Football Manager allows players to live out their own fantasy of being the manager of any football team. If, like me, you like not only developing players, but developing players through the club’s academy then below are a few teams where you can prioritise youth development.
Bringing through the next generation of world-class stars is one of Football Manager’s most appealing features – youth development is a journey that takes time to get right. Each year, the FM community spends countless hours improving every part of their youth setup to get the best youth intakes, but it can still be a tricky thing to master. Youth development is a key part of the game for many players. However, because Football Manager is a game in which…
I love youth development and I have a weakness for a good story. What happens when I combine the two? Well, in FM20 ”Santástico” happened. It was a blog/Twitch series managing Santos FC in Brazil, with the aim to create the next Pélé. I absolutely loved the series and I’ve been longing to do something similar in FM21.

Yet the game feels more professional and realistic. Let me explain!

After finishing a respectable 4th place in the league and reaching the Europa league final (but losing to PSG) I made some good additions to the squad including a transfer listed Reuben Loftus-Cheek, Benjamin Henrichs from Monaco and Donny Van de Beek from Ajax. Finding young players in FM19. After the summer we set out on another season in the…
So last year I created a series in which I tried to Ruin English Football, but this time I’m saving English football. I basically created an alternate world in which top teams lost their ability to sign players meaning they relied heavily on their youth in turn creating a quality generation of English talent. However what ended up happening was League One and Two teams became huge and took over and Wigan and Blackburn won everything. If you want to…
