New Faces Every Monday
The sports school spits out 1–5 young candidates weekly — raw talents between 15 and 17 years old. Not every week brings candidates (it's a question of luck and your school level), and never more than a handful at once. You look them over and decide: accept and add to your roster, or reject and make room for better ones.
The Better the School, the Better the Prospects
With each level of your sports school, candidate quality rises. Even more important: the right staff. Youth coaches make your prospects stronger, talent scouts increase their potential. A well-built school with two top people regularly delivers gems, while an unattended shack only sends you average players.
Accept or Keep Looking?
Accepted players become part of your roster immediately. They start with zero experience — raw diamonds waiting to be polished. Mind your roster limit (50 players). And: once rejected, a candidate never appears again. So think carefully!
Sports school players need time. Don't expect an immediate starter — but in 2–3 seasons, the unremarkable 15-year-old can become a solid pro.
Evaluating candidates
Every candidate brings their own strengths and a certain potential. Potential is the most important focus: a 15-year-old with high potential can become the foundation of your team, even if his current values are still modest. Also watch the quality of the attributes – it determines how fast the player trains later.
Accept or reject
Accepted players immediately become part of your roster and start with zero experience. Your roster is limited to 50 players – if it is full, you must first make room. Only reject if you are sure, because a rejected candidate never appears again. So weigh carefully: does the talent fit your gaps and your long-term planning?
Expanding school & staff
With every level of your sports school the quality of the candidates rises. Even more important is the staff: youth trainers make your prospects stronger, talent scouts raise their potential. A well-built school with two top people regularly delivers gems, while an untended shack only sends average players.
Accept young talents even if you don't need them immediately – they mature over seasons and can later be sold or integrated. Your roster limit is the only hard cap.
Developing prospects
Accepted talents start with zero experience and modest values. The key to their development is daily training, ideally with special training set. A young player with high potential and high quality in the chosen attribute makes the biggest jumps. Patience pays off: over several seasons talents mature into starters.
The right timing
Developing talents only pays off if you have enough roster spots and training capacity. If your roster is full or your training center weak, your prospects' potential goes to waste. First bring your infrastructure to a solid level before taking in masses of talents – that way you get the most out of every candidate.
Watch your candidates over several weeks and feel free to reject weak talents. A free roster spot is valuable – use it for players who really fit your plan.
Link the sports school to your long-term strategy: talents with high potential are your stars of tomorrow – treat them like an investment in the future.
