i think burton would be a good candidate for employment as an economist at the heritage foundation. that 35M is irrelevant because it includes you training your players in your senior squad and THEN selling them.

for example if you pull an 18yo that would only sell for 100k at the time of pull, train him til 23yo, and he sells for 5M, you cant give your youth school credit for the 5M like that sum in your stat page does that you quoted, only the original 100k estimate.

my sum says 27M, but i only once had a youth sell for more than 1M dollars (1.7 to be exact) straight out of the school. all the rest of my big sales in that list were from training youthpulls for many seasons just like my above example

though, opportunity cost tells us that burton made more than 100k on that hypothetical sale, because the 100k, though possible "missed" profit, also saved him from spending 100k on another equivelent trainee.

it didnt save him from spending 100k on the equivalent because, bringing this discussion back full circle, having the youthsquad in the first place is costing him 1M$ per season. if you graduate 10-12 youths a season, theyre each costing you 80-100k

the ultimate question i asked myself when debating keeping the YS was:
A. would i rather gamble 1M$ per year on an unpredictable youthsquad, or
B. would i rather take 1M$ and invest in trainees from the TL that i can hand pick with the exact distribution i am looking for, or if im full of trainees already, take the money and invest it elsewhere

i chose B

all that depends on the cost of his coach and how long they were in his youth school

True, but do you buy only USA trainees with those perfect distro's? My whole point was to spend whatever I could afford on my juniors for USA development.

wage: 54 125 $
club: Zamboni, country: USA,
unearthly [16] coach

I don't have time to scour the TL waiting for the perfect trainee, and then sit online at 2 in the morning in a bidding war with 2 dudes from Poland.

If you break it down by the numbers, your way is probably better. It's pretty exciting thought o watch kids come through and then see what they end up as.

my youth coach:
Peter McNaughton, age: 41
wage: 35 925 $
club: Marauders FC, country: USA,
magical [15] coach

here's a bigger question. according to what i've read, participating in a youth league shouldn't help your players develop faster, only give you a more accurate reading of their skills. is this correct? cause my youth school has generally SUCKED since i stopped worrying about youth squad matches and got out of the youth squad league. mostly because i didn't see enough reward in dealing with setting up match orders and rotating players.

I had complete shit even with playing the junior matches so I think its random
2012-02-15 23:37:46
you are the reason the NT is struggling to find decent players right now.



Also, don't forgot to count money you get from playing games with your junior squad. I bring in like 5-6K from that.

Yes Junior training never changed. The only thing that changed with the new system was that skill level is "masked" by the coach "read". That's why now you see those up and down graphs.

Before you could tell how talented and how good a player could be after few weeks, now is almost impossible.

He's not the only one without a youth school.
2012-02-16 03:34:49
yea but he is the most fun to blame
