FC 24: YOUTH ACADEMY TIPS

#FC24 #CareerMode Essential, Easy to Follow Tips to make the most of the Youth Academy in FC 24 Career Mode.

[@imnotarapper.9279]

A common thing in FIFA 23 that you may still need to be conscious of in FC24 was that sometimes when you signed a player to your academy, their stats wouldn't suit the position they played in so you would have to change their positions and watch their overall skyrocket. So be careful of this before you release a youth player

[@FCGems]

Made a video on this in FIFA23 👍🏻

[@ratdyt]

Then how do I know the correct position for my academy players?

[@quc7w7]

just look at his stats like if dribbling and speed is higher then others go for winger. if shooting is good then go for a striker etc ​@@ratdyt

[@Robin-Paul]

​@@ratdyt it needs football knowledge from you, as the manager. Look at the youth player you just signed to join your youth academy. If he has a disappointingly low overall rating, but he has at least a decent minimum potential rating, his current position is probably not the position where he is at his best. So you look at his stats. For example, you have signed a youth player who is a central midfielder, a CM. But you see that he doesn't have good passing stats on average, but he has (for example) great physical stats, and maybe a great sliding tackle stat or standing tackle stat. Combined with decent speed stats (to keep up with the opponents strikers while running and marking) you can train that youth player into a central defender or maybe a left back or right back. Or maybe your central midfielder has better attackings stats, such as agility, dribbling, and shooting (long shot, finishing, for example) so you can look at making him a CAM or a LW or RW (agility is very useful especially for wingers)

[@jadenryan4923]

I did a scout report in Sweden for 3 months in my Burnley save and searched for technically gifted player and got a player called Ahmed Igurdsson with a value of a whopping 4,3 million euros and his rating was 73. Greatest find in my fifa career

[@tonior3574]

What are his playstyles and position?

[@darksidematter5115]

How? I scouted a winger from argentina and found a 6.2million worth player and he 69 rated bruh

[@0BI-WAN.KENOBI]

Thank u so much bro! Now everry player in my academy is like 56-66 rated and nearly everyone got up to 94 potential. I even got 3 +1 million players in one scouting report!

[@stephengalvinjrtrue]

I had found a unique trick to finding good YA players as well! Apparently, scouting in a Youth Scouts home nation works well as well! Last year, I found good YA players in Albania and Greece consistently, this year, Norway and a little bit less from Germany.

[@VinnieRPA]

I like to go with 4/4 scouts or 5 experience 4 judg. This gives me late 50 OVR with 94 POT. I then decide what position I want them to eventually be and before they are trained in that position sign them to the 1st team. They usually come in on prospect or sporadic contracts so I don’t need to play them all the time and just send them out on loan until they’re ready.

[@MrMuppetLover]

I still follow your minimum value tips in my English RTGs.

[@nilz_klmm]

I searched for technical gifted players in Spain and got a cam worth 5.2 Mio with a 72. My beste finding ever

[@loganeaton-watts8989]

Thing is with coaching staff i have a aston villa career going but i can only appoint 10 coaches when my recommended stars is like low to mid 20s ea need to make it so the bigger your club gets the more coaches you can hire

[@quay8561]

Got any tips on selling and loaning people? They seem to always reject when it comes to the contracts

[@EwennF1281]

Alr found tons of gems in scouting projects, but here are a few countries and positions i like to scout: South Korean wingers (or Asian in general) Estonian players (any) Turkish playmakers Btw another thing is you can actually get a homegrown talent in fc24, and i can confirm it by experience cause it happened to me in my current career mode (even if he had an absolutely garbage overall and stats to start with, with about 9 seasons, he became a 94 rated striker)

[@MeatballYaro2]

My only question is, is there an importance in wage? Obviously, value provides its own hint, but is wage anything more than just another thing to pay attention to in the club budget?

[@alexmartinez-villar4794]

Searching for a specific position can be a bit of a waste anyway as many youth prospects are in the incorrect position and need to be retrained to a different one. It's also the reason why some have high potential but low value (wrong position = low overall)

[@Lookout20]

I wish they would add Central America one day ❤

[@loganeaton-watts8989]

You can scout there?

[@tatertoott5913]

A video on playstyles and playstyle+ would be very helpful

PlayStyles are still a bit of a mystery to me to be honest. 🤣

[@wccwv]

What is the best time to get them into the team?

[@bahadiruner501]

What does PlayStyles 1-3 mean in the Attributes section for YA players? I assume every number points to a certain one. 1 --> Tiki Taka 2 --> Gegenpress etc. Do you have any idea? Thanks Self Edit : Oh i guess it is the number of potential PlayStyles for a player :) now it makes sense

[@FCGems]

Your Self Edit answer is correct 👍🏻🤣

[@DAYLU1]

No it's random, very frustrating. Tried find answers, but to no avail 🙃

[@jvr6272]

Hi there I wanted to know, is Weakfoot or Skill moves star gained during development permanent or non permanent when inactive??

[@FCGems]

They are permanently following completion of the Development Plan

[@Jtarttonmymomma]

Can you change a players weak foot or skill moves after they leave the academy ?

[@FCGems]

You can upgrade skill moves & weak foot at any point via Development Plans 👍🏻

[@saifedrees478]

So any and any for types and positions is the best to get high potential players?

[@FCGems]

No. Any / Any will ensure you are more likely to get HIGH value player. Value is influenced by both OVR rating & Potential.

[@gunzandblazing4242]

Can a youth academy player have a playstlye+ (gold colour) immediately once you sign them?

[@FCGems]

PlayStyle+ was initially only supposed to be for the elite players and not YA players. However, a bug did allow some PlayStyle+ YA players & REGENS. EA says the bug has been fixed. So it all depends on if you started a career mode in the window where the bug allowed PlayStyle+ to randomly appear.

[@gunzandblazing4242]

@@FCGems Ty for the reply

[@realstepper6896]

Where in the squad hub does it show the players potential range after promoting them

[@narrator7471]

Look at the player's status in squad hub if they're over 60 overall. It will say a one of a few things. If it says "Showing Great Potential" it means 80-85 potential. If it says "An Exciting Prospect" it means 86-90 potential. If it says "Has Potential to be Special" it means 91+ potential. If it doesn't say any of these, then the potential is lower than 80.

[@gunzandblazing4242]

​@@narrator7471 Also, if the player has a good season then they'll upgrade the status to next season. It does work on some youth academy players, but not all. E.g I had a Colombian striker that was "an exciting prospect", he was on top form all season. The next season he had "has potential to be special"

[@FromLYCity]

Regarding scouting network : If I only set position without any specific type, does It mean that I have less chances to get high potential players ? For instance I sent a scout in Germany for my Hamburger SV career mode, I've only put CM as position and no specific type, Does it reduce chances to get high potential youth players ? Thanks in advance for your answer And thank you for your incredible work Greetings from Lyon, France

[@FCGems]

Yeah, specify any of the parameters will reduce chances of getting a good player.

[@FromLYCity]

​@@FCGems Very interesting, didn't know about that even If I play fifa since 2001... Thank you very much for your reply !!

[@FCGems]

Well the YA positions are new to FC24 so looked into the process in depth.

[@oakleymccrohon7513]

I’m really confused I promoted 4 players to the pro team from the 4 positions the objective told me to but it still says 0/4 what did I do wrong please and thank you

[@FCGems]

Board Objectives have been broken since FIFA20. Most of them don’t register when completed.

[@Jobber8270]

That objective is probably "sign to youth academy", and you need to send out scouts, and put those positions in your YA

[@MrForsesss]

after how many year the youth player reach their potential ?

[@FCGems]

That all depends on how often they play

I dont buy players always scout and play them i find thats more fun home grown players are better

Is it weird that another factor I use is if their generic face is good or bad lol. Can’t stand generic faces, especially bad ones. Hojlund getting a game face is a massive win

with this method i found an academy player that was worth 6m

[@erickzelaya452]

Why do all of the players i sign on the youth academy never have a playstyle +???

[@FCGems]

PlayStyle + appears when a player reaches a certain OVR. From what I’ve found with REGENS.

[@lololdisgus]

​@@FCGemsis the plus dependent on which play style he already has? And what rating threshold does it take to upgrade to +

How exactly we can canlculate the potenial, for example 85-94 How?

[@bryanz.7877]

I know we need to sign the player, but how do you know the potential?

We don’t know the exact potential. Just that it falls within the range of the Potential Status listed in the Squad Hub.

But if i send a player on loan the player immedatly grow with 6 to 8 points without any match played and a lot fewer club… Can someone help me with this problem?

it’s a month from when you send them out but if you don’t know that go to youth scout staff and where is sees like the end date or whatever it shows the day of the month, it’s the same for all the months they are out

[@liftedent9481]

How long do I keep players in the youth academy?

[@FCGems]

That depends on the type of career mode you’re playing to be honest. If you need the player quickly then not as long - but if you’re playing a career mode not Youth Academy centric then you should leave the player in the Academy as long as possible.

How rare are youth academy players getting a play style+ I also got one that developed one over time, not sure if that’s because of an update they made though

I’ve seen many REGENS with PlayStyle+ not had a YA player develop one yet.

@@FCGems yeah, the one I got was a youth academy player that I think was a homegrown, like he was in the club when I created it. He started out with no play styles and then I loaded up the game one time and all of a sudden he had 2. I assumed it was from an update but idk, I also loaded up again today for the first time in a while and he had the chip playstyle+ which is extra weird cause he is a CB. I do play through a with all of youth academy talents but this is the only one this happened with. Weird
