Asunto: Smooth juniors

We all know that a junior in first weeks are (in general) more valuable, because it's younger and will leave school younger with same bonus as others. Same for age.

What is proposed here are two things:
- Juniors should be a bit better by age. And years AND weeks should matter. For example figure that a 16yo on first week is "good" (it has an excel limit, if). Their maximum could be "solid" on week 4 or "very good" on week 8 Same for ages. Take a base level and give it a +1 based on 4 weeks
Example, first week
16 yo 4. Add +1 for each 4 weeks.
17 yo 7
18 yo 10
19 yo 13
20 yo 16
(numbers are examples).

Why!?
Youth scouting should be HARD!
It's freaking hard now and I love it!
I often get a total of 3..4.. 18 year olds with maximum levels of 3 or 5 o Saturdays and I get fking MAD about it! But that's the fun of it, being able to "fight", to think, to pland and HOPE!
The World isn't full of Ronaldos and Messis! There might be another 10 years before we see another super-player (Mbape and Haaland are not.... at least not yet, don't think that they will ever be...)
Youth scouting shouldn't be easy and it shouldn't be mathematics easy to predict!
I do think Youth scouting should expand and reform.
I would like to see 10 yo kids joining the Youth Academy ! Between 10 and 15 years the club pays no money for them, it's the parents duty to support their expenses! Up to the age of 15 years the young players can leave the club at anytime for no reason (just a random event to get on our nerves)
Younger age groups play in a different league, random games that their coach arranges!
15 years old players can already be promoted to the main squad AT ANYTIME after a minimum of 13 weeks in the 10 to 15 group. If they sign a contract with the Youth Academy (at the end of each season) they can no longer be promoted at anytime, only afte the randomly allocated weeks just like now.
10-15 yo's talent is INACCURATE because the Youth Trainer doesn't have enough time to follow their progress!
I know "it's complicated and it won't be done!" ... had to put it out there! :-)))
Have a nice Sunday!

No, scouting is far too easy. With 30 slots you can discard easily what wouldn't reach the level. And on final weeks, no one will reach the level, simply because it has 12 weeks less of training. Yeah, you could make some money for some 16yo with 1-3 weeks.

If it's easy for you why you wanna change it.... too easy?

well, it's because it's a nonsense. with this system, all juniors have the birthday at same time.
And yes, it's easy. I have managed last season of being junior champ in Spain.
So the main interest (for me) in Youth school are the starting weeks. Really you can have some nice juniors later, but powerful ones are at the start of the season. Same for too oldies..
For me it's quite gamey and no fun. But it's my personal opinion.

Youth Champion of any country is meaningless. That's not the purpose of the Youth Academy!
You are right about the birthdays being all at once though. (a reform in that direction will not happen soon... )
All that needs to be done is age reduction to 15 years for newcomers (now that the season is reduced to 12+1 weeks)!

Well, i agree age reduction to 15 years. It would be nice, but can be a lot op.
And starting hability caps for age. For example, a 18 yo, could be outstanding at maximum (or 16 not upper than acceptable.. ). it's an idea.

It could be done so that players have a max level of.... have no idea what number that is, if anyone does studies in that direction and comes to the conclusion that it is necessary.... but a player's number one "enemy" is his talent.
An 18 old who comes out level [13] and a 2.5 talent will be much better when he will be 23 years than a 16 level [9] with talent 4.5...5... some players have 7 talent... such players you can just SHOOT IN THE KNEE so that they will never touch a football ball in their lives again! :-))))
