Have had youth academy now for two seasons, and still not ONE youth player has come through. I find this very weird. Have anybody else found this? Would be nice with at least one non-grey in the youth team...
yeh,Im at Yeading town and I find no youth come through. I do though have horrible facilities but i have got 5 or 6 grey players ,most have flopped,but a few a keeping there place in the side.
Under FM05, having a youth academy practically means you get no youth players anymore. If you improve them to that level though, injuries diminish. Decisions, decisions...
I've just started my second season with Workington (basic facilities - no improvements) and we had 3 youths promoted from the 'academy'. Couldn't tell you if they're any good yet, though.

Could be, bit I've now started the 8th season with Stenhousemuir. In all those years I haven't gotten one player through. I figured as long as we had pooh facilities, nothing got through, bit with top facilities surely something would crop up.
I usually don't get a single player or very crap ones the first season with an Academy.
This being said, I never had the pleasure of having an academy in FM06, so I don't know if it sorts itself some seasons after as it did in previous iterations.
In my current save which started with Workington, I got a single ute every season for the five I was there. Then i moved to Aberdeen in the middle of my season 6, club has average facilities, and got, I think, ten utes at the start of the next 'season.'
