I'd like to recommend you reading this whole thread. I think it might answer some of your questions. Focus on Seb answers because they are most reliable one.

We have summed up what we've gotten from SI in the youth challenge thread first post. As for the HoYD:

Quote

Head of Youth Development (HoYD)
The club’s HoYD is responsible for bringing Newgens into the club. He will influence what “type” of players are selected and can partially or fully pass on his personality to some of these Newgens. The “type” of players selected refers to a player’s position and style, for instance a HoYD with a preferred 4-5-1 formation and a Technical Coaching Style may produce more technically styled midfielders than another HoYD.
The HoYD will also influence the rare “freak” or exceptional Newgens that come through, modifying their ability and style.
This role is filled by the HoYD by default, however if none is employed whichever staff member is set to be responsible for youth development will fill this role.

I know staff have CA/PA stats, I have always wondered if CA on a HOYD matters.
