Don’t ask that @monk or it’ll be clear that a few others were younger and that it all averages out over time... I’ve more sympathy when it’s a supertalent as pulling an older one with the minimum supertalent bonus is more problematic.

@ipfreeley

In theory the age range should be 15/0 to 15/51, so how come one was aged 16y 0w?

How long was he in the youth academy before being promoted?

@ipfreely Lol I have a YC 10 that gives younger players.

Statistically data needs at least 30 samples before things even themselves out. It can be frustrating, especially with a new level youth centre. I feel your frustration ipfreely. Just imagine how good your next ones will be to correct the balance!

@Monk yes some of the previous youths were younger, but not YA2 of course. With the uphill battle to keep up with the older teams as it is, you need all the help you can get!

@Numpty I think your theory is wrong. There were 14y 42w youths in YC10 before the office was introduced, and some 16y 0w youths (with 15y minimum age set) too I think.

Maybe I worded that badly.

It's not my "theory" but rather that Vincent has previously explained Age 15 as meaning 15/0 to 15/51.

Is there another factor or some kind of random element that can cause the players to fall outside the selected range?

maybe the age factor is set to 16 instead of 15.

@Numpty

The confusing thing is that when Vincent meant 15y0 to 15y51, he did not mean their age at the moment you find them in your youthcentre, but their age at the moment they are being created. Which is shortly after the previous one appeared in your youthcentre. So in order to get the exact age in the 15y0 5o 15y51 interval, you should correct for the number of days that have passed since the last arrival.

@ Koen

Although that seems plausible your theory doesn't fit my data.

Just one example, I have a player who arrived in my YC (L8) at age 16/1 on Saturday May 25. To make calculations easy I had no YC staff at the time. So at best he could have been created at (a minimum) age of 16/0  on May 24th.

Guy Lowen: https://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/info/player-1957807

However, the previous player had arrived on Tuesday May 14.  

(The arrival window was between May 18 - 20:55 and May 29 - 06:31) 

I do think it's likely that the players are actualy created at the start of the window (which is why "Your next player may not be affected by the changed settings"), but as far as I can tell this doesn't seem to affect their age.
