player and cashin money later. In comparision to buying though you wont end up in a bidding war and potentially lose all the tokens put in.

I spend ~20T per season on transfers so I don't sign those stronger players. I sign only weaker for 0T and then sell him to earn cash

then I suppose you don't have extra green packs either, then you cannot power train him, then it's useless. He will be always 4* player and not sure if he 'll have good performances.
It's worthy to buy sometime an academy player but must have greens.

* 0T academy players are usually medium to slow trainers so it's not worthy to train them.

yes, page 17, post #170, why 0T academy players are not worthy to train

[BridgeGoth]

NEVER buy the academy player for tokens, it's a complete rip off.
ALWAYS buy the 0 token player, I immediately sell him.
