i have been playing with teams like cardiff, blackpool and because of such tight budgets, i cant really dig in to the transfer market much. even the players i have, the good ones, because of their high salary demands, i am forced to sell them as soon as i get the right deals..
i heavily rely on my youth players. they have come out good for me. actually it depends on the gameplay as well, like if u play to players strength, if u rely on individuals, u need to have players with those special cards with them, when u play with more physical presence, like to hold on to the ball, u need the height and power in your players, (youth system players lack these in the starting). and If ur gameplay is just take a touch and pass, move fast,(like me) then i think these youth players come good.
the training methods i use is focussed on defence, as i play one touch football, lot of movements, therefore my defence needs to be at their best. Also my players turn a bit defensive, but since i play pass and move more, i hardly feel the need of all the players coming forward.
Running with players is rare for me, therefore these youth team players have been decent for me. its the matter of compromise also as really cant afford players, which are better than mines and at less salaries ... managing is tough, specially when your club in the first season only cant retain players because of losses!
