The big thing to remember here is that the majority of youth players will start out in somebodies team anyway, through the youth academies. So the way JP is used will be very different. At the same time the sooner you can sort out the good from the bad in your academy the better (so your not paying wages to unwanted players), having the higher levels of JP will give you an advantage there.

To put it simply the promising looking player you want to assess will probably be attached to someone's academy from day one anyway – so it's about whether or not you want to buy that player or not, and if you can assess their potential sooner than they can then that's an advantage.

Personally i am very excited for JP to be toned down BUT it seems to me that unless you have the higher skills JP is basically useless. 56 days to assess somebody's potential and then it ends up being 50% accurate? Why even bother?

One has to question whether the JP skill will even be worth learning anymore – it seems that by the time you assess a promising-looking player he will already have been snapped up by somebody else! But perhaps managers who are currently using this system in beta can shed some light on my concerns…

Its the best feature ever added through fml progress.

We shouted for this since first beta release of fml.

It will bring a new youth era to the game and an absolutely thrilling long term feeling.

Lets hope it will be ready and shinny on time and available on the first day of reset.

Good stuff
