If my B team is in a playable league I get rid of my U18 team via the editor and play all of the best U18 players in the B team. This allows you to focus on the very best players from your youth intake and have complete control of development from the age of 15 till they make their first team debut without having to loan them out as well as lowering the costs to your club.  I essentially do what Brentford did with one difference that my B team are in a playable league.

But from the ages of 15-18 they just need good coaching. I'd much prefer to separate the young youth and older youth / reserves.

I might try the in-game editor and see what happens .  I've never used it before. It's annoying having a youth team and B that doesn't do anything.

Nice one, thanks!

Neither. Loan then out. Since they won't get real game time (unless you always schedule friendlies for your B team). Older players won't be played in u19 team because of the rules. While to my knowledge Andorra would not have a "real" B Team in a competitive league like Barcelona or Real Sociedad have. It's just a reserve team for which you constantly have to schedule friendlies yourself if you want players there to get any game time.

I did think this but sometimes FM fills in the player stats as if they were in a real league and I wondered if this would have any effect? Take for example this regen I signed;

Not posted in a long while...

I'm FC Andorra in FM22 and have reached the dizzying heights of La Liga and I have one question.

Am I better off putting 'older' youth players in my B team or leaving them in my uner-19's? Now, neither teams are in a recognised league. I know when a player reaches 18 they're development is much better if they're playing first team senior football so am I right in thinking I'd be better off moving a bunch of them into my B team.

Does that make sense?
