Finding New Wonderkids?

Im really having problems finding potential good/wonderkid youth regens. I am in my first season with Tottenham, almost done with the EPL season. I had some give me a few tips on here for finding good youth players, but I still cant find any about 2 1/2 to 3 star potential. I have 9 scouts. Any more help is appreciated??

Sometimes there just aren't any great regens. I've really struggled to find any in three seasons.

I often scout higher reputation nations and set the scout to not look for anybody over 18.

I never have any trouble finding them. Keep looking! Also, the first season in is a tad early.

Don't know if I'm just lucky, but I'm finding some decent players at my feeder club, not to mention one wonderkid who has been lethal for me this season.

Surely there wouldn't be any regens if you're in the first season.

Regen date in England, for example, is 25th June.

Im in season 2017/2018 and ive currently got 3 wonderkids in my team. One lethal striker who is only 20 and finished last season on 40 league goals. Things will only get better.

Ive had these since they were 16/17 though and they werent wonderkids when I bought them.

My scouts found all of them, I bought them, realised their potential. Give them time in the team, even if its 20 mins at the end of a match. They have now all turned into wonderkids. I have the new batch in too, so hoping one or two of them will turn into wonderkids.

Rocha and Malinowski are actually keeping Bale outta the team.

first season is too early to find lots of regens

Just make sure you send your scouts out to roam all the different regions, particularly in Europe, and eventually they will unearth a few gems. Just need a little patience.

Or take matters into your own hands and look at every club's youth / reserve teams. This may take a while.

What i often find useful is to look at international teams and see if they have any young players in their first team, or U21s.

Found a great 17 year old in South Africas First team

Also as the game progresses i always look at Castilla, which is Real Madrids reserve team. Bought a kid from them for 1 million, he is now my best player worth 24million, and regularly scores 20+ goals a season.

Is there a list on when new regens are brought into the game? I know in England it is usually around June 25th. What about other countries?

It's pretty much any nations regen dates that you'd need, + a load you probably won't need. They're right, you won't see many regen dates. Someone may be able to confirm or correct me but I'm pretty sure if you start at a club in England, no regens will be added into the game until your second season regardless of nation and their time of year.

The way I look for new talent is by the regen list, and this is how...

1. Say for instance Brazil's regen date is Jan 2nd. On that date (or any day after to make sure you pass the time of day for it), type Brazil into the search bar.

2. In the Nation information screen there's a major club list at the bottom left. Click the bit that says 'View all clubs'.

3. Look at the first club on the list (for non-selected leagues the regens will be in the first team, except Germany for some reason), sort by age, ctrl+leftclick all the players that have YTH next their name (or any fairly young), then select a scout to give you a report card (should give enough of a ball park star rating).

4. Repeat this for all clubs.

If that league isn't selected then there shouldn't be too many players to scout at all and you'll pick up some great talent. The best players I've found tend to come from Holland, Argentina, and Brazil. But I've found some randomly from the likes of China, and even South Africa.

I do the same thing for my selected leagues' U20s U18s etc, except only for players who are £100-£200k+ as this is an indication of how highly thought of they are.

The next season it could become harder to highlight regens & the ones already scouted, so simply edit current view to included your main scout report in the squad list, that way you'll know who you've looked at before.

Hope that's helped!
