What were they stats like in game?

Third graduate of the season, second all 90+ (after Dior)

Rusty Butt (10), was 99/99/99 in the academy promoted all 92+ fixed attributes

Great name!

Worth an extra 10m, I'd say!

!!

93+ and 91+

I?d like to know how teams with a highest ever rating of 61 can get youth coaches to train up 90 rated youth players

It requires a little bit of knowledge and quite a bit of luck. Seems like some balanced players refuse to train up at all while other shoot up very rapidly, and it seems like youth coach level doesn't have a huge influence.

Took a gamble on a completely balanced 12 year old rated 23 who's already shot up to 42 after only 6 weeks of training. Meanwhile a completely balanced 15 year old rated 53 hasn't moved an inch a season and a half later. *shrug*

I'm pretty sure that when the Youth Academy was redesigned a few years ago one of the decisions made was that it would be open to all clubs to train youths to the highest level while they were there.
After they had been promoted from the Academy into the senior squad then staff ratings would govern their progress.

Well yesterday my scouts came back with a kid rated 18/12...0

I'm almost tempted to recruit him just to see what happens - almost, but not quite enough

Oh, that's a shame!

Another FA 80s youth promoted and it goes to show how much the game has changed that I'm not even all that excited about it. Still, welcome Munro Farquharson.

Third 90+ FAs player promoted in the space of 56 days

Gabriel Epam, 17 year old midfielder.

That is impressive. I just took a look at your team.

I am loving your young midfielder by the name of Rusty Butt. That is amazing!

Indeed, ramster is going to make quite a splash when he eventually takes the plunge into Serie A.

After my Christmas disappointment, it's nice to get a decent promotion.

A Campos is not too shabby.

Looks quite amazing.

I am pleased to say that I now have a Rusty Butt.

The club's doctor has been called on to carry out any medical checks.

I've just promoted a 100 rated youth defender, Caio Ximenes and I'm happy with his stats.

Unfortunately he will be my last decent youth for a long time as none of my others are improving

Well, after the disappointment of my last promotion and the news that my 59 rated defender has reached his peak, a little good news in that one kid increased by over ten points (better get a move on, he's 17 and rated 62) and my scouts turned up a balanced 61 rated 14 year old.
