FIFA 21: YOUTH ACADEMY TIPS

I know this is kinda irrelevant, but I would love to see a "owner career mode" in fifa. Where you hire managers, manage finances, do transfers suggested by managers, etc

[@lumiya4596]

it's not a new idea and something EA should have talked about already. What you just described has been a game mode in nba 2k for years. But youre right, your idea or any in the community really is irrelevant. EA doesnt listen to its community and only focuses on fut since theyre getting more money from there.

I'm a statistics person I think FIFA needs more stat. I would like to go back in the years and see who scored the most goals and assists in every League.

Not to contradict you but with high potential low overall youth academy players you may be able to change their position to something that suits them more and have their overall skyrocket. I had one player that had a overall in the 40s and I switched him from CDM to ST I believe and he went to high 50s

Indeed. And it’s personal preference. But I wouldn’t waste time on any YA player so low rated.

back in previous versions of fifa you could find a Tech Gifted striker those kinds were so freaking good, perfect attacking stats, decent pace and incredible dribbling.

[@coolstufftodo5256]

I think that value is more important then overall for one reason. I got this fella who was 53 overall cdm but he had no defensive ability. His stats were solid cam stats and he was 69 overall once position changed. He’s now 21 years old 93 overall.

[@gamemasteroffun]

Bruh what

[@lumiya4596]

4:15 it is very hard and unrewarding to just completely rely on receiving scout reports and turning out to not find any player good enough. So it makes sense to do this tip if youre really looking for better results. Reminder, EA makes you pay more just to get a future star in your starting YA squad in cm. So doing this free thing isnt a cheat, think of it as a lifehack.

Finally this video mate, love you work (sorry for the english, im a brazilian fan and i make videos of youth academy) I should do a video of how to not loose the ya players potencial

[@treytonlandplayz3151]

I once got a 65 rated CDM with harrogate town, I trained him into CB where he became 68...

[@ysn3833]

Another tip: I also noticed that clubs who have high expectations (the board expectations for YA, succes in league, finance expectations etc) for the YA mostly have a few good youth players in the academy at the start of youre career mode. You can see this in the beginning before you choose your team. I play with Portsmouth, they had high expectations for the YA. There were 3 boys in the acadamy already with potential for exiting prospect (overall were 57, 56 and 62).

[@PivotToThePast]

You can also train RB and LB to RWB and LWB to train their Skill Moves, and ST to CF for Defensive Work Rate. When you have completed the above training sessions you can retrain your players back to their original position. This is more like general tip but it also applys to youth players

[@PivotToThePast]

And CDM ➡ CM for Skillmoves

[@dipatach23]

I think you can train players in different positions to improve the stats, skill move and weak foot and not actually change their positions. When the position training is completed, don’t press Y to confirm the position change. I know this definitely work for work rate

[@PivotToThePast]

@@dipatach23 no but I mean if you have a CM you can train his Skillmoves but if you have a, CDM you can't so train your CDM to CM to train their skillmoves and than retrain to CDM once training is finished

I have a manager mode where I use Crotone, then sent a scout to Italy and on the first or second report I found a guy named Marco Rossi that was 15 yrs CM with a 80-93 potential. Put him on the first team at 16 he was like 67 or 68 and now at 21 he’s 91 overall and it looks like there is still lots of room to grow. He’s the best player I’ve found in my 4 manager modes I’ve done, but he has no traits and same goes for 95% of the good potential youth players I’ve scouted.

Scouting regions, that are historically conjoined with your club may be fun, but if the region is not exactly successful, and you manage to find and develop a great player from that region-he will be called out to his national team every time they have a match, therefore he won't be available for the club matches. So scouting players in the "TOP tier" countries will ensure you have your talents at your hand, due to the high position competion in top tier national squads.

[@robingeschiere9044]

I asked for this and you actually made it. Thanks

[@harrywakeling5600]

I enjoy the youth academy idea. I admit I didn’t buy the higher editions so I don’t have “home grown talent”. There is an easy way to fix this. Before your career mode starts create the player that you want. He can be as good or as bad as you want them to be. They will have “potential to be special if they r young enough. Also last thing when it comes to countries to scout these are the countries that I think you should scout: Albania Croatia Estonia Latvia Lithuania Moldova Slovakia Serbia Ukraine Japan Korea Saudi Arabia Algeria Ghana Morocco Nigeria The reason is because these teams don’t have a national squad on Fifa so they can’t get called up for international duty throughout your save. Hope this helps

[@richa7976]

Good idea 👍

[@gamemasteroffun]

I feel like I like last years development style better. Where the training directly improves your player, but I like how you can train a lot of players this year.

[@soyjusthyn7850]

no way this year is so much better.. you can take very tall right and left backs (198 cm) and turn them into godly pacey cbs. you can also also have a very technical agile and fast striker by turning a left or right winger into striker.. if you play the 433 with false 9 you can turn a very technical player into that false 9 and not have to worry about playing a physically strong bum there that cant move to save his life.. also workrates you can have your full team on high defensive workrates if you wnat to play a counter attacking defensive football so this year is obviously way better not even talking about dynamic potential

[@AlldayBeastin]

Personally I never liked the “save and retry for better YA players” method.. BUT. Can’t deny the success of the method, just takes away from the realism for me. THANKS FCG!

The tip about searching countries relevant to history... is that just a cool preference (I also do it) OR...did you mention it because it has sme relevance to the scripting/game setup ?? Let me know . Thanks !

[@1985Cookiedude]

This is completely off topic but my reserve keepers didn’t get too much play time and so their sharpness kept on going down because as you know you can’t train goalkeepers other than play them so I have started to train my players everyday but to keep them at perfect fitness and perfect sharpness I change the drills to only two players each so 6 total. This also increases the reserve keepers sharpness. You do have to check it though and put them into the first team now and then but it definitely gets all of the reserve keepers sharpness up without having to play them all the time👍🏻

[@FCGems]

But why do reserve GK need match sharpness if your not gonna play them?

[@1985Cookiedude]

@@FCGems I have two youth keepers I rotate for cup competitions to give them game time and bring them on now and then if I’m winning a game by a goal or two with roughly half an hour remaining. But if I don’t have any cup games for a few weeks when they are needed their sharpness is not very good.
