Raúl Alfonso Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Just wondering what decides the quality of our annual youth intakes, because I'm getting tired of snatching talented youths from foreign teams each year - wants to have my own homegrown youth talents.

Lung Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Factors: -The quality of your youth facilities -I think talent is also based on what nation your club is in(Brazilians are more likely to be better than Canadians or something like that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It is largely down to luck. In one save I've had an entire intake with great potential (according to the assistant), but on the rest put together, just the one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Girondins Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Interesting: I always thought it was relative to your club reputation. So that teams produced players equal to their division with the ocassional wild card random regen. The facilities don't effect much in my experience. Maybe development ..

KLH84 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 In 13 seasons, I haven't had one player come through my youth that has even remotely interested me. My youth facilities were terrible but still... Shame really as I would have loved to have had a few players to...I don't want so say groom...erm...take with me through the leagues. That's better.

Les Girondins Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 And yet at Leicester city in the 9.1 patch I made a point of investing in youth facilities and getting good youth coaches and had 3 premiership quality players come through in 4 years. One of which became a Serbian international at 20 .. So who knows. It definately seemed that youth intake was mean average up on quality over previous versions. So that if you weren't ambitious you could comfortably progress 5-6 academy players into the 1st team (at Championship level anyway) every couple of years. I think this was mainly down to the new regen system though as they were all markedly better than 'youth' players trained up in previous versions.

KLH84 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've seen some people with some quality youth coming through, it seems I was just quite unlucky. Always next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted December 20, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted December 20, 2008 Club reputation, youth facilities, a possible academy and naturally luck all affect the quality of the youth intake of a club. On average, higher rep clubs naturally get better youth come in and vice versa but if you take a couple of similar clubs and compare their youth intake, then luck will play a bigger part.

TigerTime Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 When i managed Crawley they had a couple of good regens! When i played a game with Crawley on FM08 i found an 17 year old centre back called Jamie Stevens who was rated by my assisstant manager as already one of the best centre backs in the league and has the potential to be a good Championship player in the future!

Bondonzilenozolo Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 So, an assistant manager with high 'judging potential' no longer plays any part as the assistant manager doesn't pick out the youth players coming through the ranks? I just remember this from FM 2005, where judging potential and working with youngsters (and I think determination played a part as well) were my main priorities for an assistant manager.
