After simulating two seasons in Czech Republic I started my first youth academy challenge with newly promoted Banik Sokolov.
Things to consider:
- This challenge is on FM22
- Not attempting to get on any leader boards
- All facilities, recruitment etc. ranked 'adequate'
Now on to Season 3 of the save
Some interesting points (and some comical):
- Two consecutive 9th place finishes
- Accidentally had youth recruitment assigned to my assistant manager and not the head of youth development 😂
- However, he brought through Ladislav Kucera CA 1.5* who has quickly developed in to our best player by star rating
- The board also decided to downgrade our training facilities because of 'changes in technological advancements'
Never seen this before but it had to happen on a youth academy challenge!
Doing well in our third season. Some of our academy players are really starting to shine.
I might post again once we get promoted to the Czech First Division 🙂
