I usually wait until my youth are about 17/18 before involving them in the first team, just a personal habit. If it's a cup I don't value very highly I'll always play 2nd string players & youth with high potential. When they're young, like the 14 year old player, I usually find it best to leave them in the youth team & closely monitor the training.
 
Really? of course, unless you can get them out on loan at a decent side with good facilities.
 
only start of my 3rd season so not had chance to play them might have to bang them in for french cup games
 
yeah i would keep them in under 19's for a season and then when 16/17 loan them out for lower league teams
