Why is it doing this? Only players aged 16 and above are added to the youth academy. However, depending on when you lowered the age, those 16 year olds will have been trained longer and have better stats when generated. You won't see players aged under 16 in the youth academy as like in real life their would be hundreds who eventually get trimmed down to < 30 when they get to this age

Now we're up to 2034 and the seasons are ticking over quickly with more and more teams winning things, changing clubs etc, it's getting harder to keep track of who's won what. It'd be great if the owner rankings pages could be expanded - I had enough free time today to be able to go through the history and do a quick mock-up of the kind of thing I'm suggesting - unless I've missed anything or made any mistakes the numbers here are correct, so even if it'd be a pain to implement and doesn't end up happening, this at least shows where we are in august 2034 and I or someone else could easily update it each season. The 'trophy points' column I didn't give much thought to and could be changed (if it even needs to be there at all), I just added it as a way to get a default order, with 1000 for a UCL, 500 for league titles and europa leagues, 250 for domestic cups and minor international tournaments. The main idea of it is just to keep a record of trophies won, rather than to give a ranking or replace the existing points system (which would complement this nicely, since winning big trophies isn't the only barometer of success in this game - some owners are doing great developing teams and selling them on etc) It doesn't include MLS as I wasn't sure what actually counts as winning! Also didn't include anything below top flight as there's just too much of it Then the drop down menu could show tables for each country - e.g. a table for England, with columns for Premier Leagues, FA Cups, League Cups; a 'Continental' Table, with columns for Champions League, Europa League, CONCACAF, Copa America etc. As ever, just a suggestion and probably a fairly low priority one - don't know how big a job it would be or whether there'd be enough interest in it from other players to make it worthwhile. Personally though I think it'd be a nice thing to have in place while (hopefully) we're still in the early days of the game - if it gets to 2060, 2100 etc it could be cool to have those stats, but would be more of a nightmare to do at that point. It was only when putting that table together that I realised how much Boble had actually won, and that was all in pretty recent history! edited by longsands on 12/08/2023 Not quite what you suggested, but I have added a "trophy" view now to the Owner Rankings if you change the Type to "Trophies", you initially get an overview of rankings with various categories. You can then select Trophy View of "Detailed" to get a breakdown of who has won what and how many times

I'll check...I think I set minimum "cup class" to rule out things like the FA trophy/ shield. But I'll amend it so it includes Scottish League cup.

OwnGoal Posts: 57 10 days ago	OwnGoal Posts: 57 anyway to make it so you see your youth team players potential more accurately the older they get? for example when they are 16 you see to within 250, when they are 17 to within 100 and when they are 18 to within 50. also can the AI teams actually sign their best youth players instead of releasing them. edited by OwnGoal on 16/09/2023

I'll think about the other question re increasing visibility
