Bongo-Bongo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You can win the leaugue with youngsters, but if things don't go your way, you could see morale take a dramatic drop and find it harder to get out of the rut, whilst more experienced players are likely to to keep positive. Personally, I would bring in the youngsters gradually, phasing them into the first team and phasing the older players out, you should be able to build up their experience without risking the success of the team.

johno Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 you can win yes. i like to have a fairly youthful team (ave age 24 or 25 i think) . however you have to keep their morale high. priase a lot more. also as their mental attributes will be lower you are likely to see less consistant results. furthermore if you fall behind in games can be hard to come back. one last piece of advice i find is to reduce the teams creativity so they follow your orders more.

llama3 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i replaced hleb and rosicky with giovani and modric who are less experienced but consequently won the league! so if they are good enough then thats great. age itself isnt an issue, its how it affects ability. ability is most important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 on a side note by squad average age is 24, with a goalkeeper the only player over 30 years old, i always have younger players, always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
