Argentina, Croatia and Brazil - that's where I buy cheap wonderkids. Germany also produces terrific players through the youth system.

Mostly since FM15

For the last 10 years, it has been Portugal.

All depends on database size.

If you're loading all players from the nation, you can make a fortune signing talented young Spanish players (from the 4th tier or U19 clubs) and flogging them after a season or two. Keep one or two of 'em if you want

I'd say countries like Norway, Serbia and Croatia have produced some really talented players

In my PAOK career, I pull lots of of good talent out of Croatia and Serbia. And dropped a couple good scouts into Portugal. The big three clubs have lots of youth who want playing time but have no route to it, meaning you can pick up good players for affordable salaries. I have also had luck in Italy looking for rejects from their big clubs who don't make the cut.

Argentina and Brazil clearly the easiest but for realism I try to avoid it. I just don't think elite 18 year olds would bypass mega club scouts for an upstart continental Greek side.

If you're not looking for Champions League ready talent, you can scout US/Canada and find a good amount of talented regens in academy/reserve leagues for free transfers. Not cheap on wages but good talents.

Cote D'ivoire i find has really good cheap players who usually need a bit of developing but have a lot of potential. Georgia is  a less obvious one which seems to produce a few really good players.

Iran is very underrated, they produce good young players that are cheap

I set myself as  from French Guiana once .  Was doing a long save with Atletico.  Had a Defender and a Winger of absolute world class ability.  Imagine all the great defenders and liberos of the past all rolled into one.  He was a beast who also scored 20+ goals a season.
