FC 24 Youth Academy GUIDE - Find The BEST Players!

I look at Potential and THEN Value….anything over 1mil or 2mil is amazing the most I’ve seen is a goalkeeper 2.5mil at 69 rated I think

That's right.

Using the Academy it’s the only way to built up the Money when u start with a small team!

I found a wonderkid and his only 16 called Jude hood played 5 games scored 5 goals my wonderkid

What's the highest value you can get from a scouted player? The most I've seen is a 17 year old Finnish left back. Ended up being about 64 rated with some playstyles

How do I turn off dynamic potential on pc? What mod or third party thing do I need

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 !!

Perhaps they patched the game I don't know but in 2 seasons I found 10+ players with 88+ potential with playstyle + They don't seem to be that rare to me. I found all except finesse + which seems to be the most broken playstyle. Thanks for the good content.

Somehow I managed to find a defensive minded striker with an overall of 39. Retraining him to a Right back caused his overall to rise to 66.

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.

I remember my first career mode with forest green and I got them to the prem and started wondering why my LB was the top scorer, he had 90 shooting. I never even noticed

My youth players have great potential but when they are in my senior team they upgrade +1 in 10 weeks or something. Any help how they can get to there potential faster

I don't sign players less than 500k

there's a glich when you change position on some youth, increase the overall

Do they have more play styles this year?

Just play football manager haven't touched career mode since 08 ass

Disappointed in having the youth players generic boots again

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?

If ea spent any effort on career mode they would of fixed half these problems a decade ago. Feels like they spend 5% of their budget on it

Can you do a video on how to use the third party software?

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?

I honestly look at value and potential

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?

What’s the editor called that lets you change potential, appearance, and add playstyles?

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.

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.

Best archetype for balanced cm?

Don’t listen to this guy, he doesn’t talk any sense ! One minute he says don’t leave your players in the youth, next minute he is saying keep them in there as long as possible……… listen to me… he also states the best thing to look at is potential, yes , but one of the main things to look for is overall… try finding players with the highest starter overall…. You can find a player with potential 90+ but starter overall 45-50… infact look for potential 90+ with starter overall 65-70…

my minor problem that kind of ruining the immersion of Career mode is how generic the surnames for most English speaking country's regen players are.Nothing against The Smiths or The Browns . But where are the ethnic surnames ( Saka,Singh,Tarkowski,Le Tissier) or rarer surnames (Drinkwater,Huddlestone,Foderingham) etc . This also can be said for other countries with so little of variation of Surnames. As i said,its only a minor bothers but its personally ruins the immersion to commit to a long terms Career mode

cant wait for live editor to come to fc 24

Your wingers are probably the only 2 players that dont benefit much from being physically strong scouting. Literally every other position gathers you insane players with great physical ability. Always played youth academy career modes and i have not seen any other player type do better

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

Are there still super talents that you get from pre order?

"You can now scout by position"

Meanwhile me who took weeks to find my perfect striker: Insert Japanese guy screaming meme

What exactly are the pc enhancements?

Btw your video description says FIFA 23 career mode :)

Argentina...CAM...PLAYMAKER

Youll thank me later 😅

Can you elaborate on the dynamic potential not being properly coded? What do you mean by it only being effected in lower leagues?

I actually did get play style from my youth academe even got a playstyle+

Is this game any good this year should I buy the standard edition I don't really bother with ultimate team

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.

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.

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.

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

Stockport playing against Wrexham today couldn't be any better timed.

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

When you sign a youth goal keeper, do they still have the Positioning stat lower then everything else?

Once a player joins your main squad from the youth academy or wherever, how do you track the changes in their potential?

I’d put my house on the name pool still being a bit naff

Good to see that it is not YET a “flawless game that cannot me critiqued in any way”
