young player not good

[Gert Funck]

Let him play a few matchs until his form drop to 7, then he will train normally.

I hate talking about this again and again, but a player with peaked motivation train extremely slowly. Academy spawns often comes with very high motivation which means they will likely perform very well in games until they "cooldown".

You must accept, that there are slow trainers. This has nothing to do with motivation, which is a self invented factor. He is a free player from academy therfor as always a slow trainer period

Average condition down after Stretching training is 3%, but it is actually between 2-4%... When condition goes down 2%, players gain less than average skill progress and when it goes down 4%, skill gain is above average... Same is with other two types of training... 4* player who can reach 20% of skill progress with normal Stretching training is considered fast trainer (16% if he is 5*)... Those who can not reach 20% (16%) after numerous Stretching trainings are token free slow trainers...

Agreed. I had a player who was actually pretty good (a 21yo LB at 5*) and would consistently get 7's and 8's. However, you can train him on practice match and you'd be lucky to get him in double figures (reflected by his roughly 200k price tag). I've sold him now as a result.

This is the in-line citation given by the official help page.

Young players advance very quickly while older players advance slower. All players improve much faster if they participate in matches; therefore, we recommend that you rotate your starting lineup in order to give all of your players a chance to improve.

I'm not asking you to trust what the developers says about the game, I'm asking you to find out if this is true.

A token or non-token youth have different base training value yes, but there are other factors that affect it, lack of pitch time is one.

A non-token youth will surely gain more than 10% for stretching, only if he played enough matchs. Even a token youth train extremely slow if no match is played, there is definately a hidden factor present.

A player who never played train extremely slowly, and this is a repeatable, verifiable characteristic. It is a solid prove that the above quote is true.

If he playes or not he will still and always be a slow trainer

Seell.

60+ sp a season without pack usage isn't really that slow. A 2* free token youth has similar training speed as a 6* fast trainer.

Actually that is too slow, he should reach at least 75 points in a season, otherwise he will become more and more useless than he already is.

Because he is a slow trainer, he will never be able to follow the team.

In my opinion waste of team and time. Sell at first oportunity

[Amane Ito]

On the contrary, I always find non-token youth useful due to his stable high rating, he is reliable to use although he can't be used in every game, so I usually reserve him for important games.

I just sold my non-token youth who spawned from last season for 130m and 5 tokens on negotiation. Waste? I'd say selling him too early is a waste of an opportunity and a reliable sub instead.
