A scientific approach to the all-new youth academy

[Der_Ryan_M]

@DerRyan Will it be possible to find out if the youth players have any impact on the league, cup and CL draw?

It looks like the quality is much higher than the usual 2* for our free player which kind of makes them useless unless we need cash

I don't think they have impact, but no way to find out really unless you have a low rated squad and 4 really good youth players... Or maybe sell all players, keep 10 and see if you get generic players to fill up your squad. Would make no sense if they count for top 14 imo, think they are unsigned like the other youth players always were.

I think there is a chance they might be counted. It really depends on whether the draw is using end season quality or day 1 new season quality after they automatically move our youths to main. 3 youths @ 60 plus quality Vs negative 1 star players makes a big difference.

Thanks mate. Will probably use the 4 good quality youth method to try it out when I save up enough tokens and after your guide confirms which are FTs . I remember reading that out of contract players count as well so this might not be any different.

Yeah players run out of contract count, but that would make even more sense when the top 14 quality is determined at the end of the season, not the start of next one, where they are basically "gone".
