Buying Youth Players

PepsiGiggs talking to suzukii regarding Youth Players:

Lets look at two players both 15 years old:

Player 1
SC 10 60
OP 20 80
BC 30 50
PA XX XX
AE 25 50
CO 20 40
TA XX XX
DP XX XX

Player 2
SC 40 50
OP 40 70
BC 30 50
PA XX XX
AE 25 50
CO 30 40
TA XX XX
DP XX XX

Player 1 has great skill potentials for being an attacker, but only 105 (currents) in total in the relevant skills.

Player 2's potential is a bit worse but has 165 in "currents" skills.

Player 2 will almost certainly become a very good player, and with some luck a star player. Player 1 has very bad currents and will most likely never reach his "star" potential.

Ask yourself these questions before buying a youth player:

1. Will he play for my youth team?
2. If I can't use him myself, can I train him for one season and somehow make a profit?
   
3. What season will he be ready for my youth team compared to my current youth players?
4. What will he look like in his last year (between age 19-21) of youth team eligibility?
   
5. What will he look like as a senior player?
6. Will he reach his potential skills (can I train him good) before age 27, the age when skills start to deteriorate?
