Of course, it is extremely rare to win the jackpot, and you will have lots of tickets that win no prize. Some will be like the 4 ball prize ( can be squad players, but you will probably sell for a small fee ), some like 5 balls ( squad players ), 5 and a bonus ball ( first-team regular ), and some like the jackpot ( world-class players who can sign for any team in the game ). Some tickets will win a tenner ( products that won't make it at your club, but you can sell on to lower clubs with a sell-on clause for future cash ). Most tickets will not win a prize ( the players who have no chance of making it ).

You can win many prizes on the lottery, from 3 numbers to the jackpot. I take their idea further, however, so it is my own. The best analogy I have seen I read on the SI forum years ago (I can't find the post, so I can't find who to credit ), where you think of producing players in the same way as winning a prize on the lottery. The facilities, recruitment and junior coaching are no guarantees of producing talent, as most of you have found out. You can max out the junior coaching at Vanerama National level and produce players good enough for 2 or 3 levels above, maybe even the odd player good enough to be a decent prem player. If you want to create and develop your own players in Football Manager, then get at your boardroom every chance you get and get as high a youth level as you can get and improve your youth facilities and training facilities as much as possible.ĭon't forget youth recruitment level and junior coaching this is very important.

This is the most obvious thing to do, and I would say 99% of players do this already, but it is worth mentioning because it is so important.not on its own, but in combination with the other factors you will read in this guide. So what do I do to achieve this? Read ahead and find out. Of those 15 players, 11 have been brought in through my youth intakes, and I have developed them into first-team squad players in fact, two of them have the label 'wonderkid'. I just finished 6th in the Premier League in my Chester game, and of my current squad of 29, 15 of my players have been trained at the club. I have continually been asked recently on the forums I use and on Facebook is how I am so successful at developing my youth intake players into first-team regulars.
