Popular Post Kelron Posted March 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2023 Hi, I think this counts as an experiment? Might be of interest here. https://kelron1.github.io/FMScouting/index.html I've simulated the first youth intake multiple times with different database setups to build a picture of which countries are likely to be worth scouting. The link has an interactive list and map to filter the results for different potentials and player values. This shows how many players were produced in each nation (where they generated, not nationality), on average, for the first intake of the save. The first intake is larger than subsequent years so don't expect to find the same numbers every year, they're for comparison. Reason for using this method was to minimise dynamic changes such as nation youth rating, club facilities, and to maximise the number of players in the dataset. I've done some more limited tests deeper into saves and it doesn't seem like the relative numbers for each nation change much as a % of total intakes, but exact numbers will vary year to year and it's hard to predict where the highest potential players appear. Default view for the maps show countries that produced 150+ potential players in a database with 1 playable league (Iceland) and all players loaded through advanced setup options. The filters let you adjust what you want to see and pick a setup that's closer to your own save, if you're interested. I'd like to run a sim with all leagues/players loaded at some point but it takes a long time. I'm curious if anyone has insight into how the game decides where to generate new players. I can see it's heavily linked to the starting database but doesn't seem to preserve the ratio of nationalities or players based in nation. My assumption is it knows where the real players in the database began their careers and tries to preserve the numbers from those nations, but as I can't export that from the game I haven't been able to verify it. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libbyshuss Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This is really interesting for those of us doing the youth only challenge as well, thank you! Spent a good hour or so trawling through it, there's some fascinating little insights in there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
