I been doing alot of looking through public schools and have a few thought:

primarily why would anyone build less than an excellent school

and why do people still build in nations such as China or Ireland (anywhere rated less than 5 ball rated)

all i see when i look in them is 100's of disappointing youth who are never gonna sell

i am suprised managers still persist especaly now as a % of construction cost is refunded on demolition

Really, until now my best players in progression rate (80%+), come from my (obviously excellent) schools in Uruguay and Croatia, instead of Netherlands as i expected. It's only my opinion, but i observed that the growing of prog rate of the created players is coincided to the raising of school's quality; i think quality of the school is more important than country rating, at least for highest countries. I don't know what happens with excellent school in low rate (30%-40%) country. Obviously, the higher probability to have a 80+ prog is maximum for 100% countries, but also 80% seem working well. I agree with you in considering useless countries with less than 60% rating. 10/07/2012 19:39

3 seasona ago i made 6 schools in : Algeria, Peru, Australia, Chile,Austria and Ireland

this was b4 update to schools and i recieved some fair juniors like http://uk.strikermanager.com/jugador.php?id_jugador=6883900

who was 48ave on graduation!!


Now these schools would be less than useless


Have any managers recived decent grads from relatively poor schools ?

Its a tough discussion because schools can be looked at from different points of interest and how they are relative to the SM economy as a whole and the individual manager.

I had a two regular schools in the past. Uruguay and Portugal but it was a season or two back so I couldn't tell you for sure how many grads, but I closed it down because the rate at which juniors who were profitable occurred just wasn't substantial and if I wanted to upgrade, there was no discount for upgrading it was the same as starting from scratch.

Weekly cost is so low that selling a player per month they are useful. You don't get much benefit but you get some. 11/07/2012 12:19

player with av 32-35 or 36-40 its unreachable for newbie,so better to open school in poor rated country,like china,,so we can get a player every 2 day,,if we are lucky we can get 36-40 average junior player...and i will promote him,waiting for one week to recover his morale, after our average team will better...after sometime we can sell them on the market... 11/07/2012 13:15
