Youth Academy training analysis
Above is a before and after shot of the youth academy training phase. The price was set at $500 per day for 5 players for 5 days. total cost of $12,500 investment.
Over the 5 days, 3 of my players gained +3 in stats, 2 of my players gained +1 in stats. None of my players gained any stats in a position they were currently highest in, with the main increases in stats they were lower in already. Only 1 of my players increased their technical skill. Overall I gained 11 stats points, 4 of these in leadership or agression which are currently unused stats, reducing it to 7 stat points. However the only stat point I consider effective was the +1 technique gained on Ladarius16.
This makes that single effective stat point worth $12,500. Also note the hiring wage almost doubled in this time, however this could be due to the bug with the real hiring wage not shown before and fixed afterwards. I conclude that at $12,500 for a single stat point, using the YA training is very ineffective at increasing your players stats.
