And with this release, we bring one of the most requested features by our global community - an all-new Youth Academy! The feature will kick in beginning with the next season.

From nervous teenagers to superstars - these players are the club’s future, and every Manager knows that!

To enter your Youth Academy, go through the Ground screen or by tapping the new Youth Academy icon in the menu section on the left side of the Home screen. Once there you'll be able to find the Young Talent Center on the right side of the screen and your Youth Academy players on the left! Scouted from the best academies, youngsters with different positions, quality and features arrive at the Young Talent Center where they will be available from the 3rd to the 7th day of the season! Choose wisely and bring the players you think will be the best fit for your system once ready to step on the big stage. By tapping on the player you'll be adding a new player to your Youth Academy. You'll also be able to set the preferred position of your Young Talent Center players.

The number of players you're able to recruit to your Youth Academy depends of develepoment of your grounds.

Once you've made your selection, with the beginning the second week of the season and it's time to get the most out of your Youth and hit the training ground! Every Youth Academy player has one coach assigned to him to ensure his development until the end of the season. Under the player’s name you will be able to find his quality - the quality a youngster will have at the end of his academy days and once ready for the first squad.

But that is not all. Now you can assign more coaches and empower the players’ progress during his Youth Academy days. Every coach has a unique impact and duration of training. Assign different coaches during the season, experiment. find the best combo for your player to ensure his growth. In the Youth Academy screen, you can track your players' progress anytime during the season and ask for more coaches. Remember to keep an eye on this screen as there may be some special coaches visiting!

Once the new season kicks off you'll be able to bring them to the first squad and then it's their time to shine.

Good luck and see you on the touchline!

You're not going to be able to play with your young players during their Youth Academy days. You'll be able to improve their progress and assign coaches to them to get them ready for when they join your first team.

Too bad
I hope you 'll work for something to that.
At least if we could use some of them in friendlies.

Lian,

Thank you very much for this informative update.
When I click on the “Youth Academy” icon I get a counter of 6D+. Is it correct that we will only be able to actually get into the Youth Academy and see all the new stuff you described as of Day Two or so of the new season?

[Kelpie Grant]

So far as the information goes ,I like the idea of shaping youth players to our needs and having them available from day 1 of the next season will be great. A few questions though 1) what is the maximum number of youth players a manager can bring through a maxed out Academy per season ? 2) What is the cost of a player in tokens ? 3) What sort of % Q are we looking at when the player is available to be signed ? 4) How much does each coach cost ?

If i understand correct, in six days we 'll have the first group of juniors.
We 'll train them for the next season and we 'll pick some of them the 3rd day of the other season, not this.

On Friday there will be a Facebook Live and we're also be sharing a Youth Academy tutorial video to try to explain it better and answer some of your questions ahead of the feature going live.

The maximum number of players you will be able to bring to your YA during one season is 4. So 4 players in 1 season. In the Young Talent Center you will have several young players with different values and quality and you'll be able to bring the ones that best suit your strategy.
