    Playing as Leeds, just won the Prem for the 2nd time but over the past 4 seasons not a single potentially decent player has come through my academy - the highest rated had a potential of 2 stars

    My head of youth development has potential ability/working with youngsters of 19 each and I have top class youth facilities

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Cheers!

    expand your scouting network.

    its all well and good having great facilities but if your only picking up people from the leeds area then youve not much hope...

    Get coaches with high reputations and strong personalities. Youth players usually come in with coaches as their favoured personel so I reckon the type of coaches you have, has an effect on the youth intake.

    Facilities, Scouting Range & Knowledge, Club reputation, league reputation would be the other factors i reckon

    i have always had issues with my regens from my academy

    the best i could prob muster would be someone with a PA of 150 -160

    meanwhile inter, barca, bayern and all of South America are churning out gems at a mile a minute
