In Italy only seldom we save players. With 4k managers we have 12k draftees every season, and about 1200 are added to db. Of course not all have good skills nor are well trained, but sacrificing TS is a nonsense typically. We did it only a couple of times when FA were stopped and we had to save 20y old players highly skilled. With FA, we should only save 18y but you can easily see it does not make much sense. n the other side, tracking timely all these players is heavy, our db includes about 4k U21 players ^^
Anyway, as mentioned that was not "Italy" but not a bad team indeed
