New Season - Mean need to get new players as well?? (New player here)

Can I ask why you purchase academy players? I'm reading different things about them. Most people are suggesting that you use them as cash cows by only recruiting the ones that are free and selling them. The reasoning seems to be that they're not fast trainers and thus require to much recourses for the potential output they generate. You're obviously of a different opinion so I'd like to read your take on it.

Youth academy products come in handy. No tug-of-war with other managers to get them. Of course you have to train them before they come to the squad or power train them when they come.

I'm in level 45. Club worth 30+ billion, what do I need money for.

I'll give you a case of 2 academy players of mine who are now in their 10th season - isn't that impressive, I never bought a DL and DR for 10 consecutive seasons!

Lanmougchi (DL) and Pluim (DR).
They came in at 18, as usual. Power trained the DL to 120% at the beginning of the season so he was a regular starter from day 1. The DR I trained at the season after I saved some greens. They were both 145% at the end of the season, so the next season those two came in 125%.

To my surprise the DR I trained last was a fast trainer, he always level up before my first trainer, the DL. I always power train him so they could play together.

10 seasons later, the DL is approaching 400 club games while the DR is about 350+ games. I just put their screenshots along with this post.

Long story short, 1 of my DC now (5seasons), my main striker 120% (2nd ieason), and my winger AML (7 seasons) are all from my academy.

My advise: If you are in a low level, you might want money - use them as cash cow.
