I started this project for myself because I never understood the values from the national youth rating in fm. So I decided to do some research and set new values which are important in my opinion.
I was really pleased with the result during long-term saves in FM19 and FM20.
The feedback for the file in FM20 was quite good and I enjoyed the work on it to try to make FM even more realistic (IMO)
Maybe some of you have as much fun as I do with the file!
What can you expect from the files:
- Less newgens with worldclass talent
- More worldwide diversification of talent
- Easier to improve smaller nations where football is popular in longterm-saves
My ratings is based among other things:
- HDI (Human Development Index)
- Population of a Country
- How popular football is in the country
- Worldwide success national team
- Continental success national team
- Success U-natioal team
- Which Confederation they are in (ex. UEFA, CONCACAF)
- Value National Team
- Record attendance National Team
- Average league attendance from top league (as far as I could find them)
It generally gives more power to several Nations and reduces the current dominace of some.
I made a long-term test to see how accurate the talent pool will be. I am really pleased with the result. Please keep in mind that not only the youth rating influences the chances of wonderkids. This file gives you in my opinion the chance to a balanced world where you can find and develop talents all over the world.
Please keep in mind. FM21 has just arrived. I haven't done longterm-tests yet. But it should work without any issues.
