i think you right on that

my point was that percentage wise its quite low how many players from FA youth cup winning teams go on to play first team football at a high level , they do go on to play first team level but at a lower level

i think the expected number is approx 2

the Manchester Utd FA Youth cup team of 92 were an exception
