Interested to know how people value youth players?

Interested to know how people value 15-16 year old with not much training.

If you use scouts, don't they give a variance between the reasonable/promising/formidable/enormous attributes? So how would you determine which one it is?

Also going off training with such limited trains, wouldn't it be too much up to variance( for example the training could be high or low at the time, but turn out completely different in the long run?)

Are there any other secrets/ tips that people use to get deals on players in this young age group?

That's the risk you take with youths
Sometimes they live up to potential and sometimes they drop off. Comparing training to similar players and similar ages. Looking at training percentages.

Also just taking value into consideration, you can roughly tell how good a player is by these factors.

Noone can know for sure the true value of a player but we can make estimations and risk assess.

Just what you feel comfortable paying can be enough.
Also I wouldn't deal in youths until minimum large training facility and preferably higher than that as the youths will lose key stats and drop off dipping their value.

Just looked at your squad and it seems you know what you're doing with youth players

I look at the training and choose the best value I can find at the time ( providing i think it's worth it based on training) and hope for the best really I haven't really bought less than 10 trainings before, but even then there is some variance.
