edit required to make small nations generate good/great prospects

[imagine]

i saw a way in old FM. Just wanted to know how to do this in FM 17.

i.e. All countries generate good or great prospects, e.g. Fiji might generate a world class player

first, it is already possible for weak countries to generate a really good player. in a save of mine, in the early 2030s there was a Micronesian player playing for beijing guoan in the csl. after checking his ca and pa with a scouting tool(i downloaded one just to do this). his ca was over 150 and pa was over 180. second, factors effecting player quality are: youth rating(anything above 100 is pretty good(serbia is 100 england 120 brazil 150<(cant remember)))  youth template(especially professionalism and ambition), quality of domestic league ,available playing time(if there is a minimum u23 player rule for example) and each clubs youth system(more good academies = more good players). finally, one way you can improve the youth is by making a academy league. to do this, create league and then a large number of clubs with good academies, limiting the clubs to u21 players(maximum age)and being amateur so that the better clubs can sign them.
