Youth

Is anyone getting really poor youth intake since the last update like 1 and a half star max?

Don't look at the stars to much but instead look at their stats and ask the staff for a report on him to see his personality. I have raised some poor " star rating " players into really good rotation players in my saves. Look at their crucial stats for their roles and your tactical approach.

some players are poor when they are youth candidates, but after signing onto youth contract, their rating changed. It also depends on the player's development rate, the stars can increase or decrease.

Second season of my Man Utd save I was really disappointed with my intake. Ass manager said none stood out and were rated about 1-2 stars. After the game against my under 18's he recommended a couple would be worth signing so I thought might as well. After they had signed I had a 4 star PA keeper and a 4 and 3.5 star CM's. So the lesson is as other have said look at their stats for their position and their personality and take a punt. At worse you will have a youngster on a low wage for a couple of years at best you could have a future star.

i had a player recently in my youth intake who was rated 1.5 stars, then when he was signed onto a contract he went up to 4.5 stars so look for stats
