Does anyone if it is possible to make an attribute polygon for staff? I've been playing around a little bit with the attribute analyser but not getting anything to render. Wanted to know if there is some hard coded values underneath the hood that might make this impossible

If you repeatedly praise or criticise a player within a short window, they can become irritable and it will become counter productive. If you criticise player development at a certain age (about 29/30) the player might disagree and get in a huff also. I praise/criticise training regularly, and praise/criticise development every other month.

It seems fine to me if you are an underdog team, otherwise I'd be tempted to make it a little less conservative by changing the centre mid to support or WP to attack to give you an edge on the right hand side.

I very rarely see a difference in body language, but if it does generate a reaction I find it helps ensure the player reacts positively to whatever your saying. I always use it in training if criticising a players development.

Zealand tested this on his YouTube channel and they absolutely make a difference. Get as many in as possible with as high a rating as possible.

I don't know about where your kids would go, but training workload won't be an issue. The preset youth schedules are pretty similar in intensity to senior schedules.

The average of certain attributes does drop later into the game. From my own experience, a lot of newgen players seem to match a specific role and there are a lot less all-rounders like Tonali kicking about after 5 or 6 years:

It depends on what you mean by low quality. If it is the attribute distribution of the players then this is under the hood and not something we can change. If it is the CA/PA of young players, then yes it is much harder in this years FM for players to reach their PA as youth development has been nerfed significantly. The AI also are much less able to develop players as they tend to over rely on older players since the decline of attributes in older players has also been slowed down significantly. You can also try Davidincid's realism mod which balances this out somewhat.

In order for scouts to increase knowledge in a country they need to be able to attend matches. As Nigeria and Ivory Coast don't have active leagues in the game, the only matches the scouts can go to is the national teams and perhaps if a team is in a continental competition. Your scouts are basically attending an international game once a month which is why it only reaches 3%. TBH it's not worth scouting these countries individually currently in the game, it's better to find staff of that nationality and hire them then use player search to find youngsters, or scout the African cup of nations etc. This is a bugbear of mine as the game doesn't tell you this anywhere.
