i'm too lazy and annoyed to write down all the details but here's my experience: again all 4 players gain roughly the same in training as the the 4 players last season. this season used senior coach for 3 players for 1 week and for 1 player local coach for 2 weeks. this didn't seem to make any difference compared to last season when i hired no coaches.
all 8 players train significantly slower than any academy player i got from the old academy.
new academy: using very hard drill gives (at best) 1-2-2-2-1-2-2-2-1 SA points
old academy: using very hard drill gave (at worst) 1-2-2-2-2-2-2-1 and at best 1-2-2...2's till infinity.
