yup. i never loan out players under 19.altough i mostly keep in in my teams to 20-21.if at that age they are good players and u-21 players i usealy loan em out or move em to first team.
train youth players in the kye areas they should master when they get adult.defenders -->loads of defending and no finishing and so on.dont waste time train defending for attackers or set peices for attackers.
in my squad i usealy run 5 players for each spot.
1-first team player
2.back up for 1
3.hot prospect and very likely be able to be moved to 1-2
4.long shot (age 14-19)
5.long shot (age 14-19)
nr 3 prospect get first team matches in when :
1.useless cup games
2. when nr 1 or 2 cant play couse bans/injury
3 when i have won leauge at end or it doesnt matter how i play the last games.
