Typically, I promote them when they are 19, if they have enough potential since they get moved at 20 automatically anyway. However, I have some high-potential players that were 16, 17 but seemed to decline at 18 and 19. I'm wondering if I need to promote them sooner? I don't think I'd want to move 16-year-olds to Low A and maybe not 17-year-olds either, but if an 18-year-old has potential it might be beneficial to move him.
Many high potential players decline at 18 and 19, but it's not due to them being international.

If you care for a longer read, I did address your question in a guide that I wrote https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=305472. By no means take it as the gospel, they are just my opinions. Plenty of people have agreed, plenty disagree.
