Youth Players

He actually had 2 positions when you signed him? I never got one of those

It's possible I got a DC DL yesterday.

Today's update on my youth player.

15 Sets of G/k Training - 1 Drill At Gym = 40 Skill Points.
15 Sets of G/K Training - 1 Drill at Hold The Line = 48 Skill Points.
Moved 6% Quality

I will bang him on Press the Play or Defending Crosses tomorrow with another 15 Sets.

Why defending crosses it is not a clean skill, it improves crossing. I would train a bit use your head if you plan to use him at DMC. It improves passing, heading, creativity and positioning I think.

Yeah good idea mate. Just want some heading attributes into him.
Gonna stop his Gym workout now want to concentrate on Tackling-Heading (PTP) and like you say the use head will add to his passing.
Gonna see how far i can take this lad.

Is there any way to influence how good the Youth player is, or what position he is?
If it is just luck, how often do you get a Youth player worth spending tokens on - every 10 seasons? Every 20 seasons?

I'm level 8, my training & youth facilities are maxed out. Since level 3, all my youth players have been 10-20% (the free one) or 40-60% (the one for tokens). The positions are frequently ones I don't use in my team, and of course I wouldn't buy right before the end of the season. Seems so rare that Youth is worthwhile.

I dunno mate but im sure some of the longer server members could answer you better.
I'm only level 5 and usually i just sell on every youth player.
this time i saw he was 80 and had 2 positions and hearing these young guns were fast trainers i took the chance.
do think you need plenty of resources though if you want them high quality.
i think they are good buys for token buyers who can fill them with the green stuff

My most successful Youth player to date...



12T, two-position player. Didn't bother with an SA, power-trained to 6* using about 105 green packs, finished up as



Spent the first season as understudy to the existing right-winger, who was fading in Quality but still doing the business.

From the second season, formed a partnership with the left-winger that brought over 500 goals in the next 7 seasons.





His partner...



Whether I can do the same with a similar player from the Youth scheme as economically under the new Training regime is awaiting the player and the resources to do so...
