Training Youth Players From Age 18-21


Recommended Posts

In previous editions, i used to buy players at 18 or younger, train them for 3 years at the club and make them home grown. 

But it seems random now. Bought a few 18 year olds, selected the "home grown status" tab on the squad screen. 

Some of them will be home grown in 3 years, while some have no status listed at all. Has there been an update to the rules or is it just a bug? Thanks in advance!

It depends on when they turn 21. To be home grown, they have to have spent 3 seasons at the club by the time of their 21st birthday. Therefore, you'd have to buy a player at 17 years old, and have them at the club for the entire 3 years, in order for them to qualify for home grown status. If they're 18.5 years old, they're going to hit 21 before they've spent a full 3 seasons with you, and they won't be able to be home grown.

technically their 18th birthday would work too
but 18 years and 1 day would see them miss out

it's kind of selective breeding - if they're from overseas, then they must be decent, and have their 18th birthday in a transfer window... otherwise not eligible for HG status
