Are youth players worthwhile?

On all the different manager games I play I like using and developing youth players but on Top Eleven is there any point in signing youth players?

I usually sign the free youth player and train him to help me get 2% training each day, but is there any point in spending 10+ tokens on the better youth player when he is barely good enough for my bench. Especially when I can try to sign a player 10 points higher for only 1 token. The idea of signing youth is good but I feel like I'm just wasting tokens on reserve players which isn't good because I never get any tokens back when I sell players.

don't sign the one who is 4 * and for tokens - sell it :D

I have 4 of these, my main Gk and a MC that perform with 10's that for now is a sub that I trained^^

"Academy is the future" lol

and my best ST of the history, Zumalakarregui was a academy player too

do you push them on field immediately after signing them or do you train them to gain a red star before you do ?

do you sign all players from academy or just the ones with preferred position ?

do all of them perform well ( above 6/10) or is it just like scout some do and some not ?

Youth is waste of tokens. Never ever sign the one that costs tokens.

My ST superstar is an Academy player, he is 25 now and he played 313 matches and score 315 goals between all competitions. He is with me since day one, I powertrained
him, first I made him FK specialist and then rise him to 100%, and he always delivers. The 10T best invested ever. I have another one in my second team, who is better than the first, so....

he trains the balls off of them with his near infinite supply of rest packs

my youth players abilities are quite a bit behind my starters so they don't get to play. I have a couple of academy players in my squad but they just make up the numbers.

I always buy the best 18 year olds available in week 1 of a new season to strengthen my weakest positions then spend the rest of the season using rests so my best 11 to give them loads of extra training. This means players I sign are always the same age as youth players but are much better.

Just got my youth players today (2 am GMT).
Signed the free youth player. ST - (28% - 77 rated).
Waste of time but will train for 2 seasons then sell before his contract expires.

Haven't signed the other academy player yet (12 tokens) AML/LM - (76% - 89 rated). I can sign up to 94 on the transfer market but next season that'll improve so I'll be signing even players next week when the new season begins.
My other players I can use at LM are 113%, 105%, 96% and 95% (all 18-21 yrs old) so I will probably just release him.

Academy player can play good, but most of them aren't fast trainers. So it depends what quality league do you play in. If your opponents are 4-6* teams then you could play with academy players, train them to 6* and they will perform good. But if your opponents have 7-9* teams then forget about academy players, you need fast trainers. For example I have one very good 2* academy player on my third team, but I can't imagine to play with those players in my main team (MNK Kaskada).

Numbers are not the most important thing, performance is. Bought him and try him against much weaker team, I'm pretty sure he won't let you down

I used a 4* Academy player, power trained him to 7* and gave him FK SA. He is on his way to becoming a legend. I have maintained him at 8* for past 3 seasons. He has 9 or 10 ratings most games.

from understanding there is no different between the youth and the 1 you buy from TM. Only different is in *quality. If you lucky you get 1 talent regardless from where it from.
Base from experience I've trained youth academy, nego, recom and TM player to 9*. It all depend on luck.

Im not sure if this is for me but I answer xD

- I test them first before train them facing a 1* team to oversize the internal programming. I if worth then I train the player, if is not I sell it.
If I really see that is worth and I need a player for the position that he have I train him to be in the main 11.
If like this season I have 2 good main MCs and I obtain a good 4* from the academy I keep him in a good level without spend almost greens.


-I sign the 2* and then the players that have preferred positions.

- There no source of players in top eleven in where players perform always good or always bad. But Ive to say that with my academy, the scouts I bought, and too when the game had nordgens time ago, I always had luck with the players that I obtain, and talkign of my academy I have to say that mostly of the players are from notable to excellent.

Khris when you test them, you only do it once? I used to prove them in 3 matches. Works for me

The best is try it few times if is not clear if the player have future, yea :)

But mostly of cases with one I have enough ...I have a lot of vicious, became so practic xD

One of my legend - 15 MoM every season constantly for more than 10 years - was a 2* academy youth!!!
When he retires I will change Stadium's name to honor him!!! :cool:

Usually academies are good, more if you have resources - greens - to invest in him. Otherwise better market.
