What is the point of (investing) in young players ?

[xempen]

"Also ive tried another method of rating my sub 21 players...if you get the age of the player (ideally 18) and subtract that from his skill level...

i.e..an 18 yr old with a skill level of 23 = a +5 player whereas another 18 yr old with a skill rating of 21 = a +3 player...with this method i have a better idea of which players to go for in the market...

It would mean tho that whenever you look at a player with a view to buying that you'd have to find out his estimated skill level..."

jklm_37 can you explain that part more detailed cause i didnt understand what you mean

I meant the players quality level not "estimated skill level"...my bad...

Atm i buy 18 yr olds that are at least quality level 22 or 23...that means that they are at least +4 or +5...

Does that make sense?...is it a good way to not buy "ducks"?...

i dont get the +4 or the +5 ( +4 stars from your previous one?)

Not stars no...more the number in relation to the players age v ability/future performance...

E.g.. an 18 yr old with a quality of 23 (+5) would be the better player than an 18 yr old with a quality of 20 (+2)...

Is this a fair way to judge a youngster??...

No, take a look at the market value, a 18y old with a quality of 30 and market value of 4,5 million is worth much more than a 18y old with a quality of 34 and a market value of 3 million

Understood...basically the more you pay the better the player (but do some further research/judgement before purchase)...

that is an easy example and a obvious one , and its correct

but what about a 18 years old 30 quality value 4.5 million vs a 18 years old 29 quality and 4.36 million vs a 18 years old
26 quality costing 3.95 million ? who you believe is the best of these 3 ?

Looks like all 3 will train equally (fast trainers with that market value), i would go for the player with 29 or 30 quality but first i would take a look at the profile: can they play with both legs, special ability...

well actually the 3d one train faster than the other too and eventually he will be better than the first and second

Are you sure, when i was in that level 4,36 million for 18y old with 29 quality was the best i could find.
