The Mighty Quinn Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm retiring in 2 months time and going to get stuck into football manager 2012 in a big way. I'm only a bit part player just now and sign some promising youngsters and ususally loan them out to lesser teams to gain them experience. I also just keep them on the same training program (default) as the first team. My youth players never seem to become good enough for my first team or are pretty average players. Does anyone know or have a very good system of making the players fufil their potential? Or is it just like real life, and a true gem only comes along once in a while? Any help would be appreciated.

chunky jag Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 i havent got 12 yet, too many good xbox games at the minute, but in 11 i finally felt i was getting to grips with it. obviously, you need good coaches with high "working with youngsters" attributes. also, getting them tutored by good players, and yeah, nothing like first team game time, loan them out for at least 2 seasons, i'd have players from 17 onwards, and normally by 22 i had a few that were worthy of first team. never uncovered a messi or anything, but u can make a difference getting them a game elsewhere.

jags365 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Do you have any training plans for the first team players? (apart from the default ones) If so you can probably just tailor them slightly for the youth players, ie less training for Strength and Aerobic. Apart from that same as above.

jags365 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I've also found that if you start playing the youngsters for the last 10-15 mins of first team games (should you have the chance) that this also helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
