bean824 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hey all. For the first time on FM I have had a player come through my youth system who could actually be very, very good. The only thing is that I have no idea how to develop him - I've never bothered with training schedules before, for any players, not just for youth team ones. I'm going to download some training schedules to use but again, I have no idea about them. Has anyone got any tips for training youth team players and players in general? Also, are there any very good schedules around on the net that I can download? The player in question is below: Thanks in advance everyone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Playing him is the best way. Make sure he gets enough playing time if not at your club then loan him out to a team that will play him. When they are u18 and as long as they are not good enough to challenge for a first team place, I leave them there and let them benefit from my training. After that loan them out if you can if they are not ready for your first team. You can also tutor him if you want with a senior player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee77 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Tug's training schedule has youth components (do a google search for it). Otherwise, as jod123 says, play him in the odd game or send him out on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimmoMC Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Playing him is very good. On my current Palace game I had loads of youngsters who I bought and as I was in quite a low league (league 1), I played them virtually every game and some are still playing for me five seasons down the line as I'm leading the premiership.

The_Kreman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I dont think it will have a bad affect on his development, but it might have a bad affect on your result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Too much first team exposure can leave a kid jaded; regular substitute appearances is usually the way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
--b-- Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks for the advice guys. i was a little worried he was too young at 16. do you think his stats will improve better playing in the youth team or as a sub in the first team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Do both - play him in youth or reserve games and keep him on the bench for a 15-20 minute run-out in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaz1976 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have a few wonder kids on my squad. is there a minimum number of first team games that they need to play a season to maximize development? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
