Welcome to\u00a0Exploring Newgens<\/em>: an article series on finding the best youth prospects across the globe for your FM17\/FM18 team. From Scotland to Australia, Korea to Nigeria, and Peru to Canada, there are plenty of players generated in-game with the potential to make a difference in your squad. Join Alex Dieker as he guides you through each continent, analyzing the benefits of scouting certain areas, clubs, and players.<\/p>\n

We now traverse from one massive continent in Africa<\/a> to Asia \u2013 a diverse, populous, and intriguing region. From Middle East masters like Iran and Iraq to Pacific powerhouses like South Korea and Japan, you\u2019ll be able to find a newgen for your team from Asia (that is, if you know how to find one).<\/p>\n

\n

The Nations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Asia<\/p>\n

Asia has seen a huge growth of people interested in football in recent years, and that fact is certainly represented in Football Manager. Japan, South Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Jordan all have 3-star ratings in youth development, while many others have 2 or 2.5.<\/p>\n

By simply looking at this map, we can see that the Middle East has some great potential for newgen production. Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Syria supplement the already-strong youth production potential of Jordan, Iraq, and Iran. However, it is important to note that these youth ratings don\u2019t necessarily translate to better players, just the potential to find better players. For example, it is clear that Iran produces better newgens than Jordan.<\/p>\n

India is the only real potential destination for your scouting projects in South Asia, but the Southeast is another story. Thailand and Vietnam have garnered some attention because of their strong leagues in recent times, and their youth ratings are a respectable 2. While Indonesia and China\u2019s ratings aren\u2019t great, you\u2019ll probably find some quality players by virtue of their massive population and good club infrastructure. Finally, South Korea and Japan are probably the best destination in the entire continent in terms of finding great newgens.<\/p>\n

\n

The Teams<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While countries\u2019 youth ratings are important, they don\u2019t cover the whole picture of producing a great player. In Football Manager, clubs with good youth production are also required if a youngster with massive potential is what you\u2019re after. With that being said, it\u2019s often beneficial to scout specific teams\u2019 youth teams. One way to do this is to search in the youth intake menu for these specific teams [Tutorial: Part 1<\/a>].<\/p>\n

On Passion4FM\u2019s 105 Best Youth Academy Clubs in FM17<\/em>, four Asian clubs make the list.<\/p>\n

Team | Junior Coaching | Youth Recruitment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maccabi Tel-Aviv (Israel) | Excellent | Well Established<\/p>\n

Maccabi Haifa (Israel) | Good | Well Established<\/p>\n

Tokyo Metro Feliz (Japan) | Good | Extensive<\/p>\n

Kyoto Mantis (Japan) | Good | Extensive<\/p>\n

Now, there are obviously some other great clubs in Asia besides the four mentioned. What I recommend doing is going to the profile of each (important) nation, clicking on a few of the largest clubs, and scouting their youth players. If you have a large staff of scouts, this shouldn\u2019t be much of a problem. If not, a quicker way to find a country\u2019s best newgens is by checking their youth national sides \u2013 they\u2019ll usually include the bets youngsters from that nation.<\/p>\n

\n

In my experience, I\u2019ve had the most reward from scouting players in Japan. I\u2019ve found it tougher to sign South Korean players due to some extra restrictions on player movement. In addition, I\u2019ve found a few wonderkids in Iran and China, but very little beyond that.<\/p>\n
