One thing Football Manager players love more that finding Wonderkids, is developing their own and seeing them emerge in your Youth Intake. To do that, you need the best FM23 Head of Youth Development.

To make that task easier, we’ve created a list of the best Head of Youth Development in Football Manager 2023.

Best FM23 Head of Youth Development Explained

There are three key areas in which your HoYD should be talented in:

Judging Player Ability — How good the young player is.
Judging Player Potential — How good the young player could become.
Working with Youngster — Does what is says on the tin.

Head of Youth Development — Scouting knowledge

Once you have upgraded your Youth Facilities, Youth Recruitment and Junior Coaching, another element of your Intake will come down to the knowledge of other countries youth HoYD has and the bigger pool he’ll be able to sign players from. If he has knowledge in Brazil and Argentina, you could bring through your own South American wonderkid.

Head of Youth Development — Personality

Everyone wants a youth star with a strong personality and the best way to do that is to have a HoYD with an ideal personality:

Model Professional
Professional
Resolute
Determined

Nail a HoYD with one of these and his influence will often match the youngster would come through in your youth sides.

Another metric to look at is his tactical preference. If your HoYD loves a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2, he will develop players who will fit his system. Although not a deal breaker, but to have your staff match your philosophies will go a long way to guaranteeing a useful Youth Intake.

Throughout the duration of the game, you will come across plenty of Newgen Head of Youth Development options and some will often be better than who you can approach at the start.
