The quality of your youth depends on your rank of global youth camp contribution in the world of GKO as follow.
1 LA 10+ (random)
2-10 LA 10
11-25 LA 9
26-50 LA 8
51-100 LA 7
101-200 LA 6
201-500 LA 5
501+ LA 3-4
If your rank in the selected country is 1
and global rank is between
101-200 -> You get LA7
201-500 -> You get LA6
But if your rank in the selected country is not 1
and global rank is between
101-200 -> You get LA 6
201-500 -> You get LA 5
This system is too rudimentary. It is a decent starting place but there needs to be more variability in CA, PR, and age among youth camp players. Why not use some other factors that would increase (variability in) these attributes. For example:
Ranking Category:
Rank
Global Investment (club) National Investment (club) Global mean Youth Investment (nation)* 1 LA 10+ (random) PR 6 Age 15-16 LA+1** CA 3,5 - 4,0
2-5 LA 10 PR 6 Age 16-17 CA 3,0 - 4,0
6-14 LA 9 PR 5 Age 15-16 CA 3,0 - 3,5
15-42 LA 8 PR 5 Age 16-17 CA 2,5 - 3,5
43-124 LA 7 PR 4 Age 15-16 CA 2,5 - 3,0
124-367 LA 6 PR 4 Age 16-17 CA 2,0 - 3,0
368-1097 LA 5 PR 3 Age 15-16 CA 2,0 - 2,5
1098+ LA3-4 PR 3 Age 16-17 CA 1,0 - 2,0
* Includes 2-season youth camp investment PLUS 2-season academy maintenance costs AND 10% of total academy investment in the nation.
** LA bonus only if LA < 7 from global investment rank
The best player would thus be CA 1,0-4,0 (depends on nation) LA 10+(random) PR 6 Age 15-16.
- this system would make youth camp players more attractive, even for small investors, yet it changes the distribution of LA very little
- players from bigger GKO nations will have higher CA (it makes sense, don't you think?)
- also, this system uses more evenly distributed intervals
