Or the best youth systems like Chelsea- Musiala James Broja Livramento Gallagher Coliwell Mount Rice Tomori Solanke Loftus-Cheek Chalaboa Guehi Abrahams Oliseh Gilmour etc

I might try to see what happens if I make every one of these features the best and see if it works. I genuinely think it still wont work

I could do it with any team, I have basically cheated to see what happens and it makes no difference

Surely that it is realistic look at Chelsea and City as an example. Year on year top young players coming through the system. In real life if you had the best facilities, the best coaches, the best scouting, the best youth system every year you would get at least one gem and 5 or 6 top players, look at City and Chelsea if you don't believe me. Otherwise clubs would not spend the money on it.

More just proving a point, I have another save that I don't use the editor but it has shown that trying to develop a youth system is pointless

6 years in and...

My HoYD has a perfectionist personality, I chose this because they seem to be the best

My favourite way of playing FM is bringing through youth players and developing them into the first team over time but despite the fact I have got my youth facilities, youth recruitment, junior training all at 20, and my Youth development officer is the best in the game (I even used the editor to make him the best possible after my first few seasons of annoyance!) and yet every year I still get a poor to average intake of youth players. Meanwhile clubs with much worse set ups than me get players with PA of 170 and above every year. Makes me wonder why bother investing in youth if it makes no difference in the game.
