Yes, that's what I meant by the last bit. Given that there are plenty of tools that can pull data out of fm, you'd just have to pull out coach ca pa, player ca pa, reputation, maybe time before first job and maybe coaching badge. Control for the last 3, look for correlation in the first four.

Despite having played far too much FM over the last 10 years, I can't think of a time where one of my former players has become a really good coach. I've read suggestions that the coaching ca and pa of retired players is totally random, but I somewhat doubt that. While there is undoubtedly a cognitative bias involved as I am less likely to remember an unknown serie c player who goes on to become a top manager in game compared to a former world class player, I am almost certain that the latter are considerably more likely to become top coaches, simply because it would be extremely rare to see a top player as a head coach given that they make up a very small proportion of the database. I am pretty sure that reputation does carry over, which would cause former top players to be overrepresented, but I'm wondering if there is anything else. Any thoughts or experiences regarding this would be appreciated. If someone from the dev team wants to and is allowed to chip in that would be great as well :). I'm assuming it wouldn't actually be that hard to run an experiment for someone with better coding skills and more time than myself, so if anyone has done that their input would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much! I shall look at your file and work backwards

I'd like to create a system similar to the Spanish system, with groups(in my case geographical) containing youth teams from clubs as well as youth only teams. I've created the youth clubs and put them into child competitions with u21 division type and a parent division, but my attempt to activate it as a reserve competition in advanced rules has been unsuccessful. I have tried to reverse engineer from Spanish league rules but they use a "custom XML". Relatively experienced but somewhat dusty editor user. Thanks all for any help.

I'm currently holidaying in fm24 to see how it works now with the much more sophisticated nationality system, but in fm22 lots of players were reluctant to renounce their original nationality and take up Chinese citizenship. It seems somewhat stupid as irl footballers seem to be happy to do that, e.g jordi amat giving up developed EU country Spanish citizenship and taking up indonesian citizenship, allowing him to play for that national team and johor dt as a asian/sea player

Just got fm24 and was wondering if anyone knew how to implement the Ukrainian/Russian systems for gaining nationality used in FM. I am aware that I could in theory repurpose one of those countries but I'd rather have a quicker and more elegant solution. Specially, I would like players who would be eligible for the national team to take up citizenship and for those who are already capped to not do so. Failing that, is there some way to set a league's foreign player rules to set only those who are eligible for the national team to be treated as domestic players, e.g Roman Eremenko being treated as a foreign player in Russia despite being a citizen due to playing for Finland.
