Preparing the funds: true, however it doesn´t change anything since you have to do it every time you want to buy a player, this would may be only safe your time when searching to player with optimal skills.

Time of sale: Maybe could be solved by ending at random time in 3 days +/- 24 hours?

I still believe a U-18 team would address the desire that many people bring up in regards to both 1. Academy type teams and 2. The games overall pace. These have both been brought up repeatedly and making a youth team an available option for everyone including players who aren't paying supporters would give people that extra player development but would also add more content to the game without actually accelerating anything already current to it. And again, this would be an available Option to everyone so no one gets an advantage over anyone else because the youth team aspect would be an equal opportunity for everyone. If you do or don't do it, its your choice.

If this were a thing, id take it up and honestly id keep my utopia team too. Its pretty bad but I love it

The obstacle of not letting players to transfer between main and Utopian teams can be easily overcome simply by 2 teams training players for each other, and though the claim that forbidding the direct transfer will dismiss the advantage for those who for Utopian team is not exactly the right one. Either there should be a totally different players base for main & Utopian leagues or (more reasonable) just let those transfers go (starting from 0$ to beat the market and not receive any selling price, as suggested)

As of now, you are not supposed to gain an advantage by paying for Supporter or Utopia though.

I think its worth repeating what Perpete said. Especially as it didn't seem to sink in the first two times.

If anyone can't see the massive advantage a team would have where they are operating a second team with the sole objective of improving the first, then no amount of discussion is going to show it.

Even if I only point out that you could train 6 players for one team, while others can only train 3 then that should be enough to show that this whole idea is a non starter.

The problem with the Utopian teams are that they are a paid for future. Transfer of players from those teams would be to akin to pay-to-win which this game is trying to avoid. The youth academy teams, a second team in nature, would be under a different premise in that it would be an option for All players, supporters or not. That would make it an equal opportunity system whereas the Utopia teams are purely supporter only.

You might have been talking to someone else or addressing everyone in general but this is what I was getting at.
