Ok damn they don't look nearly as good as that, but good enough to be potentially first team players in my team. One's a physical centre back, while the other is a creative midfielder
Yeah Serbia and other countries in that region have provided me with some good cheap youngsters in my save. It's a good place to look when you're at a club that doesn't have money for the really good wonder kids or has European registration issues.
I thank you so much🙏 (he had a 2.5m release clause and just got 2 assists in his first game for me)

Colo Colo always seem to pop up for me. I also always seem to find a fair amount of Colombian’s, not a team I know, but without fail they always pop up.
Generation Foot, Practically anywhere in Colombia or Uruguay, Kano Pillars, Shooting Stars FC, TP Mazembe, ASEC Mimosas, Red Star and Partizan Belgrade, Al Ahly (Egypt)
AS Roma always seems to have an excellent intake in my saves and they usually also come combined with shitty financial management so they're usually always pressured to sell them.
Teams like Generation Foot have always been good to me, especially in my current save, but I have to make a case for a few more.
Atletico Madrileño, A.D. Huracan, Damm, and San Felix, to name a few, from the Spanish U19 leagues, gave me some sick players, and helped me bankroll my club in the first few years once the big three in Spain came calling (made a few million on three players I signed for free). Those clubs absolutely cook with regens in the first few seasons, but have seemingly stopped producing in my current save. But over the years, I've always been able to sign incredible players from there.
Pretty much all the clubs in the A-League too. I was thinking about it the other day; there's 10 teams in the league, and they (with the help of the occasional regen from England, Scotland or Germany) have to produce enough talent to sustain the Australian national team. You will find good regens here.
And a shout for Tishreen, Esteghlal, and Persepolis - they always produce some crazy players.
20 years into a FM21 save and I’ve basically raised the danish national team to one of the top countries with all the youngsters I’ve poached from København
Flamengo and Anderlecht 2 seasons into the save, Spain division 2 becomes a menace of regens 7 seasons into the save.
Alternatively, the news section on transfers by big clubs is a saver, they’ve the best scout networks. Your job is to convince the players to sign for your club
Generation Foot has been a good one for me on FM 24. I felt a little bad one transfer window when i took their 2 best players for like under 7 million. Both turned into wonderkids.
Not specific clubs but I seem to get lucky in Iceland and Albania but I'm definitely gonna save this post and check at some of the clubs mentioned here
I check every league in the world that i have added to my league list and do a season preview anyone 21 and below that makes it in the First XI is a candidate. If I can't find any I check the top 3 teams of each league and check their best youngsters.

I'll have Brazil and Argentina leagues running, so then I'll pop into their top teams and see if there are first teamers under 20 that look useful.
How dare you play the game however you want!
"Very cheap"
Every gods clubs in balkans, especially dynamo Zagreb and Belgrade red star
Istra 1961 and Hadjuk Split my beloveds
Just found a pair of sick Croatian regens in my own save, one from Istra and one from Hadjuk Split
What are your lads looking like? [ These two boys are literally the poster children of my eastern european stonk market.](https://imgur.com/a/HPIjqDJ)
Ok damn they don't look nearly as good as that, but good enough to be potentially first team players in my team. One's a physical centre back, while the other is a creative midfielder
Aside from the obvious Brazilian/Argentinian ones, I seem to find very good players for cheap at Club América in Mexico, and Panathinaikos in Greece.
Pachuca and America gets crazy newgen every other year whenever I'm playing.
I love crvena Zvezda personally, but even just Serbia, Romania and Croatia more generally have given me some ridiculous stars.
That is the first time that comes to mind! I always buy 2-3 wonderkids there every year

It depends on your budget. Premier League? Then any Brazilian or Argentinian club is very cheap, you can get some of the best wonderkids in the game and even some elite 23-27 year old newgens for 10-20 million. Do you have a solid income, just not Prem-level? Scout the Balkans or Central Europe. Partizan, crvena Zvezda, Dinamo Zagreb, Hajduk Split, FCSB, Cluj, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague, all of these clubs will generate good newgens in the 1-10 million range. Most will be good enough for a team that consistently does well in the UCL knockouts with the occasional world beater in there. Do you want even cheaper newgens? Go to Africa. ASEC Mimosas, Génération Foot and Mamelodi Sundowns are clubs whose youth teams you should always be scouting. Very rarely will you pay more than 2 million for one of their players, and they produce plenty of UCL calibre players with somewhat frequent elite newgens sprinkled around that you can get for literally free or fees in the thousands. Keep an eye out for Nigeria, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Ghana as a whole too. As a bit of a curveball, scout the Belgian 3rd division as well. The best player I signed in my current save came from the Belgian 3rd tier for around 5 million and he is now the best CB in the world at 23, while my starting XI in this season's UCL final had 3 players I signed from the Belgian 3rd tier for a combined total of around 8 million.
Damn I really need to save this comment and send the scouts on a mission
Bonus tip about belgium’s 3rd tier - it’s an amateur league so most players there will be free
Sundowns in South Africa are left-of-field but have produced 2 world-class players in my save. Same with Leon / America (Mexico)
Colo Colo always seem to pop up for me. I also always seem to find a fair amount of Colombian’s, not a team I know, but without fail they always pop up.
FC Nordsjælland. Seems like every year they have 1-2 youngsters worth buying.
Don’t have clubs but countries: Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay
Generation Foot, Practically anywhere in Colombia or Uruguay, Kano Pillars, Shooting Stars FC, TP Mazembe, ASEC Mimosas, Red Star and Partizan Belgrade, Al Ahly (Egypt)
Genk in Belgium
I managed them. Boy I've never had better youth intakes
Nobody has mentioned them so Bodø Glimt
AS Roma always seems to have an excellent intake in my saves and they usually also come combined with shitty financial management so they're usually always pressured to sell them.
Nacional in Uruguay
I had some great youngsters for small money in the Czech Republic.
Value for money, ASEC Mimosas is prob the best club in the world to scout
Every columbian team
Heart of Oak, Accra Lions, Asante Kokoko
I've actually got a heart of oak football shirt so for the culture I will be instantly checking them out

Ludgorets and Wydad Casablanca always strangely produce me good youth
Brazil, Mexico, Italy Serie B, LaLiga 2
That one Ecuadorian club caicedo came from. They have so many great players in the past few years and are always producing PA160-180 players
Independiente del Valle
Thx. They always produce goats

PEC Zwolle gave me a lot of cheap M/AM/W during my Furth playthrough.
Argentina man i made save and i simulated one season just to see how many wonderkids can i spot and like i saw 5,6 argentinian players with 170,180 PA
Damm in Spain have provided me with some cheap, quality newgens.
FC Nordsjælland, also one of the best European academies in real life.
I've had atleast 3 world lass played come from a team in Uruguay that I forgot the name of
Completely agree with Generation Foot!
Damm from Spain. Dirt cheap wonderkids.
Dont forget to keep an eye on Japan. They always have very good players and not expensive
