Massive Noob Question

Hey, I'm new to the FM series having previously played CM up until 2008 but I took a whim on FM2010 and I love it, although I'm not very good at it

Just one question to help me on my way, and I apologise if this is a stupidly obvious/noobish question, but how do you find regens? Particulalry, good ones. I struggle in the whole transfer aspect of the game especially when it comes to finding youth prosepcts.

If anyone could help me in-depth or point me in the way of a thread where this has already been addressed (if there is such a thread I apologise) then I would be very grateful.

Also I look forward to (hopefully) becoming a part of the Football Manager community over here.

Send scouts out to different countries and tehy will find you players which could be useful.

See, now I send scouts out but they don't find the calibre of players that I've seen in some of the regen threads on here. Is that just because they're not too common or am I setting my scouting up wrong?

I usually set my scouting up to look for players age between 15-18. Sometimes you may only find one or 2 good ones a year. It also depends on your scouts stats as well.

As Nottingham Forest said above send scouts out to different countries.

I always use my scouts and send them out to regions that I have loaded leagues from and/or well reknowned regions such as South America and Europe.

EDIT: I was so long typing this there has been another two posts made in the mean time.

Anyway I just send my scouts out in general and don't apply any filters. Another thing I do as well though is to have scouts scouting the u18's league in the major countries.

What should I send them out to scout for? Just general players under the age of 18? Sorry for the constant questions but, as the say, if you don't ask you won't learn.

if you want you can use FMRT or genie scout which is a program to search for players/regens. but it lose the fun of exploring players, your choice
