The question that needs to be answered for a non-token buyer is this: can you use him immediately in your squad.

I can save up 50T and buy a scout in a position I need with guaranteed SA and have him as my best player for 2-3 years or longer, OR I can take the 18yo youth, which is not likely to be in a position I need, but besides that point. Let us just say he is in a good position for my team, with or without an SA, so he will be mid to low end of my team as my avg is 34Q.

I can almost guarantee I can get a 3* player of the position I want for less than 24T. On my other account, I got six 4*/5* players for 24T, which was totally ****ing strange, since I got 3 players for 5T. I improved 6 players by at least 1* each for 24T. That will not happen all the time, but that puts things a bit more in perspective. (I am thinking that there must have been an internet outage in Asia or else i could not have gotten 6 players for 24T!)

Start thinking as a non-token buyer when you answer these particular threads, because its quite obvious that the OP was someone that values tokens a bit more than yourself.

Nordeus should make it 10-15T at most for youth.
If I think like a non-token buyer thats on 35T a season budget, then signing your youths is not a viable option, for token buyers and token farmers, then it is. Also if your on one of those new servers with a 3* transfer market then a 4* youth would be worth signing also since buying 3* players would not exactly improve your squad.
