Excellent thread! Although I think I've got the basics down, it's easy to mix it up and confuse yourself ;) It always helps to have it point by point, with pros and cons. I hereby pronounce this thread bookmarked...

Have a look at Red Bull Zalsburg (Austria). Even have good norwegian talent ;) (Haavard Nilsen and Valon Berisha) Good luck with Scotland tonight! Even though you're not supporting them on principal reasons, I'm guessing you wouldn't be sad to see your country win... :D

That is a good point. I would, however, assume that his Tottenham youth coaches have decent JP stats. But this has been a problem for me in lower leagues. It's incredibly annoying to realize you have sold a future world class player, just because your staff can't recognize real talent...

Well, I don't know about the 'higher' standard (I'm Norwegian)... In real life, we'll meet Albania at home in a couple of hours, so we'll see after that ;) But you might be right when it comes to FM. In my experience, Norway and norwegian players have been delightfully overrated since the 2008...

I guess youth recruitment in the London area is pretty competitive bussiness. I'm currently well into a Southampton save, and have similar (excellent) youth recruitment, facilities and coaches. They produce a couple of 3-4,5 star PA players each year. I suppose it's because there's no real...

As Scotty says, it depends on what kind of players you have. Personally, I like to use a medium to high defensive line, and put pressure on opponents at all time. To do this though, your defenders need good stats in pace/acceleration, positioning, work rate, stamina and aggression. For using...

How about Stromsgodset in Norway? I've never tried, but IRL they have a decent young squad on their way up, and probably decent facilities and economy (for norwegian league) They also have a farmer/development agreement with Man City, wich allows you to get good talent on loan when needed...

Even more epic: having a teamwork rate at 19, with stamina, strength, agility, acceleration and pace at 1

Bet he can't wait... lol

It's ok to continue the game by going on holiday, but this bug should be fixed. I've missed out on a couple of really talented players because of this, and bugs like these take away the joy of squadbuilding.

I've had the same thing happen twice. Only way to continue the game, is to go on holiday for a day or to quit the talks. Anyway, you can't get the player. Very, very, very annoying...

I've had the same problem twice, with french youth players. There is no explanation, other than "wait for your offer to be rejected/accepted". THEY HAVE ACCEPTED MY OFFER! This has to be a bug. Only way to continue the game, is to quit the talks and forget about the player. Really, really...

Like Pezman123 says, it's about 5mill, but the board will add more money if you do well by November. I think I was 8th or 9th in the league, and they gave me 20mill. I even lost my first Capital One Cup match (did not meet board expectations), but they gave me money anyway ;)

I find exploiting wing backs quite easy, if they are (as they should be) attacking, and they (the opposition) play without wingers. Same as you, I prefer fast players. Of course, especially wingers. As you say, your attacking wingers (or IFs) should man mark and close down on the whole pitch. I...

Simão looks great. Do you know if he will get a work permit?
