Have you ever wondered what happens in Football Manager when in-game seasons go by and real players start to fold? How does the game continue? Which players appear on the teams? Well, you can ask Sepp Hedel, a German who holds the Guinness record for longest Football Manager save, no less than 333 seasons in Football Manager Touch 2017. But, if you don't know Sepp, don't worry, I'm here to talk to you about the topic.

As the years go by in the game, the spaces left by the retiring players are occupied by youth players so that there is always a base of players in the game, regardless of the withdrawals or the passing of the seasons, guaranteeing the continuity of your save. These players are called regens and can be identified from the second season, mainly by the image of their face that is a face created by the game with a digitized appearance. These regens appear at a certain time of each year which varies depending on the country and is introduced through youth intake.

In previous editions of Football Manager, it was even possible to predict where a certain regen would appear based on the player who retired and that made it easier to search for these future cracks. However, in the 2020 version, this has changed because Sports Interactive, always chasing as much realism as possible has created a random system that makes it impossible to predict the appearance of regens. However, there are still certain actions that can be taken to find these potential football stars:

It is always important to have the best possible scouting team and to give them constant assignments, that is, that the entire team is working at all times in order to receive constant updates.

Expand the knowledge area of your scouting team, hiring knowledgeable scouts in areas of the world other than the ones you usually check, so that your options increase when it comes to finding the best regens.

Carry out special monitoring of those clubs with a reputation for producing great players from their youth systems such as Ajax, Sporting Clube de Portugal or Boca Juniors and River Plate in Argentina. In fact, it is advisable to pay attention to the regens that are emerging in Argentina and Brazil.

An increasingly common practice is to go to the Youth Intakes section of the World menu in the Globe Icon and create a database based on the scouting of these players and subsequently, filtering the best ones. The criteria to prioritize during filtering, in addition to the typical characteristics of each position, are personality (who is ambitious or professional), description (who is promising or wonderkid) and especially, determination, the higher this attribute is, and there is a greater probability that the young man is a very good football player.

There are some tips that serve over the seasons to continue strengthening your team every year without making a large financial investment.
