Best way to get a golden generation is to play in a such a shit awful club that every player that comes in has potential far higher than whatever dross you got. The potential ability is scaled on your own team after all.

I like getting all excited when I get 2x 5* potential wonderkids, then giving them as much game-time as possible to help them develop quicker, only for them to fall to 3* potential within 2 years.

7:35 - Actually Scouting Knowledge is important - someone tested it and the results were that if your HoYD is a foreigner with small to zero knowledge of a country he's working in, he'll produce less good intake than a guy with identical stats but based in the same country as your club. I.e. if your Head of YD is English working in e.g. Spain he will do worse than in England.

[ssbooth]

Don't forget that your HoYD also coaches the u18s, so make sure they're good in one of att/def/fit/men and one of tac/tec! It's a freebie! Never rule out DDM either.

In my latest save I started in the 2nd Serbian division and as I got promoted and grew each year I sacked my HOYD and got a new one every year, and 4 years running I had an excellent intake. I think there's something coded into the game that gives a good intake on their first season.

[alexandrenaud]

You forgot the affiliates clubs, for example I am with FCSM in France ( sochaux) and I have affiliates clubs in luxembourg, Australia and Portugal and now I have some players from those countries yearly in my youth intake

[hectorae]

Giving young players lot's of playing time helps a LOT too.

4:28 "Due to move into the 29, 949 capacity Keith Alexander Stadium", as a Macclesfield fan, I love this. Legend. Well played FM.

[DrZaius]

When I was in the fourth tier with Kettering, I got a RWB with potential ability 193. He was a regular starter every season since then, contributing to promotion every year, gaining around 20-30 current ability every season which made him a superstar level player in every league he played in.
I'm still chasing that high/lottery win.

[JamieAubrey]

Also for your HoYD they will bring in players for their preferred tactic so if you play a 4-4-2 and his tactic is a 4-3-2-1 you might get wingers ( in fact YOU WILL get wingers cause every intake has wingers ) that you don't need

[oktayunluer]

Scouting leagues is important too. I add every league and organizations for myscout list and get 6 five star player. Next year i didnt do it and get 0. its increase your luck significantly but your game will be slow.

[MannifredHobgoblin]

We all have our favourite nations to sign young players from, and having staff with scouting knowledge in these nations help them come through your intake

[vicopradipta]

You still need win the league and european competition. Reputation is important thing too as mentioned in the video.

[evanjones]

Yo broski thank you so much for all your help man... i lo
love u

[JMThought]

Really useful video. You can always trust Tommy Triangle for FM tips.

[connorlong]

Whoah I subscribed and it really worked

[nickbanting]

Hi Tom. I wonder if it would make any difference by using the in game editor to change your clubs reputation to max before youth intake day. Having the same save, but one keeping the same reputation, vs the max reputation changing just before intake day.

Would be interesting to see if that has any effect on it.

[PAINNN]

It also depends on club and league where it's club plays. As example Trencin from Slovakia. Mediocre team in mediocre league but with very good facilities. Not Brommopojkarna level but for this level it's good and for first seasons it's golden generation after GG. Yes. Some are mutants with bad placing skills or with bad mentality. But still.

[jwilliam]

At Arsenal I have perfect everything and still get poor intake sad times.

[benjaminkuhn]

Even played the music from the ebfm videos, which are a world ahead apart from the music.
