I'm with Everton in the 2012/13 season. I have noticed that even though my youth facilities are excellent, my youth players never make it to the first team. This gets really annoying when i have to register players for Champions League or Uefa Cup as i have to pick some of my reserves in the team while leaving out some first team players so i can have 4 players trained at Everton. As many of you have realised, Everton doesn't have a lot of money so it's not easy to buy players to replace old ones. So i need to use my youth players so i can save money.
Does anyone have any idea how to improve the quality of my youth players or somehow bring better youth players into the club?
Thanks in advance!
My scouts don't report anything even though their information about a specific country is high.
Example: My scout Andre Vilas Boas is portuguese and i asked him to scout Portugal for players less than 17 years old. After he finished his scouting i checked his reports screen. On his reports screen there is no player he has scouted.
So any other ideas about what i can do?

What size database do you use? Small normal large or Huge?
Portugal usually doesn't have very good youngsters. Try Spain, Germany (brilliant regens i've found) and England, of course. French youngsters can't be signed until 18, as well as the Brazilians. Also, make sure you are patched up because scouting results have been increased in the newer patches.

Another piece of crap dished out by SI. The quality of the players that come through your youth ranks is DIRECTLY linked to your clubs reputation. This means that nearly all the youth players that come through the top, say, 5 sides in the world will have a PA of around 150+. This is why, year after year in this game, Man u, Milan, Barca etc produce plenty of players that willl go on to become top flight players and teams like Eveton will be lucky to get 1 average 1st teamer in 10 seasons.
Imo this is complete balls as the likelyhood of another Rooney from Everton is next to impossible.
When you scout for players under 17, your asking your scout to search for players that are already at other clubs that are under 17. Like i said, the standard of your regen youth players at Everton is directly linked with evertons reputation. Only thing i can suggest would be to cheat and change Evertons rep to 10000 as even having the best 5 scouts won't get you better regens. I'd love to hear SI's official take on how clubs recruit youth players as at the moment it looks like they think the best 8-9 year olds flock to the highest rated clubs and then the lower clubs get the left overs, rather than the reality of having top quality scouts searching the globe will get you the best kids.

But on the flip side, how many wayne rooneys or top class players have the likes of everton produced over the years? Not many
How many top class players have man utd, liverpool, barcelona ream madrid produced?? Quite alot compared to everton!!
I understand your point, but I think that the top clubs should be producing the majority or top players or prospects because of the resources and reputation they have

Anyone who has ever used a scout tool knows that you are wrong. Even the best clubs in the world will be lucky to produce more than one PA 150+ player a season: most of their youth will end up at least a couple of divisions down. It might happen that they have a golden generation occasionally, of course, but you'd have to concede that it's possible for a top club to produce 5 international standard players in one season IRL unless you're going to pretend that the 90s and Man Utd didn't exist. Some seasons they won't produce any 150+ PA players at all. Of course, the will produce more PA 150+ players than Everton over 10 years (assuming their reputations and youth facilities stay approximately the same) and their youth team will generally be better in terms of CA than Everton's. I'm not convinced that this is entirely unrealistic...
It's not next to impossible for Everton to produce a Rooney class player: running FM Scout over a game I just finished I find in the Everton academy a regen right back with a higher PA than Rooney who will most likely be the best Welsh footballer ever seen. Much better than anyone in the Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool or Barcelona academies, some of which don't have any high PA players at all (Everton have two, with another signed from the mighty Ross County.) It doesn't happen very often; it doesn't happen very often in real life either. Feel free to disagree if you can point me to all the other Rooneys produced by Everton and similar clubs like Villa and Newcastle over the past 5 or 10 years. SI have the balance about right here: most young players produced by any club in any season won't make it, and most clubs wanting to develop youngsters into Premiership players will have to poach the most promising teenagers at other clubs. If anything, the regens produced are slightly too good.
So basically the only thing i can do is manually search for players from other clubs and then try to sign them for my youth team or get FM Scout and search for youth players with high PA and sign them?
Will improving my youth facilities to 'state of the art' help getting better youth players?
