Chat youth academy strategy?

[chvyy]

hi guys i was wondering what people’s strategy when it comes to promoting youth academy players mid season is?

so the situation i’m in right now: i’m in october and my new crop of youth players has 3 players with 5 star potential. do you guys typically wait for more knowledge on players or promote them immediately? whats better for their development?

i typically wait for like B or C knowledge on the players but sometimes i just wont promote them unless another team is interested. lmk what yall do

I promote 4+ stars at the beginning, and w8 for the end of the season for all the rest.

In FMM23, I promote ALL players immediately, and then decide what to do with them 🙂

I do the same as MiGueLMD. Your coach will suggest it had a negative impact on the rest by promoting the good players. I don't think it makes any difference though as i don't even recall seeing the potential increase/decrease when i left the good players in there all season before deciding at the end. I found that the risk of keeping them in the Youth Development is that sometimes another club can try and poach them, so you could end up losing them.

Meanwhile, I've just had the same injury message at the same time to 3 different academy players 😂
