Developing youth players

[pyeduke]

I have a highly rated 16 year old who has come through my youth set up. His natural position and role is striker > deep lying forward. However, I play with an AP as a number 10 and then an advanced forward up front, so a DLF doesn’t really fit my system. 
 

With this in mind, I’ve decided to retrain him as an advanced playmaker. I’ve taken control of his training which is going well, but whenever he plays for my u18 side, he plays up front. 
 

Is there any way to ensure he plays as an AP for the u18s without having to take full control of the team (which I really can’t be bothered to do)?

 

Any help greatly received.

In your Staff Responsibilities, make sure the option is selected that U23s and u18s play the same tactic as the 1st team.
