Challenge 11 - Burnley's Youngsters

[James]

You think you can lead one of the worst EPL teams to glory? In only 6 years? With some heavy transfer restrictions? If so, we have something for you. And it's not m0ri's unicorns.



You are in charge of Burnley for 6 years. In the first season you're only allowed to buy U-21 players...But there is more...In seasons 2-6 you can buy only one player a season and he has to be U-21 as well!

Rules

- a player has to be U-21 at the time of the signing. If he turns 22 a day after, you can keep him.
- use any tactic you wish within the usual restrictions- at least 3 players at the back and wing players somewhere
- after the finish of season 6, the challenge is over
- use February 2010 ODB Style Update

So the default squad with players over 21 can be used too, they shouldn't be sold and replaced with youngsters, correct?

[FrozyLucky]

Ah, I've found the answer on the old site already. My assumption is correct.

I've just started this - my first official challenge!

Quick couple of questions on bonus points:

Does the U21 player have to be 21 or under for the duration of the season to qualify for the average rating or just at the start?

Does the 20 games minimum include sub appearances or starts only?

Cheers. Enjoying it so far and we've actually won a couple of games

Has to be under 21 on the day you sign them.

20 games include subs so can be 0 starts and 20 sub appearances.
