Norfair Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Cause I never do. All the good ones are from the usual suspects. Liverpool & Utd get all the good newgens. Bayern and Dortmund in Germany, PSG mostly in France, in Spain it's a little more varied, Ajax and PSV only in Holland. Almost exclusively FCP in Portugal. Very few good Italians overall. Almost never a good scandinavian, and I've read threads on Reddit that seem to suggest Scandinavia should be good. Not in my save. Scandinavia is ass apart from the odd danish semi-star. Sweden is crap, even Norway is better. Where are the world beaters from weird central American nations? I saw a few in FM16 but now it all just seems to be streamlined.

Grifty Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm picking up loads of really good Serbian players. Got Red Star and Partizan on constant scout. Man City picked up a goalie with the best stats I've ever seen. I'll add a screenshot next time I'm on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only scout nations, regions, competitions etc, but not teams. Edit: Nvm, I've had my chief scout making the calls all this time.

jbutton Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) FM15 Best player of all time came from Turkey, smashed Messi' 73 goal season by scoring 97, including 30+ in the CL that season. Edited February 15, 2020 by jbutton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baodan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Short answer: Yes. On top of that I'd also like to add that while PSG does get good youth players now and then they are not the most prolific in France in FM. Italy is usually the biggest provider of wonderkids in my games, while South America naturally does well also. The best keeper in my game is from Denmark.

karanhsingh Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Argentina is a gold-mine. Seems like youngsters there start off with a higher CA than their Brazilian counterparts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe two players all things equal (Exception of Liverpool versus Carlton) will have different values due to reputation and wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Not my player, but this guy from the Solomon Islands looks pretty good. Out on loan from Man City to Dundalk (who are a CL group stage regular at this point). I think that is the best player from such a small footballing nation I've ever seen. Not that minnow as a national, but there is also this guy from Lithuania playing for Juventus. There's also this guy from Angola playing for Chelsea. Is Congo small enough (Not DR Congo)? This guy is playing for Bayern. DR Congo have their own though, in this guy from Tottenham. This guy from Hong Kong (and Burnley) is not bad. Those are the one from smaller nations that I could find now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza79 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have a save going that is 20 seasons now. My observations I have noticed that on mine Schalke get tons of world beating newgens, more than Dortmund and Bayern. Monaco, Lille and Nantes also seem to produce many top players from france. Serbia, Czech and Poland always have some great players coming through for awesome value so always worth keeping scouts busy in those countries.

I scout remaining by regions and youth international squads adding released newgens from youth intakes to shortlist, and in shortlist menu evaluating the ones you like (or offering them trials).
