Lrrr Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Found this link online don't know its only recent or old and posted before, not overly official but somewhat interesting I thought none the less. Image also appears in the article which explains. Think we'd come out quite well in a 17/18 version. https://trainingground.guru/articles/academy-audit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gifford Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 It would be better to see this over the course of a few years. The games at the end of season would account for a lot of appearances for youth players at midtable teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
