Football Manager 2010 Kids

I have a question about players from the youth team (under 18s). right im notts county and i am premierleague champions for second year in a row and i am not getting very good youth. i have upgraded my facilites to good and will keep doing so. do they have to be state of the art for more chance of getting a world class... players or is it down to luck. i see everton keep getting world class talents from youth. even bloody crewe sold a kid for 150k is now the best striker in game ever.

I think it is down to luck.

not 1 good player from kids in 10 seasons!!

Buy them !!!!!!

I bought Some But Not Forking Out Millions For Them When They Could Turn Out To Be Poopoo

I guess it could be down to a few factors.

1. Luck

2. Youth Facilities

3. Quality of Youth Coaches

4. Quality of Competition

I also find it hard to come across decent youngsters and I find I get rid of more than I keep. But I am only in CCL2 and i dont have great coaches so that could be the reason why they dont develop well.

I think luck is a major factor, but also reputation comes into it I think.

i have world class coaches staff good facilities and im premierleague and champs league winners are my notts county boys and not a single decent player come through the ranks!!

it's about luck but also remember that regens attributes are screwed up so many players with high PA will evolve into complete *******...i made 5 seasons and quit FM2010, no point in playing it when there is only 3-4 players each season on the whole database that can make into a top team...

in my man utd save, i am only in my 3rd season, but both youth intakes have produced 1 good/great prospect, so i think its a case of the better the facilities/coaches/reputation and things like that that make the chances increase

I'm in Brazil and about to start a new season in 2024.

With time, i've taken my team up from the lowest league to the highest league. I've had a few newgens coming to my youth team, who have been decent/good.

Funny part is that i've upgraded the youth/training facilities a couple of times over those years, and i seem to get worse newgens after i've upgraded the facilities than when i hadn't.

But i suspect that could be the newgen attributes being a bit off, as mentioned and discussed in another thread.

I certainly hope it is.

Or could it be that as you progressed up through the leagues the regens abilities stay at a similar level. Which would make them appear worse or inferior to previous regens as they no longer could cut it in a higher league?

That thought did cross my mind as well.

8-10 seasons ago i had newgens that came to my youth team and are still in the youth team.

An hour ago i got a new bunch of youth players. The youth facilities were upgraded again just last season, and now i basically get youngsters with attributes of 1s, 2s and 3s. With the occasional high attributes at certain places.

Early on i got a lot more youngsters with a bunch of 9s-13s which all were promising...especially at that stage. Some of them are still at the club playing, although most of them have been sold.

Not a chance that will happen with this seasons youngsters. Unless there's some serious, fast improvement.

So back to you question. I was hoping it was me, but it doesn't seem like it. Hope i'm still wrong though

I've found that "Top Facilities" or "State of the Art" will usually create 3-5 players with a PA of -8 or higher each year. It's down to luck. There's VERY few players that turn into superstars, because even with a PA of -8 their max PA is only like 160.

If you like spending money, dont look to the youth system. The youth system is meant to provide adequate decent players in which 1-2 will give you a decent first team player each season. This way, you'll only have to bring in superstars.

Crewe and Everton have a tradition of producing good young players. So maybe this is a factor?
