I did something like this just that the youth academy was set at 20. What I found out was that during the first season, the AI got pompous and didn't sign any players. In the end, they finished last. In the 2nd, they started signing players for extravagant prices and finished 1st in the championship. In the subsequent season, they finished 3rd with more crazy signings.
I can add more to this if anyone is interested. (Btw, I simmed the whole thing as England's manager on holiday and won the Euro 2008 and Confederations Cup, it may have an effect on the AI.
