[Still too many old players in squads, too few young 20 yrs old on a world class level]

Hi there, I just wanted to add my own 10 year holiday game test with you too to compliment @abcdf 's findings. Here is an overview of the average squad age in the top 5 leagues and thier highest reputation teams:

This was run with these 5 countries loaded in full detail with a medium database.

Some bullet points:

- Loans of young players have improved

- Of the 19 teams above the average squad age increased by 2 years

- Of the 19 teams above there were only three players in their teens in the match day squads

- It seems players playing well into thier late 30s has decreased, but squads are still too old.

- National teams still have a issues where older players with high reputation get call ups over young players, ending up with aging National team squads

- Reputation is still too powerful and the AI is still not realistically developing and utilising young players

I am happy to upload the saved game if that helps.

 

For me same clubs June 2030 but with Daveincid's realism pack loaded, and begin playing version 23.2

Man City - 28

Liverpool - 27

Chelsea - 28

Arsenal - 29

Newcastle - 26

Spurs - 27

Man U - 26

PSG - 28

Monaco - 28

Lyon - 27

Dortmund - 24

Bayern - 26

AC Milan - 26

Inter Milan - 28

Napoli - 27

Juventus - 28

Barcelona - 27

Real Madrid - 27

Atletico Madrid - 29

Avg 27.1

So the problem seems a little less severe with Dave's pack, but it still exists, though when I get to 2032 it could be the same as yours.
