0-21 / 15-21 club/nation trained

[Gellard]

Hey,

I was wondering what is the difference between 0-21 and 15-21 home-grown players; how does the program decide which player will be which (as I have a couple of players whom I signed when they were 18, yet some of them became one category, some the other, after having spent 3 years with me), and why are 0-21 players not recognised as home-grown for European competitions?

Cheers

0-21 is for players who have come from your own youth academy, I believe, whilst 15-21 recognises players who you have pinched from other academies and trained for three years before the age of 21.

Strangely enough, it is quite the opposite - all players from my academy are listed as 15-21! But still, some of the players whom I have signed from outside count as 15-21, some of them are 0-21.
