play00:05

kids I recognize my work being used in

play00:07

it straight away

play00:08

I chose not to respond to it at the time

play00:10

because I didn't want to create any

play00:12

dramas on YouTube least of all with a

play00:14

YouTuber that I've liked and admired for

a long time

play00:18

if anyone tells you that the tests and

play00:20

play00:25

it's just not true

play00:26

I can easily prove that my work is my

play00:29

own work but I'm not going to because I

play00:32

believe my videos speak for themselves

play00:34

regarding their authenticity

I did not receive any testing results

play00:39

from any third party for the purpose of

play00:41

making my videos I don't know this Steve

I've never asked anyone to provide me

play00:50

with some test results that that I could

play00:52

pass off as my own work in my videos

play00:54

I've never paid anyone or any website to

play00:57

do any testing for me all the tests and

play02:13

[Music]

play02:25

g'day everyone Max here from

play02:27

evidence-based Football manager this

play02:29

video is not part of my training

play02:31

analysis series because today I'm

play02:33

talking about something else

play02:34

the topic for today's video is youth

play02:37

intake every season in football manager

play02:39

usually around March or April you get a

play02:42

fresh crop of youngsters who join your

play02:44

Club

play02:45

and a few months before that are usually

play02:47

around December every year your head of

play02:49

Youth Development gives you a quick

play02:51

preview about the overall quality of the

play02:54

youth intake that that you'll be getting

play02:55

that season sometimes your head of Youth

play02:58

will tell you that you're getting an

play03:00

excellent youth intake which is the

play03:02

sexiest message that you can get playing

play03:04

football manager and sometimes you'll

play03:06

tell you that you're getting a crappy

play03:08

youth intake which just ruins your mood

play03:10

for the whole day

play03:11

so how do you maximize your chances of

play03:14

getting a high quality youth intake

play03:16

every season that's the question I'll be

play03:18

investigating in this video today

play03:21

for today's experiments I'm using AZ

play03:23

alkma which is one of the clubs in the

play03:25

Dutch eredivisi

play03:27

actually it doesn't really matter which

play03:29

club I use for these tests since I'll be

play03:31

changing the variables around anyway I

play03:33

just chose a Dutch glove because the

play03:35

area is easy in real life is famous for

play03:38

nurturing it nurturing and bringing up

play03:40

young footballers so it kind of fits the

play03:43

theme for the experiment that I'm doing

play03:44

today

play03:46

I want to clarify two terms that I'll be

play03:48

using in today's video youth intake

play03:51

preview or simply youth preview is the

play03:54

event that takes place in December every

play03:56

season where your head of Youth

play03:58

Development gives you a preview on the

play04:00

upcoming youth intake

play04:02

for AZ alkma youth preview happens on

play04:05

the 24th of December every year although

play04:08

I can't say for sure whether our youth

play04:10

previews happen on the same date for

play04:12

every other club in the game

play04:14

youth intake announcement or simply

play04:17

youth announcement is the event when the

play04:19

youngsters actually arrive at the club

play04:21

for your assessment the date when youth

play04:24

announcement happens is a bit more

play04:27

unpredictable

play04:28

whenever I changed a variable of AZ

play04:31

alkma and uh and when I made a separate

play04:34

save file youth announcement for AZ

play04:37

alphama triggered on different dates

play04:39

sometime between late March to early

play04:41

April

play04:42

for most clubs in Europe youth

play04:44

announcements happen on a day on a

play04:47

random day between March and April

play04:49

you can check the youth announcement

play04:51

dates for any club that's loaded in your

play04:54

safe by going into this part here and

play04:57

you go to world you click transfers and

play05:01

you change this bit to youth intake and

play05:05

yeah right here you can see the youth

play05:07

announcement dates for every single Club

play05:09

that's currently loaded in your save

play05:11

fire

play05:13

I've identified some variables in the

play05:16

game that may or may not have an impact

play05:18

on the quality of your youth intake

play05:20

those variables are youth facilities

play05:22

Junior coaching youth recruitment

play05:26

and if you go to the page for your

play05:28

club's home nation you can see the

play05:31

nation's youth rating which I also

play05:32

believe affects the quality of the youth

play05:35

and finally if you take a look at your

play05:37

head of Youth Development the attributes

play05:41

of your head of Youth may also affect

play05:42

the quality of your youth intake

play05:45

I started today's experiments by setting

play05:47

these variables of AZ altma to their

play05:49

middle values so youth facilities Junior

play05:53

coaching and youth rating youth

play05:55

recruitment works at as 10 out of 20.

play05:58

and uh the if I go to the hop the page

play06:01

for Holland uh Holland's youth rating

play06:04

was set as 100 out of 200.

play06:07

if I go to uh the head of Youth

play06:10

Development yeah all these attributes

play06:12

were set as 10 out of 20.

play06:17

the first experiment was to see what

play06:19

happens when you change one of these

play06:21

variables on the day before the youth

play06:24

intake announcement

play06:26

I set up a save file with Az altma where

play06:30

I know youth announcement happens on the

play06:32

9th of April so I saved the game on the

play06:35

8th of April which is one day before the

play06:38

youth announcement

play06:40

first I needed to establish the control

play06:42

so um I progressed the game for one day

play06:44

through the 9th of April after the youth

play06:47

announcement has taken place and I

play06:49

recorded the attributes of the youth

play06:51

candidates who have just arrived at the

play06:53

club

play06:55

five types of player attributes were

play06:57

recorded for these tests CA ratings PA

play07:01

ratings professionalism ambition and

play07:04

determination

play07:05

I repeated the exact same process 20

play07:08

times to build up a sample pool for the

play07:10

control group

play07:12

I'll show you the results for the

play07:13

control yeah so the average CA ratings

play07:16

of the youth intake was 47.7 the average

play07:21

PA rating was

play07:23

87.8 average professionalism was 11.4

play07:27

our average ambition was 8.8 and average

play07:31

determination was 9.6

play07:35

once I established the control I tried

play07:38

changing one of these variables either

play07:40

to their maximum or minimum values and I

play07:43

repeated the same experiment process

play07:45

for example uh in this part here you can

play07:48

see I've changed the working with

play07:51

youngster attribute of the head of Youth

play07:53

Development to one out of 20. and here

play07:56

the working with youngster attribute was

play07:58

changed to 20 out of 20.

play08:01

and let's go through the results

play08:03

together

play08:04

I've turned all these results into a

play08:06

series of bar graphs

play08:08

now in order to make the conclusion that

play08:10

a variable in the game has an impact on

play08:13

the quality of the youth intake I want

play08:15

to see a nice three-step increment in

play08:18

these bar graphs

play08:20

when the variable is set as its minimum

play08:23

value like 1 out of 20 the bar should be

play08:26

the small the height of the bar should

play08:27

be the smallest and when the variable is

play08:29

set at its maximum value like 20 out of

play08:32

20. the height of the bar should be the

play08:35

tallest I want to see a clear three-step

play08:38

positive uptrend in in these bar graphs

play08:41

before I make the conclusion that there

play08:44

is a correlated relationship between a

play08:46

variable and the quality of the youth

play08:48

intake

play08:50

let's take a look at this first graph

play08:52

here which shows you the relationship

play08:54

between the attributes of the head of

play08:56

Youth Development and the players CA

play08:59

ratings and Pa ratings

play09:01

the head of Youth attributes that I

play09:03

tested here include the working with

play09:06

young star attribute judging player

play09:08

ability judging player potential

play09:10

professionalism ambition determination

play09:13

and also the reputation of the head of

play09:16

Youth Development

play09:18

so I don't think I'm seeing any obvious

play09:21

three-step increments from these bar

play09:23

graphs I know there's a little bit of

play09:25

fluctuations in in the height of these

play09:27

bars but a little bit of fluctuation

play09:30

here and there can be attributed to

play09:31

random statistical noise

play09:34

so from these results it seems that the

play09:37

act the various attributes of the head

play09:39

of Youth have no impact on the ca

play09:42

ratings and the PA ratings of your youth

play09:44

intake

play09:45

[Music]

play09:46

let's take a look at this second graph

play09:49

here which shows you the relationship

play09:50

between the head of Youth attributes and

play09:53

the players professionalism ambition and

play09:55

determination

play09:57

I think I am noticing something here

play09:58

take a look at these bars here that show

play10:01

you the relationship between

play10:02

professionalism ambition and

play10:04

determination of the head of Youth and

play10:06

the same attributes of the youth intake

play10:09

when professionalism ambition and

play10:11

determination pad for short of the head

play10:15

of Youth were set as one out of 20. the

play10:19

youth intakes professionalism was 10

play10:21

10.6 on average and their ambition was

play10:25

7.8 on average whereas when the head of

play10:28

Youth PID attributes were set as 20 out

play10:31

of 20. the youth intakes professionalism

play10:34

was 12.8 on average and their ambition

play10:37

was 9.9 on average so you can see a

play10:40

correlation between the professionalism

play10:43

of the head of Youth and the

play10:44

professionalism of the youth intake and

play10:46

also between the ambition of the head of

play10:49

Youth and the ambition of the youth

play10:50

intake

play10:51

[Music]

play10:53

correlation was not observed for the

play10:55

determination attribute

play10:58

now let's take a look at some Club

play11:00

related variables and their impacts on

play11:03

the quality of the youth intake the

play11:05

variables that I tested include youth

play11:08

training facilities Junior coaching

play11:10

youth Recruitment and the youth rating

play11:13

of Holland again I've prepared uh two

play11:16

graphs here the first graph here shows

play11:18

you the impact on the player's CA and Pa

play11:22

ratings and the second graph here shows

play11:25

you the impact on the players

play11:27

professionalism ambition and

play11:29

determination

play11:31

if you take a look at this graph here I

play11:33

can spot some nice three-step increments

play11:36

first of all uh right here you can see

play11:39

that there's a correlation between the

play11:41

club's youth training facilities and the

play11:44

players CA ratings

play11:46

when when the level of youth training

play11:48

facilities of AZ alkma was set as 1 out

play11:51

of 20. the youth intake had an average

play11:54

CA rating of 40.2

play11:57

whereas when youth facilities was set as

play12:00

20 out of 20 the youth intake had an

play12:02

average CA rating of 49.8

play12:05

so the level of youth training

play12:07

facilities of your Club will have an

play12:09

impact on the starting CA rating of your

play12:12

youth intake

play12:14

let's take a look at Junior coaching

play12:16

look at that now we're talking

play12:19

there is a clear positive correlation

play12:21

between the level of Junior coaching of

play12:23

your club and the ca ratings of your

play12:26

youth intake as well as their pa ratings

play12:28

I won't read these values out to you one

play12:31

by one because I reckon the correlation

play12:33

here is pretty clear

play12:34

high level of Junior coaching of your

play12:37

Club will improve the ca ratings and the

play12:40

PA ratings of your youth intake

play12:44

with youth recruitment um I don't think

play12:47

I'm seeing anything here these bars are

play12:50

more or less the same height which means

play12:53

no clear link between the level of Youth

play12:56

recruitment of your club and the quality

play12:58

of the youth intake

play13:01

if you take a look at the youth ratings

play13:02

of Holland you can see that uh there's a

play13:05

clear correlation with the PA ratings of

play13:07

the youth intake

play13:09

as I change the youth rating of Holland

play13:11

from 1 out of 200 to 200 out of 200 the

play13:15

PA ratings of the youth intake also went

play13:18

up

play13:19

youth rating of your club's home nation

play13:22

isn't something that's really within

play13:23

your controller I don't know exactly how

play13:26

youth rating Works in fm23 I I think I

play13:29

think a few years back uh youth rating

play13:31

used to be like fixed values for all

play13:33

invasions in the game but uh I think now

play13:36

they can change as you progress through

play13:38

your saves maybe depending on the

play13:40

performance of your nation in

play13:42

international competitions like the

play13:44

world cup or the Euro if I'm not

play13:45

mistaken anyway the test that I've done

play13:48

here proves that high National Youth

play13:51

rating leads to a high PA ratings of the

play13:54

youth intake but not their CA ratings

play13:58

let's take a look at this graph here

play14:00

which shows you the relationship between

play14:02

the club related variables and the PID

play14:05

attributes of the youth intake

play14:08

all right so I don't think I'm noticing

play14:10

any clear three-step increments from

play14:12

These Bars maybe here if you take a look

play14:16

at these Gray colored bars there could

play14:19

be a bit of correlation between junior

play14:21

coaching and the determination of the

play14:23

youth intake

play14:24

when Junior coaching of AZ altma was set

play14:27

as 1 out of 20 the youth intake had an

play14:30

average determination of 9.1 whereas

play14:33

when Junior coaching was set as 20 out

play14:35

of 20 the youth intake had an average

play14:37

determination of 10.2

play14:40

it's not a very strong correlation

play14:42

though

play14:43

maybe what we're seeing here is just uh

play14:46

just due to the fact that Junior

play14:48

coaching has an impact on their CA

play14:51

ratings of players remember from the

play14:54

previous graph that Junior coaching of

play14:56

your Club affects the ca ratings of your

play14:59

youth intake

play15:00

and since determination is a is a player

play15:03

attribute that is part of the ca rating

play15:06

it makes sense that if the ca ratings of

play15:09

the youth go up determination will also

play15:11

go up in tandem

play15:14

apart from determination though I don't

play15:17

think I'm noticing any uh anything

play15:19

interesting from any of these other

play15:21

variables in this graph

play15:23

so the conclusion that I have to draw at

play15:25

this point is that all these Club

play15:27

related variables apart from Junior

play15:29

coaching do not have an impact on the

play15:33

PID attributes of the youth intake

play15:37

so far I've found that the attributes of

play15:40

the head of Youth Development and the

play15:42

level of Youth recruitment of your Club

play15:44

don't affect the ca ratings and the PA

play15:47

ratings of your youth intake when those

play15:50

variables were changed just before the

play15:53

youth announcement event so I thought

play15:55

what if you change those variables all

play15:58

the way back in December before the

play16:00

youth preview event

play16:02

to answer this question I conducted

play16:04

another set of experiments where the

play16:06

variables were changed just before the

play16:08

youth preview

play16:10

for AZ alkma youth preview happens on

play16:13

the 24th of December I made a save file

play16:16

on the 23rd of December one day before

play16:19

the youth preview I changed the

play16:21

variables on the 23rd of December then I

play16:24

Pro then I progressed the game until

play16:27

April the year after after the youth

play16:30

announcement event has taken place then

play16:33

I recorded the ca ratings and the PA

play16:35

ratings of the youth intake

play16:37

you might ask why don't I just progress

play16:40

the game for one day uh until uh to the

play16:43

24th of December and record the preview

play16:46

that's given by the head of Youth

play16:48

Development

play16:49

the main reason is that at youth intake

play16:51

previews the amount of information

play16:53

that's given by your head of Youth is

play16:55

very limited like he might tell you that

play16:57

you're getting a good quality intake

play16:59

That season with two players rated C but

play17:03

that's way not enough detail for me to

play17:05

make an accurate assessment on the exact

play17:08

quality of the youth intake I need to

play17:10

look at the ca ratings and the PA

play17:12

ratings of the youth before I can say

play17:15

for sure whether there is a link between

play17:17

a variable in the game and the quality

play17:20

of the youth intake

play17:21

so because of this in these tests the

play17:24

variables were changed before the youth

play17:27

preview in December but the outcome of

play17:29

those changes were only measured uh in

play17:32

April the year after when the youth

play17:34

candidates actually arrived at the club

play17:37

and let's take a look at the results

play17:39

again I have a series of bar graphs here

play17:42

that show you the relationship between

play17:43

these variables and the youth Intex CA

play17:48

ratings and Pa ratings just like before

play17:51

I'm looking for a well-defined

play17:53

three-step positive uptrend before I can

play17:56

draw a link between a variable and the

play17:59

quality of the youth intake

play18:02

so I don't think I'm seeing any

play18:04

three-step increments anyway but I am

play18:07

noticing something interesting right

play18:08

here in the control group when youth

play18:12

recruitment of AZ alkma was set as 10

play18:15

out of 20 the average PA ratings of the

play18:18

youth was 90.2

play18:20

but when youth recruitment was changed

play18:24

to 20 out of 20 the PA rating jumped to

play18:27

97.9 which is a pretty significant jump

play18:31

that that I don't think it can be

play18:34

attributed just to random statistical

play18:36

noise

play18:37

it seems that a high level of Youth

play18:39

recruitment above 10 out of 20 will

play18:42

raise the PA ratings of your players if

play18:45

the level of Youth recruitment is

play18:46

changed before the youth preview event

play18:49

in December remember from the previous

play18:51

experiment that changing the level of

play18:54

use recruitment in April just before the

play18:57

youth announcement event had no bearing

play19:00

on the quality of the youth intake

play19:02

uh but changing the level of Youth

play19:05

recruitment before the youth preview

play19:08

event in December does seem to have an

play19:11

impact on the PA ratings of the youth

play19:13

intake

play19:15

the attributes of the head of Youth

play19:17

Development on the other hand are seem

play19:19

to have no impact on the ca ratings or

play19:23

the PA ratings or the youth intake are

play19:25

regardless of the timing of their change

play19:28

all right time to make a summary of

play19:30

today's findings

play19:31

one the following variables in the game

play19:34

have a correlative relationship with the

play19:36

quality of your youth intake

play19:39

professionalism of your head of Youth

play19:41

Development

play19:42

ambition of your head of Youth

play19:44

Development

play19:45

the level of youth training facilities

play19:47

of your Club

play19:48

the level of Junior coaching of your

play19:51

club and finally the youth rating of

play19:54

your club's home nation

play19:56

these variables will have their effects

play19:58

on the quality of the youth intake as

play20:00

long as they are changed just before the

play20:03

youth announcement event that triggers

play20:05

some time between March and April

play20:08

2. a high level of Youth recruitment of

play20:11

your Club will raise the PA ratings of

play20:14

your youth intake but only if an

play20:16

improvement in the level of Youth

play20:18

recruitment is made before the youth

play20:20

preview event which happens sometime in

play20:21

December also youth recruitment has to

play20:24

be above 10 out of 20 for it to have any

play20:27

tangible impact on the quality of your

play20:29

youth intake

play20:32

right folks that's it for today's video

play20:34

uh thanks for watching and uh yeah just

play20:37

follow the advice I gave you in this

play20:39

video and the god of football manager

play20:41

play20:43

Wonder kids every year okay I'll see you
