Well, in the real world, training facilities and coaches would have a HUGE part to play in how a youngster with potential develops in the future. I'm not sure that the AI of the game goes that deep though. That is, I dont think that it worries about the training facilities of the club too much. The coaches do play a big part however. If you have good/great coaches, then the youngster should develop well. In the case of Saivet and Lulinha, they should become world beaters. But
imo (and I cant be certain about this), ever if you have like 5 star coaches but you give the kids a lot of playing time, the develop the same none-the-less. I think training is most important when you have kids who play in the reserves week-in-week-out. But playing at the top level should help them develop well as there's nothing like actual experience. So if you dont plan to play them a lot in your first team, I suggest you try to send them out on loan as getting say 20 first-team games on loan would still be more beneficial than getting say 30-40 reserve team games.
What I usually do is I play the youngsters in the FA Cup and Carling Cup matches. I generally start with a complete youth team. I only include a couple of the big players if its a tough team I'm up against. Even then, its only a couple or so like I said. I still go mostly with youth. And I try to send my youngsters out on loan only if the offer is "will be a valuable member of the first team". But then again, I play Arsenal so it's much easier for me. With Wolves, it'll be much harder to field a weakened side in any competition. If you cant send them on loan for whatever reason, I suggest you try to include them on your bench atleast in game and bring them on for the last 15-20 mins if you feel the game is secure. That will also help. :thup:
