Do Young Players Height & Weight Change?

[Uncle Adi]

I'm looking at a 17 y/o keeper who's 5'11 and wondered if he can get any taller?

Yeah, it can grow, but usually not to a massive degree. I think I've seen a few cm growth in some players, but not more.

Yes, they do change, @Uncle Adi. Here is Lamine Yamal's grow in terms of height and weight from my FM24 save:

16 yo - 180 cm & 60 kg

17 yo - 184 cm & 67 kg

18 yo - 184 cm & 71 kg

19 yo - 184 cm & 73 kg

20 yo - Same

Thanks buddy. I notice his height stopped growing at 17, I wonder if that's uniform or differs by player?

It's different. I have a newgen name that comes back regularly and I keep an eye on him as he is usually a great player to poach. I have seen between 2 and 5 cm in height gains for that player.

No problem, mate. 👍 No, it depends on the player, as various factors do affect the physical grow. I assume a Machine Learning (ML)-powered decision-making process manages the entire process. Not surprising if that's the case, as ML is now integrated into almost every aspect of our lives, and it seems it will only become more prevalent by time. 🤖
