I think we are all guilty of working hard to understand how something works and then just assuming that it will stay the same. The problem then is the level of facilities at the club and if the player will play and if so how often will he play and in what position/role. When you consider that the overall level of the Facilities was 23 compared to 4, this doesn't see like a good investment for this purpose, (but then again, you wouldn't think it would be). Yes, I thought we had, but that was for FM22 and what did I say at the very start of the thread?

Now obviously this is what I "think" (or more accurately, what I've heard) rather than provable fact, but from what I understand, the development priorities are: <18 - training is more important for development, so if you have better facilities it's better to keep them in youth squad for their development (assuming not good enough to play, at least as sub for first team).

It's only 14 mins long and he deals with 4 slightly different topics and even came up with a conclusion that surprised him, so rather than ignoring it or just blindly accepting it, (he was using quite a small sample size), he actually created a test to work out if the experiment was correct or if his initial assumption had been correct all along. 10 gives us an idea at least. He's 33 now and I know the end is coming for him, but he still out-performs the younger strikers despite the fact that I've got 5 younger strikers ranked above him by CA stars, (and in fact 4 of them are ranked above him by actual CA numbers). 16. 7.
