From what I can see they are still leaning towards World Rep as a deciding factor, I've seen some youth players breaking into the first team at 18/19, but they were also 130/140's in CA as well. That was before the patch, the database I am working off of is pretty big, But we've also know for awhile now the computer doesn't develop young players as well as a human does, so in order to break into the first team national setup they would have to be extraordinary, which is rare.
This keeper has 2 years in the game, his CA/PA is 149/187, he was the starter this year for Athletico, he's the "best young" player in the game in that his 149 PA is higher than any other 17 y/o and below,
And these are the three keepers ahead of him on the national team.
Cos has 1 U21 Cap, which makes no sense to me because the U21 keepers aren't that good:
The best 18 year old is on senior squad, as a sub, but the starter is better than him, the worlds best 19 year old is starting for his country, same with the worlds best 20 year old. But all those players started with a high CA.
