    Youth Intake Guide: What I learned over the years (+ Bonus Trick/Tip)

    Posted: 14 Feb 2022 10:06 PM PST

    One of the most exciting things in FM is the youth intake day. If seeing 5 star 15 year olds coming through your youth ranks doesn't make your pphard heart beat faster, then there is something clinically wrong with you. Accept it, we've all have wet dreams of the HOYD pulling us closer, slowing leaning in and whispering "he could possibly emerge as one of the best players of his generation."

    But the question is, how does youth intake actually work? What factors go into producing the next FM15 Eder Alvares Balanta?

    Fair warning: I am purely writing this article based on what I've learned after wasting precious years of my life which I will never get back playing FM over the years. It's purely based on practical implications rather than dissecting the game codes to see how it functions. Things here may/may not coincide with anything else you'll read on the internet. Additional methods used to gain knowledge: Save scumming and In-game editor.

    Firstly, there are two sets of parameters that affect the youth intakes, those that are controllable/visible and those that are uncontrollable/hidden.

    Controllable/Visible:

    Youth Facilities: This is the facility your pre-regens train at before they come through in the youth intake. This determines the quality of training they get, thus determining their CA. Better youth facilities = better CA on your regens. Now give it a thought, lets say you get a regen with 180 PA, but if his CA is just 70 then the chances of him reaching his true potential become slim. So youth facilities are important.

    Junior Coaching: This is the other side of Youth Facilities. Junior coaching is the quality of coaching your regens get before they enter your youth intake. Think of it as an u16 or grass-root lever coaching. Just as you have First Team and Youth coaches, Junior Coaching applies to the pre-regens. Better Junior Coaching results in better CA of your regens.

    Youth Recruitment: Remember that shady man with a black long coat and hat lurking around your local park, watching you play football? Well that's basically Youth Recruitment. Its the expanse of the scouting network which spots local talents. Think of it as this way, the more expansive the youth recruitment, the more parks/grounds they will cover while spotting youth prospects. Better Youth Recruitment = more expansive youth scouting network = better chances at spotting the next Carlos Fierro.

    Make no mistake, a poor youth recruitment does not mean you will never spot good talents, rather it will reduce the odds of spotting good talents, making it more difficult. In technical terms this directly affects the PA of your regens.

    Head of Youth Development: This is the guy that sits on fat cash and shows up at work only once a year. The HOYD is the one who picks the prospects from your pre-regens to bring into your youth intake. This is the door through with the youth intakes slide in. Technically speaking, the attributes required to make a good HOYD are:

    Judging Current Ability & Judging Potential Ability: This helps your HOYD spot the next big thing from your pre-regens.

    Working With Youngsters: How much positive influence your HOYD has on the pre-regens.

    But these attributes are only the tip of the iceberg. The HOYD also influences the playing style and personality(hidden attributes) of your regens. Always pay attention to the:

    Tactical Style, Playing Style and Preferred Formation: This influences the style and positions of your regens. If your HOYD's tactical style is Route One and Cautious, then he is more likely to produce regens suitable for that style, i.e defensive minded players. This is not pertaining to positions, simply the player's style, e.g. even if you get a CM he's more likely to be defensive/old school rather than creative/technical.

    The HOYD's preferred formation directly affects the positions of your regens. A HOYD preferring 4-4-2 will bring in regens that fit in that formation, meaning you wont get natural wingers, AMs and DMs.

    So make sure your HOYD is on the same page as you in these regards.

    Personality: The HOYD can have an influence of the personality of some of the youth intakes, NOT ALL. When you get the youth intake report, your HOYD will specifically mention that he had an influence on XYZ regen. So be on the safer side and prefer HOYDs with a positive personality and good determination attribute.

    My personal priority is always the tactical style/preferred formation over a better personality.

    Side note: some say that the reputation of the HOYD has an effect on the regens, but I haven't noticed a difference in this regards.

    Lesser Known/Bonus Trick/Tip:

    In Staff Responsibilities > Advice & Reports > Provides Youth Development Reports. Here you can actually change the staff member responsible for bringing in the youth intake. You can allot this responsibility to your Director of Football, Technical Director, u18/19 Manager or AssMan if you think they are better equipped than your HOYD. This way you can simply use your HOYD for coaching your u18 team.

    Now the other set of parameters.

    Uncontrollable/Hidden:

    Every nation in the game has a Youth Rating. This determines the quality of regens that nation produces. So even if your club has excellent facilities and a good HOYD, if the nation your club is based in has poor Youth Rating then the chances of you producing quality regens is greatly hampered. If you like spoilers you can search for the nation's Youth Ratings online before choosing to manage in that nation. (I am completely unsure of Dynamic Youth Rating so not mentioning it here.)

    EDIT:

    Got reminded of this one thanks to a reply below. Your club can enter into a specific affiliation with a foreign club where the foreign club sends youth players to train with your club and you get a chance of having a regen from that foreign nation in your youth intake. Make sure to check the foreign clubs youth setup before entering into an affiliation. I've found it easy to enter into affiliation with Argentinian clubs with good youth setups.

    Additional Tip:

    NEVER judge a regen based on the star rating system. I've experimented with this multiple times through save scumming and in-game editor. Sometimes a regen may only show 4 or 4.5 stars when he comes through the youth intakes but may actually be a wonderkid or vice versa. Instead pay attention to your HOYD saying that "he may emerge as one of the best players of his generation". This is a sure shot way of telling that your regen has 160+ PA.

    But your HOYD will only mention one regen as the best player of his generation, when in reality you could be having two wonderkids (the stuff of your wet dreams). So always sign all the regens with 2.5 or more stars on PA.

    This was my attempt at sharing whatever I learned over the years. Hope this helps someone. Apologies if I missed something. Feel free to post any feedback or your own experiences. Cheers.

    Whom would you hire as HOYD ? (Managing Spezia Calcio) PS :Considering Personality,Determination,Scouting Range & other releavant attributes

    Posted: 14 Feb 2022 08:55 PM PST

    I am not sure if he has thought this all the way through...

    Posted: 15 Feb 2022 12:17 AM PST

    First time seeing him on the game , seems pretty good

    How do you increase the quality of your youth intakes?

    How do we unlock the Golden Generation/Manager's Son Regen?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2022 12:28 AM PST

    Google is being very unhelpful in finding out. I'm sure they used to be available from the main menu for a small price, but now there are no options there other than the in-game editor

    Absolutely insane Copa Sudamericana final. 91st minute equaliser, 10 yellows, 1 red. Down to 9 men in extra time, won 11-10 on penalties.

    I think the opponent was parking the bus a little

    Anyone else ever save scummed other teams games?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2022 12:38 AM PST

    I don't save-scum, although I have in the past, but occasionally if a team I like is doing poorly or loses a final or something I may save scum their game just for the sake of it, was just wondering if anyone else did something similar.
