A *professional* head of youth development wouldn't be out clubbing, they would be watching film of that left back in the Moldovan Under 17 friendly match for the 3rd time.

Man, my girlfriend just left me. She said I"m not normal. I agree. I just won Bundesliga with Dynamo Dresden. I"m not normal... I"m the Special One

i find that the Determination of the HOYD affects the determination of the youth that come through, so keep that high.

I'm on my 11th season as Coach of Bayern Munich right now, pretty early to the start I got a kid from Munich called Tomislav Madjaric, plays on both wings and had 5 Star Potential. I immediately signed him, he destroyed the entire U19 League. When he turned 18 I loaned him out to SSC Napoli where he made like 15 goals and 7 assists in 37 Games, at that point he had already four full stars. I decided to sell Antonio Marin, who was starting on the left wing so far but started to decline due to numerous injuries, started Tomi there the next season and he just continued to destroy everything. Meanwhile I'm in the Year 2031, played the last three CL Finals, won two of those, and Madjaric made last years CL Winning goal in our own home stadium. He's by far my favourite youth player I've ever got in FM.

Didn't know I needed this video. you're an amazing addition to the yt fm landscape. You made me realise how little I know of this game after 5 years of playing. Well done!

Love that you mentioned Weston-super-Mare, cheers from WsM

Love the intro! :-) You're a natural at this.

In my schalke 04 save, i got a promissing youngster in my youth intakes, his name was dominik hrubesch, he was the prodigy of german football, an offensive midfielder, he had everything that an amazing player needed He managed to give germany a world cup, and he won against my Portugal team that i was coaching as well in the finals He scored a last minute goal

I've been playing for 5 years and you just debunked half the things I believed about the intake lmaooo. Also shoutout to a fellow American on FM

Please FM improve Indonesia youth rating, so Zealand does not use our country as example again

Hahaha the intros of this videos are glorious!

very nice effort bro ... keep up the good work

This video was just the things I wondered, great tips 👍 nice video 🏆

Helpful tips as ever 👍🏾

cool scarf in the background. Love from Iceland

I love these videos! Your amazing!!!

My youth intakes always have been dogshit, FM11 to FM20, beer league to champions league, really one of the few consistent things in this game

As a Sheffield Wednesday fan I am so happy our former manager has found a cushy high profile job

Another top video Zealand!!!!!!!! Your 0ro aly working through a schedule for your videos so I'm maybe jumping the here but will you be doing a video on Finances managing finances like wage, transfer, scouting budgets and FFP. Income, expenditure projection etc.

Dude you're actually hilarious, deserved sub

Love the intros..been playing AoE recently as I kept starting and stopping fm saves lol...I need to beeeeeelieve and feeeeeel the team

Bryan Klug, best Head of Youth Development xD

I like how you talk so much that I just had to subscribe.... you're kinda funny Keep it up 😂❤️❤️

Hashtag "hashtag" lol Keep it up with such an amazing content, cheers from Russia!

Won the prem 2 years in a row, current European champs with Hull City, my youth intake has been awful for the last 4 years, way worse than when I started the save, despite upgrading everything in my control, hope I learn something useful from this vid.

Hey there , amazing video, keep it up ! Two things are new to me though which I cant find , so do you have a SI forum post or anything to back it up ? - Scouting knowledge of the country you are at from HOYD and HOYD / Player reputation being a factor at all.

Bass line in the intro song sounds so cool, dude

Brilliant as usual.

xD really good tips and funny videos !

Best intro you've made rofl

I got a 5* potential youth intake with 17 flair and my youth coach sold him for 2 million

Great video! Could you make a video about injuries and how to prevent?

Great vid!

Love the intro

I've heard the opposite when it comes to youth facilities from SI on the forums. I believe they have explicitly said that it does affect youth intake and isn't just the training facilities of your youth team. I could be wrong though, or it's been changed since an earlier FM.

goddamn that chest hair man lol!

In my first season at Dortmund the preview was raving about a good young goalkeeper from Afghanistan. When the day came he was fucking shite with shite potential and 18 years old... 18! Almost sacked my HoYD on the spot. Also the other German clubs had 14 year olds coming through, but my youngest was 15. Not seen a 14 year old in any other saves.

"I think putting 12 year olds in is illegal" " have to get parents permission" This is not the case for "pretend" 12 year olds.... all the new gens are fictional... They could do like a youth Sunday league scheme in the background... full of new gens.... but the processing would be stupid... like an extra 200,000 potential players.... Fm does what it can without breaking the game.

From the developers for those that want a readable overview: CA and PA of youth intake are both affected by all of the factors equally: Youth Recruitment The Club’s recruiting of Juniors, those of home and foreign origin. Youth Facilities The training facilities available for Juniors (only). Does NOT apply to visible players already at the club. All visible players currently at the club use Training Facilities regardless of age. Junior Coaching The quality and quantity of Junior Coaches at the Club. Nation Youth Rating The potential maximum quality and quantity of Juniors produced in that Nation. Game Importance How important football is considered to be in that Nation. Producing Newgens The Clubs with the best Youth Recruitment will generally pick up the best Junior talent from that Nation first, the scale of that talent being determined by the Nation Youth Rating and Game Importance. The lower the Youth Recruitment the further down the pecking order a club will find itself. Two clubs with identical Youth Recruitment will be sorted by Club Reputation. Being lower down this pecking order does not mean quality Newgens cannot be produced, it simply lowers the chances. Youth Facilities and Junior Coaching then simulate and determine how that Junior progresses in the Club’s Junior system until a Newgen is produced and appears in game. It is at this point that the Current Ability (CA) and Potential Ability (PA) of the newgens are decided. The above factors all contribute to both CA and PA equally. Head of Youth Development (HoYD) The club’s HoYD is responsible for bringing Newgens into the club. He will influence what “type” of players are selected and can partially or fully pass on his personality to some of these Newgens. The “type” of players selected refers to a player’s position and style, for instance a HoYD with a preferred 4-5-1 formation and a Technical Coaching Style may produce more technically styled midfielders than another HoYD. The HoYD will also influence the rare “freak” or exceptional Newgens that come through, modifying their ability and style. This role is filled by the HoYD by default, however if none is employed whichever staff member is set to be responsible for youth development will fill this role.

this intro precisely

At 9:28 you turned into Sylvester Stallone for a moment!

First year of Manchester United save got 3 high potential players and ever since I’m now I’m 2031 I haven’t had anybody above 3 stars... everything you mentioned in this video has been followed.

Can you confirm some of the myths of getting a son in FM20? is it now affected by youth intake preview screen?

Oh I'll tell you about my youth in take. I've had all of these things in place, and all I ever get brought to me is a series of garbage wasters who have no business sucking down the oxygen at our club. My hopes are cruelly dashed every year

hehe these introes! Do you have some advice for wonderkid target men?

Does this apply to the Touch version as well? Actually can al of your videos be applied to the Touch version?

Duh, I missed the scouting range from my foreign head of youth development too lol, real SMH moment when I saw that bit. I have Bernard Peters (he is AMAZING), but he is German, and I have Atalanta, and his scouting knowledge is only from German, not an aota in Italy yet. P.S I couldnt find the tool editor thing in my steam, and I bought the game there, bit odd.

Hiii I’m pretty new to football manager on pc not played it since like 2013, when hiring youth staff manly manger/ assistant what do I need to look for in them? Help would be appreciated thank you 🙏

Just wanted to let everyone know that your youth players can be poached before you even see them due to things like low reputation or they have extremely high potential but as your club develops you will do the same

Is there a rang of "type of personality" from the best personality to the worse for Head of youth development? example is ambitious better than determined or is determined better that fairly professionel?

You should do a save in Scotland with rangers man, I've been playing FM since 2009 and even I'm learning a lot from your channel, definitely going to check out the twitch stream, a rangers save would be the cherry on the cake 🤯💯

Your way of speaking remind me so much of that "gradualreport" guy with serbian lessons :D

Its 2034 im in charge of Paris FC, won ligue 1 twice and my club reputation is 4.5 stars. Youth facilities is Great. Junior coaching Adequate. Youth recruitment is Exceptional. HOYD is 2.5 star reputation with France full knowledge. Why is it I get zero players in my youth intakes?

I see that Mr Irvine isnt a "natural" HOYD" rather he is an assistant manager. Does this have any effect?

on old fm's singing players and having players from other countries effected it, promoting young players to first team and playing them also used to increase it the potial of amazing regens you would get . I tested it for years on fm12 with truro city. In my first 3 intakes I had a player better then ronaldo and messi and with the rest all being premier league potential that was in the lowest tier playable in england. not sure if it's the same with fm21 but maybe that's something to try out not singing players and promoting players.

these intros keep getting better and better

Good to know 👍🏾

Can't speak for 2020, but in the past there seemed to be an element of randomness where the recruit generator(despite low reputations) can/would produce GOAT's in the strangest places....including Stevenage :)

DUDE... so surprised not to hear a british accent

I've just set up my game only just bought it 40 quid ..sweet jesus🙈 🙏🙌👍..Southampton save iam starting..

That start hahah 🖐️🖐️😂😂

Do you know if adjustments made in the editor effects already started saves? I mean I have set Norway's youth ranking at 200, junior coaches and facilities already 20, superb head of youth development, I have been save scumming for hours just to see, and I have had maybe 1 out of 100 intakes described as average, the rest simply crap.

Hi just got fm2020 i was wondering when exactly is youth intake day?

@zealand If you edit the Youth Rating of a Nation on Editor2020, does it apply on an already saved game that you want to continue? Or does it take Effect ONLY when you start a new save?

Here is the summary. My English is not that good. Hope someone can correct me :) : 1. reputation of your club. The only way to improve it is win and win. 2. youth rating: how good a country produces young players. We cannot control this without changing pre-game editor. 3. Head of Youth development. The reputation of him is very important. All the higtlighted attributes seem important. Working with youngsters helps with deveolping your young players. Tactical style and preferred formation will influence which player they bring in. The world knowledge of him will also have some impacts. 4. Youth recruitment and junior coaching, which are the last two rows in the facilities. Recruitment is just a budget, which will directly affect whether high-potential players come in. Junior coaching is how good your youth coaching are. It will not influence the players you bring in.

thanks mate

Fkn funny vid dude 🤘🏾🤣

Genius video. 3 watch

Anybody knows how to get more trainers on -18 and-23 and get higher loans for them, asking for more loan on trainers or askin extra trainees only seem to work for main team, love the video !!

Is it worth bringing in a Head of Youth Development who is a model citizen, 18 working with youngsters and really good jpa/jpp, also good attributes in determination, motivating and discipline but doesn't have any knowledge of the country the club is based in?

In FM Touch to get a good youth intake you have to pay FM extra monies. In game purchases suck and everyone hates them but FM is using them in Touch. So, just forget about youth intakes in Touch.

As an Indonesian, i'm surprised when someone mention Indonesia in Football Manager.

Hey, I know this is way late but just thought of something. Does scouting range have any effect on players coming into your youth intake, like, if my scouting range is only local (lets say uk), can I still get players from outside of the uk in my youth intake? Thanks

am i crazy for not having a head of youth development? marc overmars just retired and Im waiting for a club legend or for my assistant coach to take the role eventually

Got the best young player of all time last season with my lazio team 2019vz in 2029 Ceylon Wormgoor dutch AM.. he unfortunately done his knee 6 monther.. hes just back dont worry he will still make it ahahaha eventually hopefully..

1. Are CA/PA judging stable for HoYD? 2. How to increase reputation of your HoYD? Is it linked to club reputation?

hey fellow ck2 player! try the other paradox games they are good

Won’t let me have more that 6 U18 coaches? I ask the board for more, they agree, but they only raise it to 6 coaches. Any ideas ?

5:15 sadly weston-super-mare is not in any of these leagues since they got relegated on 2019-2020. I'm actually sad about that, they were my team for FM19

Does moving young players to the first team then just making available for the youth teams bypass your youth facilities and coaching??

Great video! But if all that's true this means that the future Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, etc. can only appear in the top clubs? Is this realistic? Many of the great players have started from clubs, which are not that successful. How does it work for clubs like Ajax, Stuttgart or Southampton - in real life these are clubs, which produce some of the best players?

Is there any evidence showing the reputation of the Head of Youth Dev growing? And does is, again, simply grow from being attached to a winning team or is there any sign that their rep might grow if, for example, they recruit a high potential prospect to the club?

Hey I know this is a little late but is a head of youth guy better with 5 star rep and 10 on judging CA/PA or 2 star rep with 20 CA/PA

Filippo Galli is must for me with his model citizen personality. Brings in some sexy youngsters

so you can also just go on the editor and change the youth rating if you want to?

That chest hair

I’m currently Basel, into 4th season, Alan Irvine is my HOYD. All youth facilities and training ground are the best. But I still keep getting a rubbish youth intake. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Basel are meant to have one of the best youth facilities on the game, and I just can’t produce any decent players !

How is there a way to view a nations game importance? Even with the editor I can't find it

2:11- I am also pretty sure that putting 12-year-olds is illegal, I think I read it on an article

So how come I didn't get a single youth intake in a whole year? And why did the my analysis stay there for 6 months? And then changed as soon as I got promoted, (got better) but why did I get a summary but it's just been sitting there for almost a season?

why do I never get any 4 star youth prospects, its always a couple of 2.5 stars and 3-4 2 star players every club every season, I am in the year 2045 in my 3rd club and seems the same every time despite managing man u and having a great HOYD

I'm Deportivo la Coruna and find it impossible to get good quality youth coaches/staff with half decent attributes let alone the best staff with good personality traits. Is this a la Liga thing?

Fifa manager had all youth teams down to age 12 i think. They just generatet regens

Zealand is the third Green brother

Who needs it. Head up to higher divisions and hoover up all those kids let loose by those teams who are way better than kids at your level. Buys time for you to recruit better staff.

What pc do you use

i cant request board for junior coaching and youth recruitment

just save game before youth intake. lol

I have never had a good youth intake. In 6 full seasons across 3 teams in my latest save. Nobody even close to play in the league I am in let alone a good talent that someone else might want in the future.
