    Unique youth scouting locations?

    Anyone know of lesser searched locations for quality youth? Locations outside of the major Brazils and Germanys of the world's is what I'm looking for. If you've found any solid players in somewhere like, say, Egypt or something. Just curious because I just find it more appealing to have players from different locations and such. Let me know guys!

    Technically you could find quality youth in any region you search. However, some regions have a higher probability of finding higher potential players, it's in the game code. You can read about it here:

      On FIFA 14 I searched for stars in Finland for years and found some.
      As NightmareBooster said, that link above is marvelous.

        Got a kid rn with 83-92 potential in my system for about a year now who is a CB from China, thought that was crazy. I tend to send 1 guy to Germany/USA for a full year and 2 others to randoms

          On a side note, thought I post it here since I don't feel like it is thread worthy but I had the most disappointing YA player. Found a RM that is 5 star skiller and ~84 potential but to bad he has like 49 speed. such a waste

            There in lies the YA's biggest flaw, in my opinion. With the exception of Wingers they all trade pace for something else, you almost never get a combination of strengths and weaknesses. Even worse is the fact that physical growth is totally hit or miss, but more often than not it's miss. They don't start physically growing until about 5-6 seasons in, if the grow at all.

              Ya it would be nice if we could get some speed for once. EA needs to know that you can teach skill but you cant teach speed and quickness

                This is why more and more I'm looking for wingers. They usually come in at every position, even found a pretty good striker while scouting for wingers. It's gotten to the point that most every other type of youth player is dreadfully slow. This also keeps me from finding keeper after keeper. Every once in a while I need to send out a scout to look for defense, though.

                    I wonder what would happen if we put a pacey fullback at CDM.

                      I really want to find an English striker but I'm having no luck whatsoever! And besides, like NightRaven said, very one is so slow! I think they need to patch that!

                      Any advice on finding strikers in general? What do you search for? Technically Gifted? Physically Strong? Any?
