An HoYD brings young players into your club and has a direct impact on their quality. Further, some or all of his personality may get passed on to these players, although young players can always be tutored to improve it. The HoYD is also a coach for your Youth team. As such, decent coaching attributes will be useful, as will a good rating for Working with Youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcufrog Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I had a very average HOYD with a fairly determined personality before bringing in a stud HOYD with a perfectionist personality thinking this would improve my youth intake's personalities. Sadly I'm seeing the same awful personalities of unambitious, tempermental, balanced, etc... I hired this new HOYD a year ago, but could it take longer for him to affect my youth intake?

No it won't take longer. However, there are no guarantees and only part of the newgen personality may be affected. So just because your HoYD might be a Model Professional for example, that doesn't mean loads of newgens will be Model Pros. You may get one/two/a few, you may get just some aspects of their personality changed. You may get nothing happening at all - you're only improving your chances of something happening not guaranteeing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as I’m always trying to get young players to have the best personalities at the youngest age possible. Would love to understand if there’s anything else I can do. Thanks!

Hovis Dexter Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I look for personality, WWY and coaching attributes as I think the HoYD is an important member of the coaching team.

I manage 1860 Munich and have them in the first division now so have plenty of coaches. therefore, for me, i'd rather have a greater impact on regen personalities than one more coach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBoyd33641 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Is it better to have a HoYD from the same country, or one with knowledge of your country? Or is it not a big deal? I’m managing Tottenham and found a German HoYD I like, but he has nothing knowledge wise for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovis Dexter Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Tcufrog: No, I value WWY as a stand alone for HoYD not only because of its value in coaching. I think that it’s self evident that he is must be good with youngsters. As to the coaching aspect, It seems to be easier to find a HoYD who is a, say, 4* coach than it to find 4* youth coaches. Therefore I think he can significantly improve the quality of the youth training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanMilly Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I've found this guide useful - it covers each part of the role the HoYD does, and which of his attributes or qualities influence each role: https://fminside.net/head-of-youth-development/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouthGrowth Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 1. Does the preferred formation affect the youth players that come through each year, and does it mean some kinds of players never come through? 2. Does the preferred playing style also affect anything?

So you may get less wingers if his preferred formation is a narrow diamond for example. 2. Yes. A HoYD's style can influence newgen attributes. For example, a more technical HoYD may help produce more technically minded newgens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 For what it's worth, I prefer a good personality and media handling over actual stats. Both those aspects are the only way (without editors and such) to know the hidden stats of a player/staff. Things like personality, determination and ambition, the three most important things for talents to have. At least it affects their improvement and how close to their potential they are likely to get. A long while ago I bookmarked a thread to remember how personality and media handling works. While I've noticed some small changes, it doesn't seem to be too far off even now. Warning: It may contain certain spoilers for those hidden stats, or at least ways to calculate them. Concentrating on the personality I now have a HoYD with a "Professional" personality, "Unflappable" media handling and determination of 17. My youth intakes are regularly giving me good personalities with a lot of Resolute, Driven and Fairly Professional (oddly I haven't gotten a single "Professional" yet...) and even a Model Citizen!

RBKalle Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 All of that may not be "for show" in a strict sense, but the quality of the youth intake is MORE dependent on: 1) Nation's Youth Rating (fixed) 1b) Importance/Development (ie. how important football is in the country, and its development status) 2) Your Club's Youth Recruitment (and Junior Coaching) Only THEN, whoever is in charge of bringing new youth players into the club is finally involved. Meaning that if you're managing in a nation where football is Unimportant and Underdeveloped, with a Youth Rating of 60, you're bound to get a plethora of stinkers, even though you've won 10 Champions Leagues (with all-foreign squads) and you've hired the best HoYD. Actually, you can have other staff in charge for that position (DoF?), so I wouldn't get too hung up on what the best profile for the HoYD is...

Minotti Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ive done this for barca, man utd and juventus.

As you can see from my previous posts, improving the quality of your HoYD can improve the chances of getting better quality newgens, but there are no guarantees. Likewise this also applies to the rest of your Youth set up - better facilities and so on can improve the chances of getting better newgens, but not guarantee it. It's perfectly possible that with the best Youth set up you'll sometimes receive only mediocre newgens - but the chance of you getting better newgens is more than if you have a poorer quality set up (other factors such as the country you are managing in not withstanding). That may not be the concrete evidence which you are after, but that's how the game is designed. If your experience is consistently different and you have examples from multiple saves and multiple youth intakes where you believe none of this happened, please do upload your saves and open a new thread in the bugs forum. Detail of how to upload your saves can also be found there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to his attributes. The logic is the same as for the HOYD. Be wary of their preferred formation, personality, coaching attributes, and working with youngsters. If he is good in these fields, that will increase the chances of a strong youth intake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the thread OP - come over at FootballManagerNow and read Ben's FM stories, this guy is just brilliant. I learned an amazing great deal from him when it comes to youth development and also you get to see many examples of his ideas across, because his game-longitivity is about 40-50 seasons usually.

Some of it is just based on the nation. There's defined ranges for adaptability, professionalism, etc. that you can see if you use the in game editor while viewing a nation. It also shows the general youth rating of the country. Of course these are just averages. A place may be "poor" for adaptability, but that doesn't stop your intake from having adaptable players.
