rinso Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 .. between a youth prospect being in 1st team squad then "made available for reserves" or him just being left in the reserves squad all the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan045 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Do you mean for training purposes? I've found my young players being in the first team squad does help them improve faster. You'd like to think they use the same facilities and coaches as the first team squad do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 yeah for training n getting them to improve. Unable to loan out as he's still 16... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PThomason01 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I guess it would depend on if you have first team coaches with a high "working with youngsters" attribute would be a key factor too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfx Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This is the way I manage my young players. If I'm not using them on my first team (i.e. they are subs with less than 30 minutes) I left them in the reserves team and choose them as subs for the first team. Only put them in my first team if: - They are starters. Not available for reserves - They are subs with a lot of playing time (I would say an average of 30+ minutes). Available for the reserves - I don't have good coaches for the reserve squad. Available for the reserves This works quite well for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they have a full time pro contract then I would say no difference. There will be a difference between first team/made available for U18s compared to U18s. When you look at training for the different squads on the left U21s/reserves mostly share the same coaches & U21/reserve staff are available for first team training.
