4Three2One variations, I have taken inspiration from Waltons ZaZ Tweak I have dropped the wingers down one notch, changed the SPs and changed some roles in the different versions uploaded.
I've tested each one with PSG, see results below. AM in charge of general training and team selection. No editors used and I know its PSG and its easy but I wanted to share these because I think the results are very good even with an elite team.

Formation will play a role in what positions are brought through the intake but the other factors such as personality will determine how many good personalities you get but for me, the youth intake is a lottery. if you get the best facilities, recruitment and coaching then for me your chances of getting a superstar go up. In terms of attributes of the HOYD, I don't the coaching attributes will play a part.
Ill be honest, I am still adamant that I've read from a reliable source that reputation plays a part as the higher the reputation the HOYD has then the more likely the best youth players will want to play for them. But I can't remember where I read it and it's since been said on the SI forums that it doesn't matter so hey ho
Middleweight165 said: In terms of recruitment and the quality of player in the intake? Expand
Recruitment, the HOYD will look for players to fit his preferred formation. HOYD preferred formation doesnt plays a part in the quality brought through. Quality is based on other factors. Reputation isn't one of them
I'm not sure about which countries to get an affiliated club in, but I would potentially be looking at Asian countries like Japan etc.. and I think if you sign a player from that region that may increase shirt sales
Just been playing around with a few ideas from tactics I've seen knocking about lately and put this tactic together.
It seems solid, I've tested it a few times with PSG and will look to do some more testing soon, but putting it out there as its a little different but getting results
Them 3 attributes are classed as key attributes in game and all the sites I've been on are saying these attributes are needed for a good hoyd. As there is a consistency with these attributes appearing on all these different sites, I would say that they are key to having a good hoyd
Middleweight165 said: I still think its not clear whether reputation has an effect. Ive seen multiple sources claim both ways and Ive never seen official source comment either way. I ignore but I could be wrong Expand
I think reputation is more around recruitment, so I would say it would benefit DoF and potentially technical directors if you have them recruiting staff
Good post, well written up. You're right the AI doesn't respond to your tactic, it responds to your reputation. The higher up the league you are, the more chance the AI will change mentality as it see's you as a threat. Praising training is often overlooked along with criticising training.
Reputation plays a part, the better the reputation the more likely you'll get an excellent intake. Ill try and find the chat on the SI forum which confirmed it. The other things you've listed there are important too especially personality
I'm not sure the head of youth development (hoyd) coaching attributes will impact youth intake, I know reputation and formation are important, well formation is important as its best to get a good hoyd whose preferred formation is similar to yours so that he brings in youth players for them roles (hopefully) but I've not read anything that suggests coaching attributes impacts the attributes of players in the intake.

but I still can't find anything solid about how reputation play's a part
