I'd still like an explanation for how the game allows some teams to get as many good youth pulls in 3-4 seasons as other teams get in 13+ seasons.
It makes the game really unbalanced. I expect to see Walkinshaw Wasps in Youth Div. 1 very soon with the run they've had.

Got one of those over 25k rated youth pulls today. First in a long time. And with one talent which will match up quite nicely with him. I'll train fielding to ~reasonable then put him on batsman/keeper.

This free membership has allowed me to see you've still got the wood over me @HeathDavisSpeed on historical rivalry. And by some distance.

Hmmm. Doesn’t feel that way. But we’ve probably been playing matches against each other for 15+ years so perhaps the matchup has been closer in recent times?

Another interesting youth pull today.
Reasonable batting, reasonable power, ordinary bowling.... everything else is atrocious or dreadful. RHB, RM and Old Ball Bowler trait.
With the boost to batting and power it seems sensible to just put him on fielding training until tech and field catch up a bit.

Continued with the same trend for youth pulls. 15k and of no use whatsoever.
I am down to 16 youths in my squad with a couple to leave over the next 2 weeks. Currently bidding on a 16 year old bowler to boost the squad, but we really need bats and there aren't any that are decent and 16 on the transfer market at the moment.
We also have limited funds due to the fact we have to buy 90% of our players because our youth pops are ****ed.

My main team has a minimal academy, and my affiliate has lavish, YP quality is night and day different:

I'm keen to boost my main academy more, but after my original team went bot, I figured no academy and market was the best way to catch up from scratch. Affiliate I'm trying homegrown (no TM - not even for selling!)

I have a lavish academy for my main team and am still getting ****ed in the arse on youth pulls.
Meanwhile, old mate who has 24 homegrown youths in his squad, with around 90% of them being very useful or better at 1.1 level, pulled this guy today:
The balance seems way out of whack. This guy has been pulling an average of 5 good to great youth pulls a season for 4 and a half seasons straight to get to this point. More decent youth recruits than I have had in 13+ seasons.
To be fair, his academy is another level higher than mine, but being at lavish and getting nothing for it is just a waste of money. I've been paying FTP membership for a while now, but I am out after this one runs out.
