Youth Player Promotions
It was brought to my attention that there was a problem with many of the youth players promoted to the senior ranks – they were keeping their form, goals, ratings, etc and it was skewing a few areas of the game. I have been through all the youth players that have been promoted to senior ranks and have adjusted their stats to reflect only their senior team appearances.
To clarify; all youth players promoted to senior ranks go up at the same skill and retain any international points they may have gained. But they lose form dots, goals, cautions and their performance record is wiped clean.

Im persoanlly glad this has happened and will be the case going forward, although i had not mentioned this i always felt the youth players had it a bit easy coming from the youth league and getting B caps because of their form
Have any of these players been traded between teams??
If so would the goals, form etc have increased their value at the time of sale??
Players have been traded yes, but only 2 had ever played. Strange how untried players seem to be in demand!
For me an untried player is a possible hidden star. Granted they often turn out to be donkeys but is the possiblity that holds their appeal for me.
Your not wrong LB …. untried Cruso’s go for a bomb under the pretance they will notch a 9 every game as they are not tainted with a god forbid 6 rating
Aye, excellent idea. I don’t see how form from the youth league should be carried over to the first team.
It’s simply, not fair on those that are playing in a games!
I came a cropper on this one. I saw the form of a youth player meant that if I promoted him, he would start the B games – so earlier this week, I traded away a B cap player for a youth player, intending to promote him just before the B cap game he can play in (My youth GK Grootes). It appears I have lost a good player for nothing now. Ah well – can’t read it all every day.
This is fair. I also like the idea that a youth player can still be in the international b teams with their form. makes the promoting them situation more interesting.
Yep glad this is the case & glad i read this before deciding what to do this week!!!!
Whilst I was disappointed at first as had set a plan around this I can understand the reasoning.
However I do think that if a youth player has been playing excellently in the youth league then maybe they should carry some form with them.
I suggest that when a player is promoted they undergo a similar form reset to when an international is played:
0-2 form youth = 0 form senior
3-4 form youth = 1 form senior
5-6 form youth = 2 form senior
7-8 form youth = 3 form senior
9-10 form youth = 4 form senior
and so on.
If this is still a bit high then maybe 1 form dot for every 3 gained in the youth league could work. As someone who’s playing amazingly as a youth would be on the radar for others like international managers from a youth stage. They would be given a chance over some players who aren’t really playing well (or at all).
Failing that I likely the idea of Mark C’s suggestion of youth players playing well enough getting a P to show them as a real prospect.
