IcarusAbides Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 On the facilities tab under club information there is something called youth setup category with a number, I've seen 0,1 and 3 but I have no idea what it refers to, does anyone know? Is it a case of the higher the number the better or does it have nothing to do with quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajj 7 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I believe the numbers in the English Leagues relate to the EPP - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Player_Performance_Plan Not sure about the zero's but Youth Academies are ranked from 1 to 4, with "Category 1 academies will have high contact time with young players, require a minimum of 18 full-time staff and an operational budget of £2.5 M.[5] Academies will be reviewed every two years and re-categorised if necessary. Categorisation is the result of an independent audit.". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, thanks The 0 was after a club had been taken over so that may have had something to do with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
