wazza Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is it just me or is there a distinct lack of wonderkids in this version of the game than others. Im in my 6th season in the Premiership and have Top Youth Facilities, Excelent Junior coaching and above average youth recruitment. Yet none of my youngsters are described as 'wonderkids', they all come out with a value between 1.8mill to 3.6mill with a national reputation. Im sure in previous versions with the same set up I produced a few after 5 seasons at a club. The other question is how can you improve your youth recruitment, when I talk to the board they only tell me I can cut back the funds in this area yet its only above average, there isnt an option to increase funds.

Herbert Fandel Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I thought wonderkid was partly reputation based, and that a player could only be a wonderkid once he had played a certain amount of first team games at a young age. I'm not sure I have ever seen one who hasn't played a couple of months of first team football before, but of course I that doesn't mean no-one else has.

In previous versions Im sure I had youngsters described as a wonderkid prior to me playing him in the first team as that was the reason I picked him and started to bed him into the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I've not produced any wonderkid regens from my own youth team yet but have signed plenty of youngsters who have gone on to become a wonderkid at my club. Currently have about 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 More reputation based than before I believe... Doesn't mean they don't have the talent, just don't have the gametime and reputation as of yet... the way it should be really.. Players shouldn't be recognised and lauded before they've kicked a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players shouldn't be recognised and lauded before they've kicked a ball. Maybe its time I took a different approach in FM13 then, instead of sending these 3.3million 19 year olds out on loan, I'll start to bed them into the team to see how they develop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Wonderkid status is purely about player's current ability compared to age, e.g. if player is 19 and has a CA of, idk, 140+, he gets the wonderkid status. Something like that, not sure about the numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbert Fandel Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I suppose I could have mistaken their first team football giving them CA boost for it giving them rep boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauladams84 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 About the facilities.... you have probably upgraded or asked for it before.... normally takes a month or so for it to pop up again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
