@Nuno Yes, same here in referring to the youth players.
What I meant is if we would not like to have those youth academy players to be included as part of the basis for our draw next season, release them before the current season ends.
My own experience was this season’s draw became very difficult after taking in the youths, so by the 4th day of the season I released all the free youths from the youth centre - the centre is empty and will stay empty until when there is an urgent need to prepare a tailor-made 18yo for the following season. At least the draw won’t be affected. If that makes sense...
