Just wanted to hear how other people devlop their youngsters/signed Regens.
My first 11 is made up with average of 4 star players, bench at around 3.5 stars. Some of my youngsters are the best players in their position and so they play a lot of the time. But what is te best way to devlop other players with 4.5 - 5 star potential.
a few examples.
1.You have a player who is equal to your sub player (just under your starting 11) but with much better potential.
2. You have a player who is just under your subs, about equal to senior squad players, but much better potential.
3. You have a player who is worse then your squad players but a lot more potential.
The option you tend to have are:
a. Keep in youth team
b. Keep in Reserve's
c. Keep as squad player (perhaps available for reserves)
d. Use as a sub/first choice replacement. (i.e playing when first choice are injured/in need of rest)
e. As d. but with a few extra games thrown in.
f. Send him out on Loan to a lower tier team to gain some first team action.
My Current plan is working out more expensive as each season goes, as my starting 11 gets better, I have been buying Youngsters with good potential, and current ability within 0.5 stars of my first choice. Always means they get plenty of game time. But buying youngsters with current ability of 4 stars and potential of 4.5 - 5 is costing a lot. Taking into account that fact you need to buy 17 year olds or younger in order to be classed as Home Grown, they are nearly impossible to find, so have resorted to getting younger players, with varied level of current ability, but I am unsure the best way to develop them.
My current facilitys are very poor for Premier league, and my coaches arrn't too good. So from my point of view option a. and b. probably won't be the best for me.
