Youth Academies
Every side in Einnek Football has a Youth Academy. These academies are used to generate Youth Points which enables a manager to develop new young players for their side.
There are 4 grades of Youth Academy; Basic, Small, Medium & Large. The higher the grade of Youth Academy, the more higher the standard of coaching staff and facilities and therefore more Youth Points will be generated. Every side starts with a Basic Youth Academy.
| Academy Grade | Youth Points Generated |
|---|---|
| Basic | 20 per season (awarded in Week 1) |
| Small | 20 per season (awarded in Wk 1) + 1 additional YP each league game |
| Medium | 20 per season (awarded in Wk 1) + 2 additional YPs each league game |
| Large | 20 per season (awarded in Wk 1) + 3 additional YPs each league game |
Youth Academies can be upgraded at the discretion of each manager for a set cash value. These upgrades require a maintenance fee to be paid to keep the facilities up to standard. Failure to pay the maintenance fees will see the level of academy drop 2 levels after a period of 22 weeks.
| Upgrade | Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic to Small | £4,000,000 |
| Small to Medium | £5,000,000 |
| Medium to Large | £6,000,000 |
The maintenance fees can be paid at any time. This payment will return your Youth Academy to the same standard as it was when the upgrade was purchased and a new period of 22 weeks at that standard begins. Costs for maintenance are calculated based on a set fee per level and the number of weeks since the last upgrade or maintenance fee was paid.
| Academy Grade | Cost per Week |
|---|---|
| Basic | N/A |
| Small | £190,000 |
| Medium | £355,000 |
| Large | £425,000 |
Example: The maintenance fee for a Medium Youth Academy with 4 weeks remaining will cost 18 * £355,000 = £6,390,000. Failure to pay this fee will see the Youth Academy drop to Basic in 4 weeks time.
