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".

Again we have some new coaches and I really like the way they are implementing these, costing different ressources, sometimes token and greens, sometimes red and blue and so on. It's not bad and the cheap intensity coach isn't too bad when you have still a lower overall player, as it grants 6-7% quality for a little amount of miscellaneous packs.

For my DC however on the yolo team, it's now at a point, where everything is very expensive for the quality progression that it offers. So I booked the local coach one more time for 15T and 25 greens, which brings him up to 120%. Even the expensive intensity coach for 66T plus some other stuff only grants him +10% at this point and it's absolutely not worth it anymore for this player.
So in total we invested 95 Token + 157 greens + 11 blues + 35 reds into getting a 7 star player 18 yo at the start of next season, which we don't know if he is gonna be a fast trainer. It's not really great value, but also not extremely bad like some other offers in the game... *hmm 8 star loan offer*

Only thing I will touch this player again is when there is good SA offer for defenders, like aerial defender or wall.

I think it would be better in the beginning to sign for training all those 8 players of the list, free or not, test them in training and then sign only max 4 of them the new season.
Also to be sure that we can add those 2 defending sa if we choose defenders.
The pack for adding f-k specialist was reasonable but what to do with this if you have GK-MC-DC in your slots ?

Are the youth players actually free especially when the tokens have been made to look transparent. They just arrived and are 100 percent. Sounds way to good to be true.
(Yes, would release one or even 2 if the newbies were indeed free and no tokens now or in the future)

No, they're not free. Mine cost 35 tokens and 99 tokens, so think twice, if you actually want them or not.

Ryan, we do know you are spending a fortune of tokens on this youth.

Really appreciate it if you could let us know later if this new youth player is training-sensitive enough and could be further power-trained to say 9* with comparable greens of usual 99% to 8*.

We'll know tomorrow who of all 16 guys I selected is gonna be a FT. I think it will be very expensive to improve this 7 star youth player to 9 stars, it generally is with players, whos skills are balanced. I trained players to 9 stars or even 180% before but they were all low grey, high white players, who are good for training...

On my main team I selected:

AMC for free, MR for free, DMC for 3T and DL for 4T

Attachment 131281

On my main account all 4 of my selections are slow trainers, which is very disappointing, even though I didn't invest in any coaches. I will now take a look into the other teams.
