Is it possible to emphasise physical attributes during youth player recruitment?

I'd be interested to know. I've always assumed that if your HOYD had high coaching stats for fitness you would get physical players or if he had high technical coaching stats you would get more technical players. I've got no evidence to back that up though!

Yes, as far as I know, your HoYD's fitness skill does influence youth physicals on intake day. This is also further enhanced by their discipline, motivation, and people management skills, which would hopefully be at 10 or higher for best results. I believe this was discussed briefly by one of the developers on the FM podcast.

Good to know thanks. My HoYD has 14 for fitness, so I'm ok
