Developing youngsters

[Jon25]

Hi all, what's the best way to go about developing youngsters into world class players? Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks in advance

heavy training schedules in either fullback, central defender, goalkeeper, box to box midfielder, inside forward, complete forward and not sure for amc, perhaps just amc their. decent class of coaching staff (close to 5 star training regime you can get) try to get the best training facilities (or loan the youngster out to a club that has top training facilities if you do not). If the player is 16-17, let them have 5-10 minutes of game time on the pitch every now and again, if the player is 17-19, let them have up to 20 minutes of game time. The reason for this is because you do not want them to "burn out" as in, peak too soon and their stats drop prematurely.

Train them in their weaknesses or on a general role schedule so that they focus on a number of attributes. Get them playing time by either loaning them out or letting them play in your first team. Get your experienced players to tutor them to help in mental development and personality.

I signed all the best possible free coaches at the start of the game (most of them have high stats for working with youngsters) and trained them to what best role suits them for example Will Hughes I believe plays best at deep lying playmaker or box to box midfielder, do this for every youngster.
also what I found helped A LOT was having your older players with great ratings tutor your youngsters. I had Steven Gerrard tutor Jordan Rossiter, Rossiter is now 19 years old and his stats are incredible.

general rule of thumb i use, for DM/CM - CM - CM/AM youngsters.. put those players on "box to box midfielder" training because it covers a vast array of stats an then they can pretty much play in a defensive, support, attack or playmaker role when they mature ^^.

Age 16 = Backup. About 600-1000 minutes playtime in the season. (No starts)
Age 17 = Rotation. 8> starts and 15> off the bench.
Age 18 = Sporadic first team. 20> starts. 10< off the bench
Age 19 = Boss.


I use that for most of my youngsters. As for training, just follow logic and find out what you want to do with the regen.

My best advice is the pretty obvious playing time, give the youngsters a chance.
Guys, do they not complain (be unhappy) if you give them heavy training schedules? I'm often put off when I see that they are unhappy at them.

I played Keita regularly from the go, often full 90 minutes, when he was 18 and he doesn't seem to have been burn out, in fact he's a beast lol!
