This is ridiculous

I would love to know how you calculate this.

This is more of a personal observation and useless to anyone else because you cant possibly prove this.




Exactly. Only Tommys bother to spend $5-6M on 18yo to power train. The average manager cant afford to spend tokens on that. If they do, they get one player per season with that kind of money to put out.

Or else you end up buying all the freeagents and selling to make $$$, but then you are spending tokens like mad anyways.

Last season i had a full SA team and it didnt nearly perform as good as the players with no Sa i raised this season. My old 7* amc scored 11 goals and 12 assists with SS ability while my currrent 7* amc is at 20 goal 10 assist at mid season. Same modules, same mentality.

What youth is, is a mini scout source available to non T buyers. 20+ t for a player who will gain from a min of 1,3 to a max of 1,7 SPs per 30% 3 bars training is a good deal. Your 1 m Q 37 player will cease his usefulness in 1-2 seasons while this one will last. Will you alwais be able to replace your old player for 1 T? No. Will you alwais find one in TL? No.
At avg 1,5 sps x training hard he'll top your older player with about 40 greens and still train super fast.

Again, your experiences each year will vary and not be a representation of the whole. My 37Q AML/ML was $3M, so a medium trainer and will last more than a few years if he stays healthy.

Face it, youth academies are useless for anyone except Tommys. The one jewel they might produce for a non-buyer is rare.
