a few things about youth la
1. if you go the detailed management way, be patient!
2. if you go the lucky draw way (the one i'm using), be extremely patient!
i haven't got any player who could be sold for 20mil.

some of my friends did........... but you can use most of them on 2ndary squad.
as for coach, defensive coach contributes more than offensive coach. this means the gains on your defensive rating boost with defensive coach is more than that of offensive coach.
i think for starters, go for defensive coach (likely you don't have midfield, defense is important).
would aim for 3 passable defenders and 1 passable GK. for starters. in short, aim for the whole team being passable level on the primary stats.
if you can go all SOLID, of course even better la.
passable gk (2) check
passable defenders (5) + 1 solid check
6 im trainees check (solid and excellent)
wing 2 passable pm inad winger, 2 solid winger ... still hunting for trainees
striker 2 solid 2 passable check
so how am i doing?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have 1 solid defender, 2 passable ... my centre def rating is inad
my 3 ims are excellent ... plus 2 passable WTM (passable pm) ... team rating for mid is only weak
can sum1 explain ... still waiting for an answer to this question
