Youth academy

I will post my experience in an extra thread I opened in the tactics and tutorials section of the forum:

https://forum.topeleven.com/tutorial...h-academy.html

However it is somewhat disappointing that you can't select preferred position, even though they said so. It's another misleading sentence - of course I can select preferred position from the guys they offer me, but not preferred position overall.
I just hope, that maybe every day or so new guys arrive to sign. But I don't think so, we will be set with these 8 guys that were here today.

Also why would a player coming out at 75% be free and one being ready at 65% cost 6T. So I think the more expensive, the faster trainer and at the end only 5 and 6T maybe will be worth for training.

Will be following your thread. I think the tokens still indicate which players are FT. Hopefully your thread will prove it in time

I think they will all be fast trainers, the tokens just indicate the starting %, the same as the system it replaced. (I hope anyway)
The 8, 10, 12 token YA players all trained fast, but the less the tokens the lower the staring level.

It is what I expected too till I was surprised recently when I was training two lower valued ones (6-8T) that I signed the previous season. Their progress in training both for training skills and a special ability per condition spent (or rest packs spent) were far from expectations despite that they were still like raw players (not powertrained or even much trained before - still with low white skills and of course low grey skills). They turned out be to medium trainers or maybe even slower (definitely not first class or second class fast trainers). Their speed of progress was like the speed of what a fast training low 5-star player would have but those two players were 3 stars. Maybe something changed due to the new academy system but only one of them was signed after the new system came. Their market values when they reached a certain quality (4 stars, meaning 5 stars of the previous level) after training confirmed it too - it was like 0.4M less than the value of a fast trainer at that quality - a significant difference in that level. I had academy player that was in the higher price that was sign two seasons before. When he reached that same quality for that same level, his value was 0.4M more. Someone would have expected that a fast training academy player signed on the level after to have a higher value than that of the one that was signed the level before, when both reached the same quality. So, those two players were not fast trainers.
