The Complete How to train/tutor my youngster's Thread

Can someone answer me this?

On my Reading Save I have a bit of an injury crisis and only have four fit defenders, so in order to get any right back I pulled a regen called Matt Fry from my youth team (17 years old). Stats are **** and he only has half a star potential! - basically my *** man says he is miles away from being good enough for Reading.

However at desperation I have put him in the first team and changed his player stats to limit creativity etc. and just to defend basically. I also say 'no pressure' or have 'faith in your ability' before each game.

He has played 5 games with an average rating of 7.12 and even won man of the match once. We haven't been playign that well and have lost to Liverpool and very heavily to Arsenal but he has still done well.

Is it possible therefore to keep going with this guy in the hope that I can turn him into a 3star or 4 star player? Or has he just stepped up and his performances are soon to crash and burn?

You can maybe improve him to 1 or 1.5 stars, but no further, keep playing him to get a bid for him, but don't expect him to step into first team roles permanently and don't develop him accordingly.
 
cheers bud :) thanks to all who helped me put it together as well :)

And how to find good youth coach..
 
is there an age limit to be a tutor and to be tutored and also how long does a player need to be at a club before they can be a tutor or be tutored? thanks.
 
can you add your training schedules? please
I am thinking of uploading them, I will in the next couple of days, I will send you the link :)

not really hey, I have had a 21yr old tutoring a 19yr old before :)

not sure exactly what the rule (programming) is on that to be perfectly honest :)
 
I would like your training schedules aswell if that's ok Raikan. This forum is awesome, I already found some good players now it's time to perfect the training. ^^)
 
Sorry for being a noob but where is the folder to put the downloaded file in for the training schedule? Thanks
 
you either need to make one in...

mydocs/sportsinteractive/fm11/schedules

if you go in your game to the training and schedules, the game automatically generates this folder for you :)
 
Very useful thread, thank you! Must admit, I often overlook the tutoring aspect of the game, though have definitely noticed a difference when you take the plunge and play a youth team player in your first team regularly.
 
yeah, it does mate :) its imperitive in the way how I play and develop youngsters :)

thanks, glad it helped :)
 
Great thread. For me personally I try to do the following.
From. 15-17 I focus on tutoring them. give the younger players a weaker tutor ( allthough one who is still better mentally then the youth player). This will slowly improve and mold their personality. By 18 years old most youth players who have a future with your club should be at least have balanced personalties. This is essential. At 18- 21 I like to send a youngster on loan to a a lower club, however they must meet strict criteria as mentioned previously in this thread. Ensure that they will get games, that the club has a good standard of training facilities and that the club has adequate coaches. Many Lower clubs do not have fitness coaches or GK coaches, bare this in mind.
When you agree to a loan keep track of the player. If his average is around 6.6-7.1. This is optimum. The level is not to hard or easy and his morale will stay high, morale is important to improving attibutes. If the are not playing games, recall them and try and find them a different club. If all goes well, after 6 months you have a decision to make, either recall or let him continue. I always 1st check to see if attributes have improved, if they have then a extra few months on loan could help them. If no improvement can be seen recall them, the training facilities may not be good enough.
If you do recall, this is a prime time to start giving the player a specific training regime to mold them and give them an specific attribute to improve. You should now get your best tutors on him. try and get that determination level up and improve their mentality from balanced to determined, ambitious or proffessional. Also give him 1 or two cameo FT appearances. You should find your players improving at a very resonable rate. You can turn this into a nice production line. I like to have 2 youth players in each position, so that while one is out on loan the other is at the club being tutored. This is great for lower clubs who may only have 1 viable tutor poor finances and a weaker coaching setup.
Most players who are going to be great players will naturally become good players, regardless of what you do, however this process can turn a good player into a more specialised/ moulded player who will be able to overachieve because of personality and a specialist like set of attributes.

I noticed this last night with regards to the Tutor, after the completion of a successful Tutoring programme, the Tutor's Influence stat rises as well... it makes sense! just thought I should share that :)
 
Hey just wondering why sometimes there's no option to ask the players to tutor or to be tutored?I want Jack Robinson to be tutored but there's no such option..

How long have both players been at the club? If one (or both) of them has only just joined, then you will have to wait until he has settled in before he can tutor/be tutored.
