I'm playing as Hull City, currently English champions, it's 2021.
I've been working on establishing great U21 and U18 teams and been hunting regens, using youth intakes, scouting U21 tournaments and teams, agents, etc.
I've been able to get loads of great players - Croatians, Americans, Russians, Belgians, French, Mexican, Argentinians, Brazilians (seriously, so many great Brazilian regnes, it's almost cheating), but as an English team obviously I'd like to have some local players in addition to all those foreigners. And I simply can't find them.
For once, almost every great english young player is already signed by Chelsea/Man U/Man City, etc. Not sure when and how they do that.
But even when I find ones at lower leagues, their prices are ridiculous. I get Huddersfield demanding 64m for a 17 years old!! and every other championship team too. English prices are ridiculously inflated, even for 16-17 years old.
How the **** am I supposed to get great English youngsters?
Don't say 'raise your own' as my own youth intakes have been quite disappointing so far...
