A player’s development is an inexact science but there are plenty of ways you can improve your chances of helping their progress:
- Improved coaching staff
The better the coach, the more impactful their attributes are on improving a player. In general, the better the coaching attribute, the more effective it is on the player’s attribute development.
- Improved training facilities
The standard of training facilities has an impact on determining the chances of a player’s attributes developing, how close to their potential they can get, and how likely they are to continue developing overall. Better facilities encourage a greater chance of a player realising their true potential.. It can also have the knock-on effect of helping the coaching staff develop, too.
- Playing time
A player with greater exposure to meaningful playing time will develop better than someone who isn’t playing quite as often. Playing first-team minutes is more valuable than playing reserve or youth team football, and a young player who stagnates from their teenage years into their 20s without starting to play regular football stands a higher chance of not being able to reach their potential.
- Training
A player develops most through day-to-day training; their overall development is affected by the quality of the facilities and coaches, the teammates they are training with, the appropriateness of the schedules given, whether they train with the first team or any of the club’s sub-teams, and whether they are tasked with additional individual work outside of the team’s sessions. The more of these that are met to as high a standard as possible, the quicker a player develops towards full potential.
- Mentoring
Young players can develop by working closely, during training, with a more experienced teammate or teammates within their squad. Their mental attributes and Player Traits are the only areas affected, and the entire concept is detailed more in the Training section of the manual.

I've improved the youth training and youth recruitment twice, got promoted from the German 3. Liga to Bundesliga 2, got a reputation increase and my youth players have gotten worse
That coupled with the useless B-Team where players don't actually play any games, and players not actually developing on loans. It's really messed up.
As I believe, up to 18yo you need good training on the players. My U19 teams has been doing really well, but I have struggled to get decent U19 staff. Still, not the worse. But players don't really improve much. Small increments. If I get a 2,5 star player, I'm lucky. It's actually funny. I have 3 or 4 scotish players at my german team. I signed them for free at different times and can't actually "sign" them before they turn 17 or 18 or something like that. They are now "on trial". One has been there for a year and is improving better than the ones actually on the team. He is actually the best U19 I have ATM with 2.5 stars. Go figure.
My B-Team is at some none league and they don't actually have any games, so sending players to the B-Team is totally useless, unless you want to bury them. It's complete rubbish.
I can't even sign staff. I can, but I can't post adds for it... weird.
Loans really aren't that interesting either. I am now at the German Bundesliga 2, after being promoted from the 3.Liga. The 3 Liga is actually quite competitive and when I was there I promoted a few youngsters, including a 17yo CB to the first team and he just took off from there and became my first choice until I sold him at 18 (he was that good that I just couldn't hold hem). He has been named in the top 50 promising players in the world (and that was just one example).
However, if I now loan players to the German 3. Liga, it's useless. It's almost like they aren't playing at all, even if they are regularly doing so. I also try to pick teams with decent training facilities and set as much game time as possible. Still not that great. I haven't had a single loan that ended up with me saying "that was totally worth it".
So, how come I had players evolving nicely when I was at the 3.Liga and now if I loan players to the 3.Liga they just don't evolve at all?
From the experiences I've had, I think it's better to leave them at the U19 as much as possible and them move them to the first team for the odd game.
If I am able to get my youngsters game time on my first team, it's gold. Even as little as 10 games or just coming off the bench late in the game. But I can't accommodate them all.
B-Team and U19 staff are really hard to get with decent stats. Even if by now my team has been doing quite well (got promoted from the 3.Liga and I might have a shot at promotion to the top tier and having a really ridiculously young team and moving players from the youth ranks. I would figure that a team doing this would get a real hype and be able to sign better youth staff.
Also, team reputation is very important. I started at the 3.Liga and when I was promoted got a small reputation bump. Next season everyone expected me to go down but I managed to stay comfortably in the top half. I am now doing quite well (don't want to jinx it, but I have a good shot at promotion, injuries permitting). Let's see how reputation goes.
There are 2 problems:
How to clear debt fast?
How to improve academies faster so i can get wonderkids from inside of my club/academy?
You can't. That is something that the board does on its own. The only influence you kinda have is to decrease the revenue from transfers and sell players.
How to improve academies faster so i can get wonderkids from inside of my club/academy?
The board is more likely to agree to develop youth recruitment when it matches the club philosophy (develop players through youth system or something like that). Just be pestering about it and ask for it whenever you can.
