@harvestgreen22 I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if you have data for the growth of U23 matches (30 matches) for players that are 18-22 and whether it follows a similar decline as friendlies or stays at 100% growth relative to 30+ "official matches"? I ask because I am unsure if U21/U23 league & cup competitions are considered as "official" leagues/matches or just friendlies. It would be also interesting to know how the reputation of the youth league/cup competitions affects growth.
This makes me wonder if it is theoretically possible to have a 'perfect'/ 'optimal' player in terms of their attribute values that maximise their output depending on position (goals and assists for forwards or defensive stats for defenders). Of course, 20 in every attribute would be the 'perfect' player but this is way above the CA/PA cap and as these tests suggest, 20 in passing may not actually be the optimal value.
I would love to see how N5 compares to L5 with 30 matches, it could be another good option maybe?
Also, with goalkeepers, perhaps changing the additional focus from quickness to somwthing like gk reactions would be better for gk growth as I believe physicals are not quite as important for this position, this could be an incorrect assumption though.
