Subject: [IDEA] YOUTH SCHOOL

First of all, apologize for my level of English.
I propose that the youth school can enter players under the age of 16, in principle would set the starting age at 14 years.
These players included in the 14-15 band would train and upload skills but they could not be promoted to the first team until they were 16 years old.
It is a way to rejuvenate the age of footballers, so there would be more possibilities of having 16-year-old players in the first team with decent skills

A big +1 for me!
I've always thought that would be a great addition to the youth squad!

-1 I think there should be other changes in youth academy system. Reducing age of incoming juniir doesnt solve any of the current problems, only add new ones

This can solve the faster aging problem a little bit because the players from YS will be a bit younger.

Young players who entered the youth academy between 14-15 years old would always have to leave from 16 years of age, what would be achieved is 16 years and older with higher levels when leaving the academy.

No no... They could come from the age of 14 at earliest and promote to the senior team at the age of 16 at earliest... It's not a fixed age in which they MUST promote :-)

Exact!!! from the age of 16 they could go up to the senior team always depending on the weeks they entered the youth academy. All 14 or 15 year old youth academy players would always have to be in the youth academy as a minimum of enough weeks to leave after 16.
It could be the case of a youth player from the academy who entered with 14 years and for the weeks to rise to the senior team with 19 years.

+1 . Seen lots of divine, unearthly youth pulls at 19 or 20 age which worth nothing ..

Or maybe like this : Just reduce the maximum weeks in youth schools for young players. Maybe max 1.5 season

+1 But its doesn't solve much the problems.

Y.S need for sure many more reform to really improve UX :

1) that's depend too much on luck and random things. (nb of youngs by weeks, random starting skills (max 6) and distribution, random number of weeks in school, random ages, random talent)

2) Youngs potentials are undiscoverable. Even if we watch junior matchs that's nearly impossible to understand skills and distribution (position) since youngs matchs are really poor skilled.. Only "talent" is predictable but from 15 weeks (1 season)

3) Its usually a lost in economic balance, only a small minority of youngs (less than 5%) are valuable, most (95%) should be sack or can be sell at low prices. Finlay, only lucky Y.S can be profitable for a minority of young stars selling to multi-millions.

+1.. Max waiting time could get lower with age. I mean like if the player joins at his 18, max 20 weeks; if 17 max 25, 16 max 30.. Something like that

good point. With shortening the season, the time juniors spend in YS should reduce as well.

-1 unreal idea
As far as i know DEVs want to REDUCE too many divine players, so any proposal, to make juniors even stronger, has no chances to pass.
