Regens

Reputation of the club within the league

The best regens will be created at the best club in the league. For example: Barcalona and Manchester United. This means the club with the most reputation - not the club that has been winning the league recently.

Example: there is a better standard of regen created in Brazil's second highest reputation team than in Mexico's top reputation team.

This factor is ambigious, but It seems to affect the nationalities of your youth intake. Basically, check the scouting range/knowledge of the person who is responsible for getting youth to trial at your club - see "staff reponsibilities".

This factor is ambigious. A simple explanation is that it affects the local geographic area that your regens come from. It is not known how this exactly affects the quality of regens - you should still try to upgrade to the maximum possible given your club's current status. Apparently -

Feeder clubs may also have an impact on your regen's quality, but it is not known if it actually does. You can request an upgrade of your Youth Recruiting Network & ask for Feeder clubs by talking to the boardroom. NB: Not all boardrooms are created equal. Some boardrooms have a sugardaddy and some are not very ambitious at all.

Do you see the players with the stupid CG faces? (example: see above player) They are "regens" - randomly* generated youth players created to replace/refresh the database of players.*NB: Regens are randomly generated, but ... there are some factors which strongly influence the standard of quality of the regens (CA and PA):Regens first appear as trialists at all of the club teams that have youth acadamies. A seperate "candidates" team will appear in the list of squads that your club has on the date of respective country's regen date. Sadly in the current version of FM2013 you can no longer see your opponent's candidates/trialists. They will instead directly join the under18 team on a youth contract (but they will still be cheap & undeveloped).A day or more later, depending on the club & league, there will be a trial day event at your club (In real life youth trials will probably go for several weeks). After the trial event, the trialists will be offered youth contracts by your Assistant Manager. Trialists accepted by the club will join the most junior youth team. The rest will be deleted when the trialist squad is deleted from the list of squadsHere are a few of the important dates that regens are created on:see below for a full list
