Below is the official response to my (they call it “confusion”) complaint about being ripped off:

Greetings Manager,

Thank you for contacting us and being part of our Football world. I am sorry to hear about your confusion.

Please be aware that due to the fact that you have assigned the coach at the last days of the season, the coaches will train your Youth Academy for a limited time and your player will receive fewer quality. Due to that, the coach is cheaper.

Is there anything else that I could assist you with? Don't hesitate to ask, I will be glad to help you
Wish you good luck in the new season.

Kind Regards,
Alexander

Don’t get “confused” when you’re offered 1% and you get way lesser than that you’ve been warned.
Yes, that tends to be the case when the advertised token cost is for a full week’s training while the effect will be diminished in a ratio, be it proportionately or exponentially. Nordeus really should have stated these within the rules section, so managers would be able to make informed choice before committing to spending any tokens and packs into those training. They don’t do it because they want managers to keep paying in tokens and packs after the first day of any week, but again it’s causing unnecessary pain to managers who don’t think like a mathematician.

To ensure that above won’t happen, the best would be assigning the preferred coach available on the very first day of the first or subsequent week (second week in season time or other weeks), or the 1-day intensity coach when it pops up first-time if one intends to invest a lot of tokens while trying to save greens.

It should then work as they advertised, as their pre-set formula seems to be ‘x%’ of improvement for a ‘y’ amount of tokens over ‘z’ number of days, with which the effect of % improvement will be gained depending on the remaining workable days in ‘z minus no.of days past since the training is available).

Only exception to this would be the SA & position trainings, as they cannot be bought in parts.

We may not like it as they won’t provide the formula on how these are worked out, but the above is my personal suggestion to handle it for those who want to make use of the academy.
