FMC training: first squad vs reserves?

[RobertPL]

I wonder if it makes any difference if I move young prospect to the first squad to make him train with first team players but I don’t play him in first team matches and make him available for the reserves so basically it’s the same situation like he would still be in the reserve squad except the fact that he will show up in the individual training screen of the first squad instead of the reserves. Does it make any difference in training? Can he develop faster?

In full FM very often first team and the reserves share the same training facilities and the youth team has separate youth facilities so moving young player from the youth team to the reserves or to the first squad can make sense if he’s already good enough to train with first team players. I’m not sure how it works in FMC and what is the role of youth facilities if there are none U-18/youth teams in FMC?

He will be training with better players. He will develop fastest with match time.

Youth Facilities are used for the reserve team.
