The 'Art' of Keeping Your Youth Academy Realistic

[@J87Leese]

Your content is so underrated. From the guides to advice videos absolutely love it. Following your advice I’ve managed to make a 5 season Schalke career fun when before I’ve never finished a second season

[@dante3884]

currently i'm also playing a shalke save

[@Yellamarilla]

Bro my scouts find 17-20 yr 90+ unfair😂

[@marks7669]

It’s sad how we have to manipulate the game to make it fun 😂. These are great tips.

[@DAYLU1]

Truly 😅🙂🙃😏

[@Nick-pu2kc]

You mean *try* to make it realistic. EA always finds a way to destroy your efforts to enjoy their game

When I did my Bald Only Challenge, only a few Youth Academy players were available. This limitation was enough to keep it grounded.

[@troyr8999]

The biggest problem with keeping the youth academy realistic is dynamic potential. Its quite easy to just sign youth players that align with the level of the league that you are in, but with dynamic potential it is almost impossible to prevent them from becoming the next Pele especially if you enjoy playing with them. I did a save where I used only 1 star scouts and only signed players with under 70 potential, but by the end of the 11 seasons my team was at all 90s. This was in Fifa 20 as well before Development Plans could accelerate growth at a crazy level. Its almost impossible to play in any non-top 5 league without becoming the best team in the league after season 3.

[@hiagovieira7274]

If your managing some 3 or less stars team, adding some rules like selling every 85 or above OVR player should keep things interesting. Im managing Cambuur RC in Netherlands and only hiring players from outside Europe or Youth Academy, and selling every 85 overall player. After 11 season, still got plenity of challange and still didnt got any CL, just a Europa League and some CL Semifinals. If a player from Cambuur recieves a offer from Real Madrid or Bayern, it doesnt make sense keep him...

[@HelloThere-uh3ll]

If your in a small league you’d sell your players in real life…also just lower the scout level or don’t sign high rated youngsters…not hard

[@troyr8999]

@hiagovieira7274 I guess my point is that I shouldn't have to sell 25% of my squad every season to make a small league fun. I understand selling 1 or 2 wonderkids every few seasons, but my whole team would get to 85 so quickly that I'd be needing to have a whole squad turnover way too often. If I sign a player with 75 potential I'd want them to stay at the club for a long time, but with DP their potential will be 90+ within 4 to 5 seasons.

[@goenz2424]

como es que logran arruinar una carrera tan rapido?. yo suelo usar canteranos y en la ultima que hice en este fifa, desde cuarta division inglesa a primera, ningun jugador paso de los 80 de media. Yo no uso entrenamientos, tengo desactivada la opcion que te pide entrenar en el calendario.

[@leonardotaquece2443]

You're responsible for some of the best fun I've had in Fifa's career mode in recent years. Congrats on the content!

[@beluga6312]

this is going to help me a lot in keeping my save realistic

[@MXHS7]

I've started a RTG hiring one recruiter with 2 stars, and to hire someone better or a 2nd recruiter I sell my players. Each $100M it's a star that I get. So basically to hire a 10 stars I have to get $1B selling my best players

[@stephengalvinjrtrue]

I use the youth academy a lot in fifa, but in most of my career modes, I only have one player that I consistently use. It was a Mexican CB by the name of Julian Villanueva, who was basically the strongest player, to a degree, on my club.

[@Sijs8]

I'm also thinking about just getting 1 scout, with 3 stars and send them out for 3 months and you have to get all the players they comeback with.

[@wilsonsimons12]

Another way I tried. Only send scouts that speak the language of the country they’re going to Ex: a scout from Spain speaks Spanish so only send that scout to countries where Spanish is the first language like Mexico

[@bingbong17760]

my favorite fifa yt, great video

[@RJSN543]

It's not related to the academies but if you do a financial takeover don't buy all world class players at once if your not a team in the UCL

[@coribery]

Great job mate, thanks!

[@SalvadorHVAC]

How can we play in the Asian Champions league? My game says Continental cup

[@Beanskiiii]

They’re adding the youth league!!? About damn time

[@bingbingpow]

Basically I have a rule is that I can promote and use them (to gain attention from bigger clubs) then as soon as an offer comes in from a team in at least 2 leagues higher (if possible for that country but if not basically that countries top league) I accept the offer straight away no negotiating price. And with the money i just keep realistic prices and signings so a lot of the money doesn't even get spent. I do allow 2 free agents max per season, but the rating I can sign depends on what league I'm in and also position of the club in the league and occasionally other competitions. Maybe someone will like my idea.

[@luke_0055]

So a lower league Brighton?

[@bingbingpow]

@fatherof0 yeh I suppose so, but I don't play any of the youth talent for the sake of not having a good team right from the start of the save

[@harry710]

I know this is like 2 months late, but good lord that big ass dude at the beginning. lol

I have one: in the EFL Championship avoid the Top 9 countries at all costs.

[@lukeroberts4000]

What about England?

[@MrMuppetLover]

@@lukeroberts4000 That’s the only exception.

[@markmakovic5872]

What tactics do you use for career modes? I feel like I have teams that would work well on paper but I can never make custom tactics that work in simulation.

[@dylanmunikwa1275]

I rate you should do a youth squad RTG

[@fuhyfelax8218]

5:04 weird question but how do you get animations like that? I’ve scored goals in the last minutes of games and it never does that for me it just gives me the standard celebrations

[@ZadXander]

Gotta be on next gen

[@MW92.]

It’s never going to realistic when they all look 45 years of age. Ea need to make them actually look young

[@barneythepurpledinosaur7002]

Yeah! I signed a 16 years old with a full beard.

I just always go for realistic countries and choose any for the search requirement and i always keep development plans on balanced and that keeps my club realistic

[@Konstantinos_Varakliotis]

In my opinion, the thing you are missing from the video is that i WANT to use 16 years old in career mode because it is the way that I want to manage my team. I should not have to wait until my players are 18 years old because the game can't generate bad overalls
