[Ajax - When Real Life Meets Football Manager - FM14]

I ignore star ratings, they don't really tell how good the player really is. But regardless its down to you really. Myself I keep a small squad of around 14 players then the rest are all youth players, that way I can give everyone game time as that's the most important factor. Results for me are secondary to the development of the player. Not everyone is brave enough to play this way though

Yes I pretty much done the same thing on my last save, Im Middlesbrough by the way as they have a excellent YF & TF, but I pretty much sold most of my squad and started with the youngsters which got me the sack come November, All a learning curve I suppose.

Great Read, Although when would the best time to try out my youngsters I mean If I have a player who's currently ability is 1 or even 2 star rating, when should I play him as I have players with more ability that him in my first team?
