Hello
I know it's just the beginning (not even a week has passed), but the game in this format will become just a diary to check off in two seasons, because the randomness here is hugely limited.
I see here a strong inspiration from another game, but there some solutions were much better.

TACTICS
Very few different formations, from the very beginning everyone will focus on strong training of defenders. Randomness does not exist, in each case you will set your formation from the available pool of players.

YOUTHS
In two seasons, rich guys will be competing against poor players with 5* players. Everyone can choose the junior they want - the position and even the side of the field they play on!!
--> the selection should be limited to talent (*) OR POSSIBLY also to position,
--> add a random junior age 13-16,
--> make it possible to trade juniors.

The steps above will mean that everyone will have to try to get the dream tream, because the unwanted youth's position will have to be sold. At the same time, commissions will be added to the country's fund and the game will last longer.
Otherwise (!!) everyone will set their lineup today and it will be already 'endgame' in next two seasons, due to the lack of reasons to make transfers and every 'whale will have everything on 5* with every position he wants directly from the beginning.
The transfer market will not exist, why would it? Everyone will train their own players today...

hey, thanks for the input.

I see your concern but you are leaving out a lot of factors, limitations and features.

• When you spawn a 5* youth, you are not guaranteed a perfect player, his starting skills will range from bad to good and you cant control that, you can get a semi developed 5* or badly developed.
• Youth Centers have limited space, max 11 slots. You can have up to 30 players in your team so you cant train a full squad. When playing in the top league, there are plenty of days with more than 1 match per day, you will need to rotate.
• Youth players come with only 1 field side trained, you might need to train extra sides, costs money.
• Player traits will make a difference in the big teams, some traits are pretty good, for example it wont be easy to have a full team of "determined" players, "set peice specialist" and "influencial" captain. You will have to use the transfer market to find these gems, for sure.
• Training a 50 AVQ youth to 100 takes some work too, we will see how easy it gets and adjust.
• More things will be added to fine tune your squad.
