Is it actually worth investing in the youth i always invest fully and when it comes to the end of the year i never have any good young players coming through i've just had one bowler averaging 19 for the 2nd team (so curious to see how he does) and i've had a few batters averaging 40 but they haven't done much for the first team. i was just wondering have you ever had players who do big things who come from the youth team or has anyone had any good players come through with our any investment?

dont forget that if you get a youth who is 19 or 20 he is going to need 5 or 6 years of technique traning to get to his best level, always invest the maximum in youth and it will eventually pay dividens

Yeh, always use full youth money. It is way worth it.

Depends on what you want, of course it would vary on how much time spent by each individual manager but however long you see fit but I just use it until someone better who maybe under 25 years old and then ythey usually losely it unless they are about late 20's which I take it off them anyway. Lots of different opinions though as I am sure you know.

Yer its good because if they get a contract it costs u nothing.

But one thing I dont understand is - When you start off playing County season i.e the 2006 season you see a truckload of Youth players in the list but as the seasons go by you see only a handful of Youth players...Why is it so?

It just does. Maybe it is because at the start of the game you can't trade players so you just get youths.
