So here's a few of my current regens a few seasons in, all working well to build a young and talented team (last season, won Bundesliga and Champions League with a team of an average age of just under 22 years).
So here they are (in non-chronological order):
Mauricio Salazar
A freaking beast in defense, got him for free at the end of his contract after my scout was salivating over his potential.
Giovanni Ramirez
Amazing fast striker, scores some incredible goal and only backup because I have someone even better than him.
Also free after his contract ended.
Luciano Nascimento Carvalho
Scout found him when he was 17, but he didn't want to join (and I wouldn't have been able to afford the transfer fee anyway).
Loaned him for a season to convince him otherwise and signed him at the end of his contract from Lyon.
Haris Durakovic
Great attacking midfielder and BH national team captain, although a tad inconsistent and he gets injured a bit too often.
Also free signing (see a pattern here...?)
Anton Kalimulin
The creative force in my midfield. Doesn't score much but has a hand in the majority of the goals we score.
Scout found him early on when he was 16 and un-jaded so I signed him.
Joined my team when he turned 18 from Russian team KamAZ for a staggering fee of 7000 Euro....talk about a bargain.
Sebastian Benitez
My most expensive signing up to that point at 1.5 Million Euro (plus some sell-on clauses) when he arrived in 2015.
Needed a strong wingback at the time and he more than exceeded my expectations.
The way I use my wingbacks he also scores a lot of goals (for a defender).
Ifeanyi Enyeama
I had some injury troubles at the time and needed a target man, so when my scout found this Nigerian striker I didn't think twice about paying the Saudi club he was playing for 6.5 Million to get him.
First season I thought him a bust but since then he has adapted to my playing style and now scores some truly amazing goals.
(To be honest, I found him first a few seasons earlier when he was still playing in Africa but didn't sign him because his hair freaked me out.)
And now my pride and joy:
Nils Rahn 8-|
Total fluke regen, he came through my own youth system in the second season - never had anyone even remotely close to his skill coming through my own ranks before.
Became instant first team player, wonderkid at 17, National Team debut at 18 (scored twice in his debut), club legend at 19, National Team captain at 20, and I had to swat away every major team with a stick to not lure him away in the early days (and recently I declined a Barca bid for 120 Million).
Hands down the best regen I ever had - I mean, just look at his last 5 games stats....
Honorable mentions:
Here are some current youth players that look quite promising, but it's too early to tell if they will work out - I had my fair share of promising talent that just never developed to expectations and had to go.
Although I'm pretty sure that Wolter will run them all into the ground eventually.....
It's truly amazing how players can turn out with a high determination...
