That's what I do.

I guess the youth players should have some games — in their age group. IMO there should be a new U-21 league for the youth (which may be 7-a-side?) The prize money can be 50% of the seniors. Also, the minimum age of a player in the seniors, and the maximum age in the youth squad, should be 21. In this way, the 2* youth get 3 seasons of games before their contract expires. Then we can decide whether to release them or keep them with us. But also, it'll make 18 y.o. less valuable. The U-21 squad should be available from Level 10.

The format can be, say, the U-21 and senior leagues have the same 14 clubs. The promotion of the U-21 side depends on the senior. But then being first will have no use. So the top four in the league qualify for a 32-team knockout tournament next season, which can be Q based like the Cup (since promotion depends on the seniors.)
