I tracked 4,000 young players through their careers using the app I've developed, which is based on python code, to learn as much as I could about how to find and develop the best newgens and wonderkids in Football Manager.

This video shows you a data-driven approach to rank young players and evaluate whether youth players are on track to reach the top level. I use that information to find players I think make sense to sign and then monitor whether to keep or sell once they are in my squad.

Then there's 5 things you can do to maximise development for young 'pathway' players, as well as whether your club should be doing youth development at all.

FM24 squad building approach:
1. Fix the tactic first then recruit for the tactic
2. Squad grid - 2 per position
3. Sort out the finances
4. Player recruitment: Fill gaps, improve weak links (export attribute data from FM using filters then use python to rank and compare)
