Nurterer

[danielorourke]

I don’t seem to be able to unlock the nurturer achievement, I figured I would have to develop young talent, I’ve developed some now into their 30’s that are worth 80-120m. My squad has 15 players from my youth team out of 28 in the first team. Various ages…

there is no description on how to unlock but I figured by doing the above that would be what’s required. A few of them even have World Cup medals now as England won it.
 

what are the criteria to unlock this one please?

How many of those young players were signed from other clubs and how many have been developed through your own youth intake? Without giving too much away you essentially need to focus on both signing young players from other clubs and also promoting young players through the Development Hub to unlock Nurturer.

Only 2 of my squad were from a transfer over the age of 18. The 15 of them mentioned above are all from the youth team,  I have more in the reserves amongst the backup players. I also have 11 foreign players that were signed young. Would like to stay homegrown but can’t really build a squad solely from the youth team unless you get  extremely lucky, I’m still struggling for defenders after 15 seasons and will have to buy some in again. Only place I could be lacking is players from other English clubs but there has been a few of those as well.

not sure what I could possibly be missing, I played these from championship manager 93/94, I still remember Blackburn having the colossal transfer budget of 16m… haha. Played right through to fm2009 so I’m familiar with most aspects.
 

the algorithm definitely tilts too far towards morale management for a performance these days. I guess fergie had old workhorse fletcher and some others playing above their level and I know it should make a difference in performance but you can smash premiership teams from league 1 without save scumming if you have a happy squad and get too many unrealistic cup runs.
Example. I went to the 5th round of the fa cup with Salisbury whilst in the VNS and had a bunch of free transfers and rubbish semi professionals with the mammoth 3k per week wage budget. Now winning everything with them including the champions league for 4 years in a row and I’m only 17 years in. That wouldn’t have been possible in the older versions, the only season I failed promotion was the VNL, I finished 2nd with 104 points and lost in the playoffs but got promoted the following season. 
 

is it just the mobile version that’s been made easier and tilted towards the users enjoyment or is the desktop version the same these days? It’s got a bit too easy… you don’t seem to lose finals anymore. 

venturing further away from the original topic, I’m a crap forum user  lol… sorry

not sure what challenge to do next? Might try a survival specialist run as when I build my own team it ends up as “invincibles” and it’s getting a bit tedious but any other suggestions?

That ended up much longer than expected, I need to get outside more again I think lol

Would you mind emailing me your save game is you're finding it 'that' easy I'd be interested in taking a look at your save (marc.vaughan@sigames.com) - thanks

How do I do this from the Netflix mobile version?

If you want to check for save scumming then I don’t do that. I may got in a few unhappy South Americans in the second season and sold them on at a profit so that I could build the facilities but other than that I don’t have the editor or rich benefactor active. 
Loss rate was 23% and I think draws were 14% before being established in the premier league but I think in the last 5 seasons I have only lost about 6 games and that’s including cups. 

all you have to do in the mobile version is make sure that your players that have a positive effect on the dressing room are within the 5 captain slots and not worry about the leadership stat itself. As long as they have positive effects on work rate, professionalism, determination, morale and loyalty then you’re golden.

if you have influential players or team leaders with negative team effects then that’s going to destroy the results of even the best team. You can manage this by demoting the player with a negative effect to reserves every time he becomes influential again but eventually he’ll ask to leave even if just in a rotation for squad status. 
 

the finances in the mobile version seem to be way over the top as well, I don’t spend much but now have a wage budget of 26m per week, I only use 5.4m per week of it but until the last 2 seasons it’s been below 2m. 
 

if you let me know how to send from the mobile version then I’ll do it. I don’t see a forwarding option
