Hey guys,
I have a question regarding youth academies, recruitment and development. I know one can't expect to pull all their players from the youth ranks, but is FM2011 similar to 2010 in that one youth every so often turns out 3+ stars?
When playing FIFA manager (yes, yes, I've heard it all, but I still like it), I pull about 3-5 youths every year that turn out to be some of my key players later on or great sells to fund future projects (playing as Worcester, got into League 2 pretty quickly, seemed to have stagnated after that)
In real life, there should be a 'decent' return on youth academies (i.e. more than one every other year like in 2010). I know it also depends on coaches, facilities, but shouldn't it also depend on the league? I know I'm not going to produce the next Schmeichel or Pele with AFC Telford anytime soon, but ideally just a few 3+ star guys would do me fine.
Or just poach younglings?
