I took 3 free players from the academy this season - I have spent nothing on them, no tokens, no greens, nada.
When placed in my starting eleven overnight they are consistently generating 18 year old 5 star players costing me less than 20 tokens from my assistant managers daily player. These type of players are now rarer than rocking horse **** in auctions.
So...........thanks Nordeus, for now. (I'm sure you'll soon put a stop to this.)
I've been doing the same thing, using the youth academy players to get decent recommendations from the assistant. Although mine hasn't worked as well as yours, partly because my opposition have been good, which affects the quality (and price) of the players from the assistant. Getting players from the assistant seems to increasingly be the best way of getting decent young players without spending days on the auctions... so I'm sure Nordeus will 'improve' it soon!
