[@Yoshilover46]

the fact we can scout specific positions this year is a huge W, that's gonna be great for everyone who uses the academy often (like myself)

[@memebeast1028]

I searched for LB but got LW and CM also

[@milanthemonke9001]

@@memebeast1028change their position to LB they should go up

[@KrishnaBheemul]

Stfu. Charging full price for dlc, small tweaks isn't a win

[@ot.avfc74]

​@@memebeast1028it means u can easily convert them to the position u scouted for

[@lordogi32]

I was looking for a striker and i got one. But had to convert to a CB so it’s not really working like it should.

[@emmetk1786]

I remember reading that dynamic potential is based on the average match rating achieved in the first half of the season. This determines whether a player with 90+ potential in 2023/24 retains that potential, upgrades even further or falls to 80 or 85 potential in 2024/25. Never promote high potential youth players to the first team after Christmas unless they are threatening to leave. If you have to promote them in the second half of the season, try to loan glitch them. Generally try to loan youth players you don't have room to give regular minutes to. And don't bring them on as subs, as that tanks their match rating. Either start them, or don't play them at all. Have a handful of older or lower potential players to bring on as subs.

[@thomasmeier4399]

thank you for the tips! i hate how this game works because in real life, you most often see youth academy players getting chances off the bench after the Christmas period😭

[@geomejia8946]

You know I’ve noticed, loaning an academy player or any young player out in Jan and bringing them back if they played well before January can increase their Rating +2 or more maybe it’s just me but I’ve had players randomly go up +5 or more after doing a loan recall glitch….im not sure exactly why or how it works tho but this makes a bit of sense

[@patogames5099]

Another little tip (if you are looking for an overpowered academy); space your reports 2-3 days apart, and save before each one comes back. Review the report, and reload the aave if unhappy with the quality. Spacing them apart, means you won't ruin one or two reports, if the third one is bad.

[@MR.-.rocket]

Guud tip ty

[@JOMAZGUIDES]

If you see this could you reply to help me I only got fc24 recently and is quite new to the youth academy and didn’t ever use it in the past anyway to the point I have a youth striker with 50 overall, age 18, and has a potential of 92 do I leave him or promote him to senior team and loan him? Hope that makes sense

[@MR.-.rocket]

I would get rid I take anyone with 88 potential or higher and 55-57 ovall or higher

[@patogames5099]

@RDR2GUIDES depends on what time in the season it is. If it's still before December, then promote, and loan out in January. Also depends what club you are at. If he will play in every game, start or off the bench, then promote him and use him.

[@Fakyourfeelings]

I’ve found a CAM at 16 y/o with 81-94 potential. Signed him immediately and switched him to CM. He’s now 18 y/o and an 83 overall. Igor Carvahlo from Brazil. 6’2 89 pace. 90 physical. When he was 17 he increased his worth by 528%. Best I’ve come across in a dozen play throughs so far.

[@tony10_b84]

what was your scoutin technique to find a CM bro?

[@Fakyourfeelings]

@@tony10_b84 technically gifted. He’s now 20 y/o 92 overall. I’ve started him since 16

​@@Fakyourfeelings Yikes what a freak show am glad I did my research on this because the board kept asking me to sign players to the youth academy I failed the first time because I didn't know how to do it

[@Fakyourfeelings]

@@mrjonnybravo21 I have a new best youth academy player on my currently play through. Winger from Spain. He’s currently 22 y/o with a 97 overall. His pace is 99, dribbling is 99, passing only 90, and shooting 95. When I found him his value was 9.2mil. Absolute diamond

[@Phrystile]

Great Video! As someone who's well versed in Youth Academy driven career modes, seeing the addition of being able to specify the position your scouting for is a huge win and might actually get me to pick this game up sooner rather than later!

[@tobyblack2906]

Just as a note. The Playstyle+ do appear on youth academy players, they're just INSANELY rare (for reference, I reloaded my 3 scout reports for about an hour of real time and found one player with a playstyle+ that also had a useable potential)

[@Cutzy]

Thank you for the new information Toby

[@DanteDn1]

@@Cutzyyeah I got 4 naturally even got a play style+ of ping passer and one who had to play style long long and incisive

[@vnkdabaz3513]

Wdym by reloaded?

[@jackcampbell1704]

How does ea piss the bed with this

[@kalleleikos5260]

One more thing: Sometimes the players come in in a very wrong position, for example you might get a 43 rated cb who is really fast and good at shooting and has 33 defending. Change these plaeyrs into the position that you feel like is the best one available to them and they can jump even 15 to 20 ratings up

[@alexmeuleman9079]

Omg I didn't realise you could do this I kept wondering why my 90 potential players were such at 38 rating. Thank you so much

[@TheChudy0101]

Yea that's true,my 15yo striker had 45 on LM and 61 when changed position

[@GenjaOrigins]

But how you know which position suits them.

[@kalleleikos5260]

@@GenjaOrigins just figuring it out. Players with high shooting are usually strikers, good driblers go to wings all around players are good at cm, good passers but bad defenders can be CAM, and good defensive stats make CB or full back

[@johnnyconnors4450]

Good video very helpful I’ve subscribed and will be watching from now on ,,respect 🤝👍

[@0rbit13]

I like what they did with the youth scouts but there's still one problem that annoys me which is the fact that you can still not send scouts to the same country.

[@mikeclark9073]

I always send my scouts out on the 2nd, 4th and 6th of each month. Save the game on the last day of each month as the youth academy report comes on the 1st of each month, if the players have dropped in potential, simply reload the save. Also save the game on the 1st then the 3rd and then the 5th, if there are no decent players in each report, simply reload the game save.

[@ah21111988]

Thanks for the tips, very helpful video, I like that you can now finally choose the position to scout that makes much more since, but I've got a question if you don't mind. How do I scout pacey full-backs with good technicals and crossing? Someone like Cancelo or Alves Do I use winger and RB or LB as a position and then train their defending and physicals?

[@giftforkuzco9487]

Can't wait to see this in action for youth squad legends

Please someone tell me what career mode mod he is using. I've searched all over and downloaded so many different ones and still cant find one where I can get playstyle+'s on my youth players

[@talkingben5190]

Nice to see EA have failed to bother to fix the name pool as shown at 5:21

[@biboo2294]

Comrade, I have a suggestion to bring in legendary talents. Look at the value of the player. If it is a million or more, then contract with him regardless of his abilities, because he will be a legendary player. If you do not like him, you can sell him. Listen to my advice. Do not contract with any player whose value is less than a million. You can stop time until the day of sending. Report from the observer, save, and then return until you find a player worth a million or higher. This is my method and I always get legends.

[@CathalMacDonnacha]

If you don't like them you probably won't want to play them, so how will their value increase? Send out on loan?

[@biboo2294]

@@CathalMacDonnacha I only send the players I like on loan so they can develop because I know I won't play with them much. As for the ones I don't like, I sell them. I don't like accumulating talent. Only those I like remain. This is my way and you can do whatever you want.

[@Magnadra1989]

So any combination is possible? I Could get an defensiv minded Striker? Not that this ia a good idea XD

[@ThroughThe_Loop]

One thing I've always struggled to understand is if/when to change a youth players development plan. For example, do you leave them on balanced, change to a plan or position that improves their stats, or one that improves their bad stats?

[@roo1773]

I always train speed in youth once they peak change to whatever skill for the position he needs. Example, striker train shooting. When they go on loan after promoting change development to what he needs next. Then just keep changing to what they need. Just keep training to 80s or 90s or until they Max out

[@charlesbaker5747]

The removal of homegrown talent upset me , but seeing you can pick specifc positions that makes building a "Youth Academy Only" save so much more seemless and personalised !!

Do they have more play styles this year?

[@jhad7rbe]

Is it possible to put playing styles into the design of players

[@derseyfriend]

I have signed many youth players to my main squad with potential of 85-94. Once signed i check in the squad hub in which potential range they are. Unfortunately it only says "under contract since 2023" instead of "Has potential to be special". Why is that? Is it a glitch?

[@byrongunn4401]

if the player overall is under 60 coming out of the youth academy, it'll state the above until they reach the 60 overall benchmark, and from then they will show potential tags :)

[@daron4355]

Anybody have a general idea of how long it might be before we start seeing mods for career mode on PC? Or if there are already any out. I don't want to play through a whole season just to have all my good youth talent backslide with the dynamic potential bug.

[@dansblues]

I haven't played career mode for a while so forgive me if this is a silly question but can anyone tell me how much it actually costs (if anything) to sign a player to your academy? I think I vaguely remember on older FIFA's that it would tell you. (I think it was about 90,000 or something). Is this still the case as I haven't seen anything anywhere. I'm using a club with a small budget so don't want to bankrupt the club by signing too many youth players!

I'm unsure how it works now cos i just carried on with Fifa22 but Player Height by Position was an important thing. CDM is the only position that can produce really tall players, up to 6'6. Full Backs could only be up to 5'11 so you needed to find CDMs over 6ft and retrain them as CBs. Assuming EA didnt change it, it might be useful to scout for specific positions for height and then retrain i finally got my "Holy Grail player" a 15 year old, 6ft5, Technically Gifted, CDM, with exciting prospect, to retrain as a striker. I spent 2 seasons looking for one and finally got one with high potential... as FC24 was downloading... i will probably never use him and his name is Alfonso Alonso

[@thomasmeier4399]

I feel your pain. I just found a wonder kid keeper with 5 star skills and 65 freekicks while FC24 was downloading 🫠he deserves a full career scoring freekicks

[@ChimaeraTom]

Breakdown of possible Height by Position, stats from a guy on reddit who scouted over 600 players. Centerbacks (yes, they do exist! But ive only ever got Playmaker types with terrible defending): 5'11"-6'3" Fullbacks/wingbacks: 5'5"-5'10" CDMs: 5'7"-6'6" CMs: 5'5"-6'2" CAMs: 5'7"-6'3" Wide mids/wingers: 5'5"-5'11" STs/CFs: 5'5"-6'3" I'm assuming EA have not changed this since Fifa22 seeing as they cant even be bothered to google "50 most common surnames in x Country" and Ctrl-C -> Ctrl-V to increase the name pools.
