When reshaping my club, i feel responsible for all teams and therefore I do manage my Under 23 (german league) but i do not attend matches. I usually set up the team the day, when i am asked if i want to make first team players available. It doesnt seem to work all the time but its good enough. I aim to move the team up to the highest league possible and am not afraid to spend money to do so. In your video, i feel there is one thing missing: as one is usually limited regarding the amount of coaches, i found it helpful to sign scouts and sports scientists, who are also willing to take a second assignement as assistant coach or athletics coach. while it takes some time to find proper staff and there are usually not the best quality coaches available to perform these tasks, it sure does help to improve the U-team team AND first team training by significantly lowering the workload. ) havent found that advice anywhere else... therefore you could be the first to deliver in a proper video format ;) - check it out )
15/16/17 in the U18 = good coaches and monitor development hands on. 18/19/20/21 = first team or loaned out and completely ignore the staff or matches that team plays.. can be all greys if its up to me
I have been looking several times for a video about this and never found one, until this one! Thank you for showing us!!! Finally a video about a part of FM that was still "uncovered" on RU-vid. I think its lovely that we can control our youth squads and decide who we line up and give instructions and make them even more familiar with our tactics and training. However i also think that in future FM's we should be able to start a career as a U21 coach in leagues with clubs who have full youth squads and sign players for that age range. Its also more realistic when not having the biggest coaching badges/licenses and working your way up the ladder before getting job offers for first team coaching by clubs. It would make FM much more interesting for long term saves
Absolutely loving this. Always great to find new ways to play and I never thought about this before. It's giving me a load of new save ideas. Thank you!
Man thanks a million, my staff was doing a shit job at u19 development so ill take charge of the training at the very least. I still dont know if its worth it to fully manage the matches to ensure the full potential realization of the wonderkids but them downward arrows were scaring tf outa me. This video helped a lot thanks
There is a way you can cheese picking the team for every u21 and u18s game. What I do is every pre season, I put every player in my senior squad and I build all my squads out (First 11+5 Subs) decide who I want to loan out etc. Then I save the team selection. When it comes around to your u21s manager asking you to make players available for the u21s and u18s game you simple select the saved team selection from pre season everytime and if there’s any injuries the AI will filter in players before the game
Also to add up, you can fire U-21 manager (also B team manager, U-23 or/and U-18 manager) and lead all the matches as well as friendlies. (never hire those managers and you will be able to fully control all of those mentioned teams)
what I like to do with high prospect youth players is put them in the first but right click on there name and make them available for under 21/18's. This way, they train with the first team plus will will allow them to be mentored by first team players/control there individual training.
Game experience generally helps more than anything else for development. I’d just be super picky about the club, make sure he’s a first team starter, correct position and that the clubs formation suits him. Lots of variables
About the same here, @@TheManagersSeat. I even check the squad's personality and try to get one that is close to mine. On the other hand, when a player clearly won't make it to my first team, I try to loan him out for a year or so, to increase his market value before selling him out.
I always train the weakness in the role you’re using them for. If they complain it’s fine, you’ll find a lot of players moaning about training. Just keep improving the staff along the way 👍
Good shout, it works well with this tactic as we have the inverted wingbacks on attack and the wide men who get into crossing positions. He’d be great at either 👍
Best development is competitive games for 18 to 21 year olds.. the youth team leagues is not.. best to loan them out and have them be at least a regular starter in the role you want, at a club with decent facilities with a manager that has close to similar tactics. That or give them enough 15+ min sub ins in your first team.
@@TheManagersSeat if you can get them about 15 x 15+ minutes in your first team than yes by all means. The reputation of the league is what matters most, on paper and if you look at it from real life perspective than I agree.. game just works different. Nice video though, always good to see a new approach to the game and content
