I found 1 of my academy players was at least an average to good trainer , not as fast as some ft players I have seen. The players seem to come with higher gray skills that you would like so that may influence the ft algorithm a little , not certain but time will tell.
The transfer market is however you look at it .................... disgraceful to say the least. I have seen 2 18 yo players in just over 3 hours , neither were in a position I wanted and both were around 78 -81 % and of course people paid a small fortune for them ,which is as Naughtyus wants it. If this is the continuing trend then my days playing this game are very numbered. I have a life that doesnt afford me the hours it looks like its going to take to get even 1 player of choice.
