Hello everyone, hope your having a good season start so far!

I noticed a lot of managers signing foreign prospects, that's fine but keep in mind when you do, the fee that goes to your local federation is split between yours and the player's federation, so you will be raising prizes on other leagues too.

• The amount of prospects available for each country has been reduced.
• When signing a new prospect, the player's potential rating will have to be less or equal to the clubs Youth Center level. So, if you want to sign a 5* player, you need a 5* youth center.
• The spawn timing of new prospects has been slightly randomized.
• Tweaked the prospects panel to provide clearer information overall.
• Finally we have a player comparison tool! When you check players information, you will notice an option to add that player to the comparison panel, you can compare up to 3 players at once.

Cheers!

Nice update 

Hey @nicmo nice work with the new youth system ,but any chance to give home countries a slight advantage on this?

If I am busy irl I will never get a chance to draw best English players.

In my opinion I think would make sense we all see the youth potential earlier in our country.

Hope this makes sense.

humm having some advantage in your own country does make sense.

Great update!

" humm having some advantage in your own country does make sense. "

i don't think its a good ideea this,because some countries have less users and where they are less, they will have big advantage

nice update anyway, keep going with the good job 

@nicmo

I don't like that you added talent to the youth centre. This will reduce access and limit the ability to attract young players + clubs that are new will have a hard game to earn something. It would be better to promote top-up packages in exchange for reducing the player's pull-out.                   

In case local teams have to be advantaged in terms of information time, the number of prospect slots for each country should depend on the number of teams, and maybe also the probability distributions of the spawned players' skills should be somehow related to the level of the League. Otherwise, the system would give a huge advantage to the players of the nations with fewer players and lower competition.

It's not feasible, in my opinion, at least not without a drastic change. Something like that could have made sense at the beginning of the game, when the level was similar in all the countries, but now there are big differences, so when introducing that feature, users should be allowed to relocate to other countries without penalties (i.e. paying to change the country and starting from lower leagues). It's better to give no priority at all

Good update!! 

@zboniak

everyone started from 0, it is fair that you must have youth centre level high for better players, otherwise is for nothing and nobody upgrade the centre

Thanks for the comparaison player its great

maybe you can add statistic match ? (goal, pass, takkle..) ?

@maridiba & @shaow

These countries with close to null potential will get their squads saturated quite fast and we end up in the same situation like now where we loot the countries for top talent anyway.

 Nevermind the continents that cannot sustain a well paid CL competition. Is very unlikely a country like Turkey or Scotland to end up having a team of 20 top home grown youths and I doubt the system will spawn 20 Dets in same country over a very short period of time.

A big country actually may have advantage as you get your youths reseted more often,rather than a small one which may end up buying 0 and staying with same proposals for 1 month.

Plus this system at the moment is detrimental to transfer market. Why would I ever buy a youth when I can cherry pick? May take some time,but I can cherry pick from everywhere.

Barely bought any,anyway.

It all depends how we look at it.

i also don't like so much how it is ,but what i can do

No @Alin, it doesn't depend on how we look at it, at all... It's statistics, maybe not basic, but not too advanced either.

The previous youth system was 100% fair; every user had the same probabilities when spawning players, and there was no way to get an edge over the opponents.

This system offers opportunities for cherry picking and gives a big advantage to those who have scouts, and/or have time to look for youths with available info. It's as if they play with loaded dice.

However, the youth pull is open to everyone, every user can buy scouts and look for youths, without discrimination based on where they live (there is no fixed spawn hour) or where they play.

But if there were an advantage in buying local players, the ones playing in countries with fewer users would always have access to better probability distributions. And even if they fill their club, they would have a money-making machine and could just profit by selling the good youths they don't need for the club.

I mean if u think being able to cherry pick is good, it is cos gives u an opportunity to build an all star team.

If u think this may be bad for transfer market and game funds, then cherry picking ability is bad.

As I said, it depends how I look at it.

Hello everyone. Great update nicmo, thanks for your work.

Given the discussion about the number of teams and number of players available, I think it's a perfect opportunity to make National Teams worthful. I propose to create a Nations League (or cup), where the countries get more youths player depending on their position or performance in this championship. Just as teams get places for CL and CC.

I like this system because it is based on merit and will reward those countries that sign high level youths.

+1 maridiba, in countries with a lot of users is just imposible get any youth now (no one gets even day 6) and thats what its necessary to get them on other countries, if you let advantage to those countries we dont have chances.

And about market, I guess it was dead before this system anyways, at least with that there are more teams getting youths and more money to the founds.

Well, for sure, the new system has pros and cons... it makes the scouts more useful (and now also the youth center), and it's also quite fun, but it could be disruptive for the player's market if there are too many prospect slots for the current user base (that's why I've always supported the old system).

One may like it or not, but for sure, it is fair because it gives the same opportunity to all the users. With a priority for the local youths, that wouldn't be true anymore

Good update :) 

Cherry pick benefits the other country funding and thus reduces the prize of the manager own country, your national fund drop so it's a balance system and better than previous that littraly ruined transfer market as youth players were too accessible even with just level 1 youth center managers started off building their own 5 stars young stars. 

With all said and nothing much done yet, I'd like to invite our great mangers to come shopping for players in my country, helping yourselves to help small country survive inflation 🤑

This is great update so far regardless where need to be adjusted, losing or tightening on later update :)

Finally player market is in reviving 🔥 👍

When i say having some advantage on your own country makes sense, its more of a real world perspective since i am sure its easier to gather information from local kids than foreign... currently i am not sure how to make it work here though. I guess that aspect is already in place since you can know local kids information without a scout.

Well, if you look at how things work in real life, most big clubs have academies and/or affiliate clubs all over the world. In those cases, they have the same knowledge of the local youths as the local clubs, and they may even have an advantage in recruiting them because of their brand.

So, I also guess the scouts here are already doing that. If you have no scouts, you still have the advantage of knowing the local youths
