ATM yes, as I can get promoted this season.

I have no chance in SOD or T20. We'll see what league I'm in next season for Youths, and if so I'll aim to just stay up, then focus on SOD and T20 as I believe that the 2 worst teams from Div 3 that come down to Div 4 will be beatable next season.

i cant get promoted coz i suck, and ill probably get relegated, i hope so it will be a bit easier  :D

good point Flecth like your thinking, a mate of mine Smiddie found something very useful for me which i am using now.

You will need a superior+ youth academy to be able to train a average/average with ordinary secondaries to be a decent play to make seniors, and those players cost like 500k and the investment are high, and still rarely you pull them.

its based on luck, you might pull a few now just means in few seasons time you will have pulled 0 more to make up for it.

so what your saying is that all money should be invested into seniors, youths are a waste of money

Not all your money, but there is proof that investing in Youths is a waste of money unless you have a high end academy like lavish/deluxe and abit of luck with pulls (or loads of cash to begin with).

invest in seniors what you can afford but still make a slight profit.

few things i can say here, (you should read the article)

1. seniors = 10-12yrs of training
youths = only 4

2. SOD/T20 = 8x more money at 3x that cost. meaning wages on average are 3x higher in seniors then that of youths, but you make 8x the money which easily covers it (not sure about the exact figures but its close enough)

and IMO much more fun.

In saying that i think youths are totally waste of money and its proving in ROB's article but i still think training 16yr old and being competitive in youths would be nice, so once im in Div 2 or 1 depending on my finance i will start to invest, but until then im going pure seniors and putting all my money into it so i get up there quicker.

I never realised it but wow, i had been investing so much into my youths for nothing

Makes sense Cookie, but I'm only investing 15k in Youths, and 25k in seniors ATM. That's only cos of the promotion issue. Next year will be different as I know that I have a chance of being promoted in SOD and T20.

No point this year for me. My aim is to have all 3 of my teams in Div 3 by the end of next season

no worries fletch. has changed my mind on youths. its a good read for teams in financial problems

[roo boys!]

Yep i Don't really like investing in youths.

[Justin Bieber]

It's way too much to invest Improving+ for Seniors, so just keep both on improving for now :).

Hoping to get excellent by season's end.

[roo boys!]

I have Improving+ for seniors but Declining+ for youths now ;)
