youth promoted on day 56/1?
Guys, if I promote a youth today (day 56) but he replies with the evening update which marks day 1 of new season, will he count as 4th promoted last season (this high risk of rejection) or the first promoted new season (high chance he'll accept)?

There's no hard evidence that the chance of rejection increases with each youth you promote. How long has he been in your academy? That's a far more important factor.

Did you try to promote this player? Or did you wait one day?

I agree that length of time in the academy seems more important.

I also think that since the youth updates some time ago, it's easier to promote youths now.

Before the updates, I felt trying to promote too many too quickly resulted in more rejections, but it was never clear if that reset each season or whether it was just about how long since the last promotions.

But due to late developing youths I successfully promoted 3 in 6 days and another one 6 days later in the season just finished. Kane also said he promoted 7 this season! So, imo, numbers seem to have less impact now.

I waited, he's too valuable to lose him. Will see today if he joins.

I was under the impression that number of promotions matters cause I've never had first youth to promote reject even if he was in the academy for a season or so. Had multiple ones that rejected as a third one even though they'd been at the academy for 3 seasons.
But maybe it was just my luck...

I'd say wait as long as you can to maximise the chances of the youth accepting the offer.

Well today as threw me. 96 rated youth, been in the academy for just over 5 months rejects on day one. Never had youth reject on the the start of the season. I need to pay more attention lol

So then, given what FS and roland are saying - I have two players who are both due to turn 18 on more or less the same day (about 10 days hence). One is 97/97/97 and the other is 97/91/91, so more or less maxed out.

Either I let them both mature together, possibly on the same day, or promote the 97/97/97 one a bit early in the hope of spacing them out a bit. Thoughts?
